You’re only showing one form of athletes. Basketball players build most of the time are tall and lanky. There are exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking most of them don’t have a lot of mass to them in general. Also being explosive does not always correlate with out right strength. You can be extremely explosive but not be as strong as someone the same size as you. Overall I think this logic is a little flawed.

​@@griffin7274 I mean the line between skill and athletics is pretty blurred. Basketball is still an athletic sport because all of the skills needed are functions of the body. Ball handling requires superior rotator cuff strength and stability and velocity. Crossovers, for example, require superior hip mobility, stability and strength etc.

[@griffin7274]

Muscle Μass doesn't necessarily make you slower. It's a compilation of genetics, tendon health and myofibrillar to sarcoplasmic mass ratio. Most muscle mass on athletes is myofibrilllar (which generates force) but bodybuilders focus on sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (which is the storage for more muscle fibers)

[@raindoset5408]

True,there are muscle strength training and muscle hypertrophy training. If you want strength you do strength training if you wanna look good you do hypertrophy training. Some people do have both though (like mike tyson),and they're way stronger compared to others in their field because the muscles also acts as armor rather than just being a strength source.

[@griffin7274]

Fantastic explanation dont forget how fast motor units can be called into contraction from axons in nerves.

So are these myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic all just depend on your genetics or can you train these?

[@griffin7274]

@@dereinekurde5270 manly genetics but u can increase size of them and make them more dense. Via stronger and bigger. But power how fast a muscle can be called into contraction is pretty much Gene's, think standing vertical jump. U can get stronger get little faster with technical training and sprinting. closer the distance less it can be trained. Such as the 40 yard dash very genetic like vertical. 2 best trained systems in the body are cardio and strength training. Cardio is aerobic oxygen based and strength training is ATP and suger based system that power the muscle. Like I said above how much muscle that can be called into contraction by a nerve aka motor unit is Gene's. I could go on little more about neuroscience but that would be to much typing. Starting strength has great articles about this. Poor laid we are watch is a goober lol.

[@lucasmellnick]

@@jasonphan2001 I won't disagree with that, but a large amount of football players were sprinters in the past throughout highschool and/or college. Maybe at the highest level they wouldn't beat them, but some would definitely be close if we are choosing outliers. There's definitely a certain body type thats appropriate for certain activities and absolutely in athletics the car analogy works well. However, when it comes to just pure athletics, if you take a football or rugby player, and take the time to teach them the game of basketball, or you take a basketball player and teach them the basics of football, then you will notice that the difference is actually skill and not size. There will be certain advantages in terms of size like being thinner in basketball to be able to split a defender and drive the net or bigger in rugby and football to be able to absorb a hit or run through someone, but simply saying muscle makes someone less athletic is untrue in the highest degree. Andre DeGrasse doesn't need to be hit, so hes just gotta be thin and powerful so he can excel at his sport like you said, but if he was also given the time to learn the basics of a sport, he could play pretty much anything based on pure athletics alone, and that's the same for pretty much anyone at the highest level of their respective sport.

It's important to remember that the standards for muscle growth changes in different eras of sports. in the 80s 90s and early 00s in the nba you had to be strong and muscular to deal with people like shaq, david robinson, and bill laimbeer. Now athletic sports has moved into efficiency based training and game plans to ensure statistically that a tea can win, thats why Jokic has won 2 mvps in a row, and muscular development isn't valued as much as fitness and stamina (byproducts of a leaner athlete like kevin durant) because muscular growth and training doesn't result in the same statistical results as fundamentals and aerobic performance (fitness).

Luckily I’ve been able to maintain the best of both worlds. Skateboarded most of my life and started lifting at 29. 3 years later I’ve put 25 lbs of lean mass on but still kept my vertical and sprint explosiveness. You just need to be aware and do maintenance stretch routines to keep your flexibility. “Hard to kill” is the motto.

Being big does NOT mean you cannot move well. In fact, if you train for strength, mass, and athleticism all together, I guarantee you can get all 3.

[@jonwailes6805]

Can you analyze the wrestling physique

[@youngkobe6645]

Well their strength also influences their game as you see 6”10 kid shooting more then dunking while he’s more lean but 6”9 Lebron dunking more then shooting because he weighs more and can dominate more in that area. That is why when Shaq was in his prime he put a lot of muscle on his arms because his whole game was revolved around the inside and bodying his opponents

Thanks for only showing a sport where muscle mass isn’t advantageous and ignoring sports where it is needed.

Dense (small but strong) muscles > puffy (big but weak) muscles

[@joshuamclean4588]

Putting on mass while increasing strength to mads ratio can be very good cuz unincrease total force output and lb for lb strength. I gained a lot of strength with calosthenics and I also include weight training and now I learn olympic lifts. So I’m different than a marathoner or basketballnplayer that doesnt make me less athletic because I have more mass. Cuz I also train athletic movement.

I mostly agree, but there are some exceptions like Zion in basketball or Tyson Fury in boxing..dude is huge but moving like a middleweight guy..

[@thomasih4627]

i mean it depends on the sport, like in this example basketball is one type of sport where you dont need that much muscle, along with soccer, sports that are primarliy focused on running, speed and agility typically have skinnier athletes(just look at professional runners) but sports like football, boxing and swimming based sports, most of those athletes are big and muscly

[@golstonefran]

Depending what sport your playing in. Yes i agree you don't want to be too bulky it also depends on what sport you play and the postion you play or as a fighter whats your greatest strength grappling or striking.
