The following chart are National norms using hand times for 16 to 19 year olds. Whether you are talking about 2 yards, 5 yards, 10 yards, 40 yards or even 60 yards, EVERY position on the field relies on speed/quickness HEAVILY and 99% of the time 40 yard and less speed is MUCH more important than 100 meter speed, so that is what they train for and they train their asses off lol. The assumption has been that Jackson's 4.12 was a hand-timed 40. Privacy Policy (10 yard / time split) * 0.91 = Max Velocity m / s So while it would be a good predictor for a 400m specialist as far as top potential, I think its rather limited for sprinters in general. I made my point 3 different was and still failed to be clear. Football players, especially NFL players, ARE world class athletes/runners, often times with world class speed, so dont you think they would want to exploit that talent by making millions in the NFL ? On the next WC, I would like to see the IAAF setup 2 finish lines with the first one at 91.44 meters. It's easily verified. and a quarter horse. If you want to improve your academic performance, try studying with a friend. equals 91.44 meters. He undoubtedly was a legitimate world class sprinter who would have also set the standard for the 40 yard dash if the NFL combine system of tests were in place back then.

English distances for field events should always be expressed as feet dash inches. Jackson is famous for playing baseball in the Major Leagues and football in the NFL, but he also was a track standout - good enough to qualify for the NCAA indoor championships in the 60-yard dash twiceand reaching the semifinals at the national meetwhile at Auburn. In my example, we are ASSUMING world class sprinters can reach top speed at 30m, and not between 50-60 meter mark. Always round up the last digit of the final time. If you are getting a flying sprint from combine testing and you are still using yards, convert the 10 yard split with the formula below.

Jackson received a 7 grade for speed, which is the rating for "very good," and not an 8 for "outstanding," and he was timed at 4.1 seconds over the 30 yards from home to first, which, of course, involved getting out of the batter's box after hitting the ball, not exploding from a four-point stance as runners do at the combine. Nothing against Football players, but they dont train for the 100 meters like true 100 meter sprinters. And weve also met the guys who have good speed who say are jumpers or 100m guys, etc, and they run an amazing 400 the first time out, because they have great natural endurance and have the toughness component. This app is amazing it really helps me in my math class. Chances are, guy A is gonna run a better 400m all things being equal training wise. My 20yd time was 2.6.

The technical storage or access is necessary for the legitimate purpose of storing preferences that are not requested by the subscriber or user. In the end I think the 200 and really the 300 are better predictors, because as any competitive sprinter knows all sorts of things happen from 60-100-200 meters, which really determine what kind of sprinter you are. It really comes down to faster tracks, not better training. Subtract 0.24 from FAT to HT, and you are looking at 8.6 or 8.7 hand time. We did absolutely no endurance work, no strength work, no work at all. I submit that a world class sprinter would happily strive to trim time from any interval in the entire 100 meters and works tirelessly on that very thing.

What event was it. It seems to me that it would be much more accurate to find the coraltion between 40 times and 400 times if you took elite 400 meter runners (who are close to their potential) and time them in the 40 yd dash.I would asume that a collegite athlete that can run a 48 or 47 400 could easily run a 4.8 or 4.7 40;at the same time im sure their are plenty of high school kids that can run a 4.6 40 that could not run better than a 50. or 49. quarter. I was great even at an early age at the first 10-20 yards but lack body/muscle mass at longer distances to keep accelerating and maibtain speed. While showing Jackson, Bolt and Smith can pick them up and lay them down, those mathematical gyrations don't contribute to finding an answer to who ran the fastest 40 at the NFL combine - Jackson or Johnson or, to muddy the waters more, Eastern Kentucky wide receiver Rondel Melendez, who was credited with a 4.24 40in 1999.
