Does flexibility increase speed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Correct type of stretching will definitely help develop speed. Reciprocal Inhibition of the Antagonist muscle with its Agonist.

Ideal Tension Length relationship between Agonist

and Antagonist will produce the best contraction, this is not to say a Olympic Weight lifter needs to be supple or flexible he or she only needs to have the correct length /Tension between Agonist

and Antagonist of Primary movers for specific sport. Stretching at the wrong time or the incorrect muscle for a given sport will hinder performance. Have you ever noticed for example a 100 meter sprinter will stretch their Hamstrings at the starting blocks but never their quadriceps? This is because it would prevent optimal contraction of this very powerful group of leg muscles.
It is best to seek a expert to prevent incorrect stretching protocol.

What is the force of of a human punch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The hardest punch ever recorded or at least of what I know of was a 3150 psi strike that's about 221 kilogram-force per cm sq. The take into account the padded glove which absorbs much of the impact, and then the padded surface of the target and you end up with a number similar to that of an average man swinging a 20 lb sledge hammer with a surface area of about 9 square inches, with a velocity of about 60-70 mph. This is enough force to break any bone in the human body, even if it were safely hidden behind a cinder block

What is the national sport of Thailand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most popular team sport in Thailand is football. However, the professional leagues Thai League and Pro League in Thailand are in their infancy. The English and Premiership have large followings. Muai Thai is probably the most popular spectator sport in Thailand. The other main indigenous sport is Takraw, which is similar to volleyball but played with the feet and a light rattan ball. There are several versions of the game with differing rules.

There is a Swan Boat circuit where the villages field teams compete. The international invitational race is usually in November.

Egg rolling once enjoyed national-pastime status, but famine and egg shortages around the middle of the last century caused it to retreat to rural villages, where it is still practised with traditional vigour.

How many rounds are in a boxing match?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Amateur: 3; also five-two min rounds. Pro: 4; 6; 8; 10; 12 no laws against "15" round matches still. Are their 'laws' against 20 r. boxing?? If their are/ those laws are most certainly -regional- and no possible further jurisdiction. Now: are "5" r. boxing matches ever slated? The answer is yes and you WILL SEE them in records if you keep searching long enough. I have seen them many times. Are their ever two round matches slated? again, they do exist in records. Even one round slatted distances are to be found in records. "7" round matches have happened. As have "11" r. matches. Normally it is even number rounds that are used. (note: their are many, many boxing matches happening around the Globe, every month and the numbers would -probably- amaze the average joe on street).
