๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ต Performance explosive sports as well as endurance sports is stagnating, reaching a plateau since the โ80s. Same story for human longevity. Recent data suggest a plateau around 115โ117 years that may indicate the potential biological upper limit of our species in terms of longevity.
๐ฆ What about performance in new sports, for instance CrossFitยฎ. This is the first individual sport where excellence at both the endurance and strength spectrum of performance is required.
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Going off snatch weights at elite CrossFitยฎ competitions, there is still a 1-2% every year, which would put the sport of CrossFitยฎ still in the linear phase of improvement.
โ Has anyone of our followers good data on cross-sectional performance parameters of typical events in CrossFitยฎ comps (Snatch, Squat, 2K row, โฆ). Would be interesting to plot them. Comment below your thoughts. โโ
