40 yard dash to 100m

Fortunately the 20m time split of athlete is highly linear (As the graph plotted above the slower athlete tends to have a more gentle slope and smaller y-intercept in their 20m split graph.

Trending on MileSplit I ran the 400m in college and, though I didn't run the 100m, I could hit 11.00 at my fastest (hence why that wasn't my event). I can't help but feel like this sub is a bunch of teenagers when they're talking about people running 4.1's and 4.2's like it's candy.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castPress J to jump to the feed. 100 METER DASH … The 100 may be the best outdoor event to quantify speed.

When you're dealing with numbers this small though, a small amount of variance, or whatever your white noise/error term is, is going to create quite a bit of perceived difference.I will correct my data although I also the data from wiki with is on top performer in NFL combine after electronic timing is introduced.Personally I am not much a stat believer too, but what can I do is collect data from internet and calculate. I think applying these two filters simultaneously artificially eliminates athletes that excel at one race but are average at the other(I would hypothesize that is true for many NFL players)What I am focusing is NFL player who are fast. Herschel Walker ran a 10.22 at Georgia at like 225 pounds. As someone who does modeling for my job, I'm familiar with the hate in these comments. However, since the data gives a ok linear relationship from 9.5s to 13s, I decide to leave it.

Also, fans will also argue what is the real 40-yard dash record ran by Bo Jackson when there is electronic timers.Therefore, I do some researches on how the time split of 100 meter sprint athletes can be related to a short distance run. It came out as follows...3.674s (the first 30m) + 0.57s (the final 6.576m) = 4.24s4.24s - 0.10s (the recorded "fastest" reaction time) = This makes me think Bo Jackson's and Deion's 40 times are probably slightly exaggerated. Now corrected and surprisingly the average of error become very small.Another difference is that 100m times have a reaction time in them (nobody reacts instantly), while 40-yard times start on the player's first movement.Someone comes up with a pretty cool analysis (albeit it with flaws) and everyone in the comment section is just shitting on him. You have to follow that exact order. I'm fairly confident that a 4.3 40 yard dash is much more special than a 10.5.For me who are dead last in any sprint event held I really don't know how fast should be called fast. I am using the result of 100 meter Man 2009 Berlin Championship Sprint where Usain Bolt broke his world record 9.58s here (data can be retrieved Normally a 100m sprint athlete reach his top speed at around 50m, consider the acceleration of athlete is changing it is hard to compute a very accurate result.

The trends won't correlate out fantastically for every individual just give an estimate. As players compete much more times for their personal best, feel free to add ~0.05s for more probable calculation.Edit: If someone still reading the post I mistaken 40-yard be 36m instead of 36.576m. While I have found the 40 yard dash to be a perfect tool for training sprinters, 40 times are often misleading. Obviously the data will have some noise due to not so large sample size (119), but as the calculated one are about ~(Edit:0.05s) different from the real data I think it is a ok estimation.The 40 yard dash and the 100 meter dash are completely different races, and while guys that are elite in one tend to be at least very good in the other, attempting to correlate times doesn't particularly make sense, no more than trying to correlate 400 meter times to mile times.Your data has a significant selection bias, your pool of 40 yard times covers most athletes in the NFL, but your 100 meter times are limited to athletes that are two sport athletes in college, essentially track stars. No one is gonna track every 10m split in high school or random collage 100m sprint.your pool of 40 yard times covers most athletes in the NFL, but your 100 meter times are limited to athletes that are two sport athletes in college, essentially track stars.I was thinking of to include player who run very fast (e.g.
