China's athlete Zhu Jianhua set a world high jump record of 2.38 meters, but the flea's high jump ability is even more amazing. Someone did an interesting experiment. They put the fleas in the bottle, cover the bottle with a lid with air holes, and then shake the bottle to make the fleas jump. Fleas can jump 600 times an hour, for three days and nights, and the jumping height is 500 times their body length. The height of Zhu Jianhua's high jump is less than 1.5 times his body length. Sports bionics is interested in fleas and is studying them. It is said that there is a special biological cell on the leg muscles of fleas, and its deformation and elasticity are particularly good, especially when the temperature of leg muscles rises. British scientist Sheila found that the frog's high jump ability is also related to the leg muscle temperature. As long as the temperature of leg muscles is increased by 65438 0℃, the contraction speed of leg muscles will be increased by about 10%, and the jumping ability will be obviously improved. Therefore, today's sports bionics scientists try their best to increase the temperature of leg muscles when high jumpers take off.
Since kangaroos began to learn
Sprints used to start standing. Sheryl, an Australian sprinter, was once troubled by the stagnant sprint performance. He observed that although the kangaroo was dragging a big bag with a big belly, its running speed exceeded 70 kilometers per hour, and the long jump 12 meters. Cheryl found that kangaroos always bend down before running and jumping, put their abdomen close to the ground, and then jump up. Cheryl imitated the kangaroo and invented the squat start, so she achieved excellent results in the 1896 Olympic Games. Later, another athlete, Booker, dug a small shallow pit where he was squatting at the starting line, put one foot in the shallow pit, stamped his foot when he started, and the arrow shot out, realizing the sprint of 100 meters in less than10 second.
New swimming training methods
Swimmers learn the movements of frogs, so "breaststroke" appears. When dolphins are found to be much better at swimming than frogs, imitating dolphins has become a research project of modern swimming. Some people imitate kangaroos and make big-bellied swimsuits. They usually wear this bathing suit with sand in it and swim in the water with a big belly to exercise their physical strength and endurance. Once they lose their potbellied swimsuits in the competition, they will feel relaxed and agile, and their grades will be obviously improved.
Ants are world weightlifting champions.
Weightlifting coaches and sports bionics are studying ant's weightlifting skills. An ant can lift 10 times its own weight, but people can't lift or move 10 times its own weight. A 60 kg Hercules can't carry 600 kg. Why small ants have such great power is still a mystery.
Race with zebras and lions.
Bua, a Ugandan long-distance runner, usually exercises and competes with zebras in order to improve his performance. Ethiopian marathon runner Bisera runs faster than a lion after exercise. Modern sports bionics uses high-speed photography of galloping horse, and then shows slow motion to observe and study the running action of galloping horse, and finds that the secret of galloping horse lies in its powerful squat on its hind legs. Therefore, in order to improve the world record that is difficult to break for a while, modern sprinters train squatting and pedaling, let the soles of their feet land, and then pedal and jump hard, so that they can rush far and run fast.
animal games
The "Five-Animal Play" founded by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in ancient China, is a vivid embodiment of sports bionics. His student Cheng Pu did this exercise. He didn't lose a tooth when he was old. Modern cancer qigong therapy in Guo Lin also imitates the movements of many animals, such as deer, tigers, apes and monkeys. There are some actions in Taiji Zhuan, such as "hanging the monkey upside down", "carrying the tiger back to the mountain" and "shining the wings of the crane", which are also the results of bionics. Qigong's "Five Birds Play" simulates the movements, expressions and sounds of animals, showing tigers pouncing on food, deer jumping, bears staggering, birds spreading their wings and apes climbing, and has become a sports therapy with national characteristics.
In order to develop sports bionics, several animal competitions have been held abroad. Dozens of frog competitions have been held in California, USA. The champion of high jump is 3.5 feet, and the champion of long jump is 2.5 feet. Others, such as track race, fish swimming, kangaroo long jump, all the movements of the champion and runner-up are recorded at high speed as analytical research materials for athletes to learn from during training. Sports bionics has been paid more and more attention by sports circles.
