Long distance running does not take any athleticism, powerlifting requires at least some

I'm not a long distance runner. But I could trounce most casual 5k races. Long distance running sucks imo.

But a functional body + training = athletic. Athleticism is a history of training. So yeah, long distance running requires athleticism.

Not sure wtf you think athleticism means.


I think athleticism is something that's hard to measure. IMO, guys who pick up a variety of athletic activities and easily excel in them are athletic. Guys who are explosive, strong, and have a lot of endurance are athletic. Guys who only train themselves to run long distances or lift a heavy weights aren't athletic IMO.

By your definition of athleticism pro gamers are top notch athletes. While they do have a lot of skill, most of them are definitely not athletic.


Athletes are participants in sports... I wasn't trying to write a definition worthy of a dictionary.

So anyone whose ever participated in any kind of sport is athletic?


For me, it doesn't matter how well someone excels when they first pick it up. I'd rather look at the people who excel at the elite level than at the beginner level.


Wouldn't those who excel at something at a higher rate than others have a considerable advantage, even in the "elite level"? Guys who I started training jiu jitsu with who fell behind skillwise are still behind me to this day. Even though we've both put in the same amount of work for the same amount of time, the fact that I may be more athletic than them has helped me to leave them in the dust.

Explosiveness, strength, endurance are all results of training. Having a noteworthy amount of one of those previous to intentionally training for it is really unremarkable. Intentionally training for one thing in particular will usually be optimized by intentionally compromising other things. I don't see what's unique about specializing all in lifting power or long distance running that ceases to make it an athletic endeavor and, by natural extension, ceases to make its best pursuers athletic.


You seem to be confusing the term athleticism with the notion of training hard to be good at one thing. Athleticism is the intelligence of your body; some people have a higher IQ than others.


English disagrees with you.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/athleticism

ath-let-ic
–adjective
1. physically active and strong; good at athletics or sports: an athletic child.
2. of, like, or befitting an athlete.
3. of or pertaining to athletes; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina: athletic sports; athletic training.
4. for athletics: an athletic field.
5. Psychology. (of a physical type) having a sturdy build or well-proportioned body structure. Compare asthenic (def. 2), pyknic (def. 1).


This article written by athletes agrees with me.
http://www.endzoneathletics.com/content/view/35/66/
"First, we must understand exactly how we define athleticism and skill before we can discuss how they relate to each other or how to work towards improving them. Athleticism can be defined as, "the ability to use a variety of motor abilities (strength, power, speed, agility, coordination, stability, balance, etc.) to effectively and efficiently perform a wide variety of sporting actions." Less complicated than it sounds, this definition simply means that being a great athlete requires possessing a variety of athletic qualities (motor abilities) and being able to use them effectively to perform sporting actions. Although specific "sporting actions" are different for each particular sport, most sports also have many common sporting actions required such as sprinting, changing direction, and jumping. The difference between an average athlete and a great athlete is the ability to perform these things effectively, efficiently, and consistently. "

See how easy that was?

Instead of further straying from the subject, we should have some sort of physical gauntlet to see who really is the mastah. Crossfit anyone?



HELL YA CROSSFIT! Its all i do! i love going to the gym, and every time i walk out it feels like i am going to puke lol

@mnm - what ultimate team do you play for?

@NonY - what were you're PRs in 800/1500?

And I'm agreeing with the people who are defending distance running - I did cross-country for 4 years in high school (would've run in college but the coach was a blubbering idiot), made the state meet my senior year. So much involved in that. Plus the mental edge to things too, makes it even more difficult.

Yeah crossfit is good stuff man. The local CF place lets us train there for free as long as we put CF logos on our shirts and banners. It's awesome.

Kettlebells, battling ropes, tractor tires, rowing machines, chains, sleds, medicine balls. Love it.

It's not me. I am a competitive cross country skiier and have also done vasaloppet (90km) 10times but my double poling is way too bad to get a satisfying results. Main fault is my upper body so due to that I cant place high in the real topic area of having a good looking body.
I also compete at a rather high level at orienteering and I do cyclosportive races when it comes to cycling.

Would be interesting to find members that are better than me in those sports.

Anyway I wont post any pictures due to skinnyness.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

I'm not sure if I'm the most athletic but I'm damn sure up there.

I run marathons, eat well, do yoga, lift weights/do plyometrics when I'm bored, and have spent 2-4 hours a day 4-6 times a week participating in grueling MMA workouts for almost two years now. I'm pretty strong for my weight (155 lbs), fast, and have cardio for days.


I could throw you further than you could run in a minute.


you could throw kawaii farther than you can throw his bucket

Hmm I'm prettys sure we have talked briefly about that before. Was it you that took out a girl on a date and went cc skiing?
If not there are one more of us.

I'm not good but I am very serious in my commitment to skiing. I normaly place last among the serious skiiers in normal competitions and above the more for fun people. I'm not holding a FIS code this season tho since I wont compete internationally or in bigger competitions.
