Ok so I have heard from a few people that black people have an extra ligament or muscle in their leg allowing them to run faster and/or jump higher. Personally I do not believe this because black people are not different than white besides the fact of skin color we ar eall human. Now having a larger amount of fast twitch fibers is a possibility. I just wanted to see everyone's opinions. (and again I am not racist and I do not want racist people replying on this thread thanks

More fast twict muscle fibre's black and whire are not the same.
Whites are designed for a combination of speed/distance/strength
you\'ll see white spirnters white marathon runners and pre-dominance of whites in ultra marathon and triathalon, and powerlifting and worls dtrongest man/strongman/woman events
black people have a more fast twitch muscle fibre's if they are from (i cant remember so forgive my ignorance) a certain part of africa and are built for speed, while another part of africa (kenya?) are built for distance, you'll find caucasians usually run faster than the marathon runners, and longer than the sprinters this is down to the muscles different make up in each of us. confusing eh?2006 OG
In on drep fade?

I read this in some paper, so please do not take this in the wrong way. What one scholar suggested that one of the reasons that so man African Americans are such good athletes is directly related to the immoral and harsh conditions during slavery. Slaves were treated in a manner similar to that animals and the strongest slaves were essentially bred to have the strongest babies who would grow up to work hard. Again I know that is is a very controversial notion, and as I am new here I do not want to offend anybody. I apologize if anybody is offended and mods please delete the post if it is too controversial/ innopropriate.
