Generally, it's exactly the opposite, due to lower body mass and of course, they are more aerodynamic.
the author of do taller people run faster then shorter people is Jim Liffer
They have longer legs which means further strides.
yes. They have longer legs. So they take bigger steps. They get tired easly i think
you should use "Does Size Really Matter?"
not exactlly. It depends on how strong your legs are
tall people would run faster because tall people can take bigger steps than short people. But it would also depend on their age. Even if you are shorter and younger you would run faster because even if an elderly but taller person were to run the shorter and younger person would have more energy to run which would cause the short person to win This isn't true. Shorter people tend do have a more compressed leg and therefor tend to have much more muscular legs and on top of that tend to have less weight and are able to make faster strides. This means short people can outrun taller people even with their extra leg length. You will find alot of runners arnt very all.
historaclly taller people don't run as fast as shorter people. Usain bolt is an exception. in the world of sprinters the fastest people are all in the 5'10-5'6 range. even on the distance side. this is due to the efficiency of shorter stride lengths but having high turnover. to do a project to prove/disprove this. find maybe 20-40 world class sprinters and find their heights and compare their times. do the same with distance runners see what happens
If your talking about steps yes. But my science teacher said shorter and leaner people can run faster and longer than the taller and bigger people because they have smaller steps= faster and more coordinated steps on the other hand, taller and bigger people have more weight to carry around if it's bone mass or just (sorry if I offend anybody) fat Hope I helped!!
They have longer strides which gives them an advantage in sprints such as the 100m and 200m.
tall people have long legs so their legs carry them a longer distance in one step than a short persons step. i have been a twin all my life and my brother has longer legs than me and ive always been the slow runner not because im a girl but because im short. I think that short people run faster because the have more energy and tall people get tiered easly.And try not to give up on your self always try.
the height does effect how fast you run. people with shorter legs run faster than people with longer legs
Yes, a taller person may have longer legs, allowing for a longer stride length. They may also have a higher lung capacity, which can improve endurance. Additionally, taller individuals may have a biomechanical advantage due to their body proportions. Finally, taller people may have more muscle mass, providing more power for running.
