I was hoping this would be a more mechanical/physics defined limit. Along the lines of "given bone shapes and mass, muscle mass, maximum twitch speed, and energy expenditure, we determined the maximum performance combinations and their physical limits."
- 082349872349872 2y agoLet's say we have a 100 kg sprinter capable of anaerobically producing 20 watt/kg for up to 10s. How fast could they reach 100 m from a standing start, in a vacuum, with perfect traction? Having forgotten how to set up simple integrals, I've consulted the interwebs, which claim d = (8*P/9*m)^1/2 * t^3/2 Assuming I can still do algebra, that's t = (d / (8P/9m)^1/2)^2/3 ~= a little over 8 sec ?
