The record is 44.72 km/h (27.78 mph), measured between meter 60 and meter 80 of the 100 meters sprint at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics by Usain Bolt. [4] [5] (Bolt's average speed over the course of this race was 37.578 km/h or 23.35 mph.) [6] Compared to quadrupedal animals, humans are exceptionally capable of endurance, but incapable of great speed. [7]
Human physiology dictates that a runner's near-top speed cannot be maintained for more than 30–35 seconds due to the depletion of phosphocreatine stores in muscles, and perhaps secondarily to excessive metabolic acidosis as a result of anaerobic glycolysis. [1] In athletics and track and field, sprints (or dashes) are races over short distances.
Equivalent to an average ground speed of 10.45 m/s, 37.63 km/h, or 23.38 mph. He ran the last 100 m in 8.70, the fastest ever recorded time over a 100 m distance. This would equal an average speed of 11.49 m/s, 41.38 km/h, or 25.71 mph. 300 metres in 30.97 seconds 27 May 2010 in the Golden Spike Ostrava in Ostrava, Czech Republic: NR
In decathlon or heptathlon, average wind assistance of less than 2.0 m/s is required across all applicable disciplines; and maximum of 4.0 m/s in any one event. As an exception, according to rule 36.2, specific event organizers may choose to ignore wind velocity readings exclusively for their specific event records (e.g. a performance in a 100 ...
The fastest human footspeed on record is 44.7 km/h (12.4 m/s; 27.8 mph), seen during a 100-meter sprint (average speed between the 60th and the 80th meter) by Usain Bolt. [ 86 ] Speed over increasing distance based on world record times
Instead of panicking and sprinting away, focus on de-escalating the situation. Running may trigger the bear’s chase instinct, making matters worse. Tip #2: Ditch the Bike (If Necessary)
The 40-yard dash is a sprint covering 40 yards (36.576 m). It is primarily run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of American football players by scouts, particularly for the NFL draft but also for collegiate recruiting. A player's recorded time can have a heavy impact on his prospects in college or professional football.
