For the so-called power events that require a relatively brief, explosive release of energy, like the 100-metre sprint and the long jump times and distances have improved ten to twenty per cent. In th

38、e endurance events the results have been more dramatic. At the 1908 Olympics, John Hayes of the U.S. team ran a marathon in a time of 2:55:18. In 1999, Moroccos Khalid Khannouchi set a new world record of 2:05:42, almost thirty per cent faster. 自从20世纪早期国际田联起先记录成果以来，运动员奔跑的速度，跳的高度，投掷重物的距离都在稳步提髙。在那些须要爆

39、发力的项目，比如100米跑和跳远项目中，时间和距离都提高了10%-20%。在耐力项目中，运动成果提高得更多。1908年的奥运会上，美国队的约翰?海因跑出了2小时55分18秒的马拉松成果。在1999年，摩洛哥的选手海耶斯以2小时05分42秒的成果创建了新的世界记录，几乎提高了30%。 No one theory can explain improvements in performance, but the most important factor has been genetics.

Over the past century, the composition of the human gene pool has not changed appreciably, but with increasing global participation in athletics and greater rewards to tempt athletes it is more likely that individuals

41、possessing the unique complement of genes for athletic performance can be identified early. Was there someone like sprinter Michael Johnson in the 1920s? Dapena asks. Im sure there was, but his talent was probably never realised. 没有任何一个人的理论可以说明成果的提高，但是最重要的因素是基因。印第安纳高校的运动科学家Jesus Dapena援引一常用谚语说“运动员必需

42、当心选择自己的父母。”在过去的一个世纪里，人类基因库的成分并没有显著地改变，只是全世界有越来越多的人参加了这项运动，诱惑运动员提髙成果的物质嘉奖也越来越多，因此现在比以往更有可能尽早发觉那些独具运动员基因的个体。Dapena问道：“在20世纪20年头，能找到像短跑运动员迈克?杰克逊一样的人吗?我敢确定是能的，只是人们从未意识到他身上具有的才能。” Identifying genetically talented individuals is only the first step.

These methods include strength training that duplicates what they are doing in their running events as well as plyometrics, a technique pioneered in the former Soviet Union. 识别基因优秀的个体只是第一步。加州高校FuUerton分校的运

45、动科学系的退休教授Michael Yessis认为基因在运动员的表现上只起三分之一的作用。但是，辅以正确的训练，我们可以做得更好。他认为美国的赛跑选手尽管已取得了众多骄人成果，但他们是“靠他们的基因在跑”。通过运用更多的科学训练方法，“他们将跑得更快”。这些方法包括力气训练。这些训练再现运动员在竞赛中的动作，并应用了前苏联首先运用的一种训练技巧增加式训练模式。 Whereas most exercises are designed to build up strength or endurance, plyometrics focuses on increasing power the rate at which an athlete can expend energy. When a sprinter runs, Yessis explains, her foot stays in contact with the ground for just under a tenth of a second, half of which is devoted to landing and the other half to pushing off. Plyomet
