Wrong. Look how many retired sprinters pack on the pounds.
I'm not saying their training doesn't burn enough to influence their body composition. I mean the reason they are as insanely shredded as they are, where you can see every muscle fiber in their bodies, is because they are first and foremost genetic freaks. Most people will never get that lean no matter how they train.

WRONG. With crossfit, they can.

Where is all of this nonsense coming from? I agree a disciplined diet, Xfit or some type of lifting, combined with HIIT training, can make most people look buff and muscular.
Essentially that is what elite sprinters are doing, but with a stronger emphasis on the HIIT training, running form, and the time it takes them to get down the straightaway.
the actual amount of energy spent by Bolt in a 100mt race is about 277 cal, included a miniscule amount to overcome wind resistance (possibly as low as 0.020 cal for the race), but mostly energy required to move legs and arms back and forth and other body movements and functions
Bumping thread; how many calories do you burn in an all-out sprint, and particularly, how many calories do world class sprinters burn?
1. the more explosive, broad-shouldered, and dynamic sprinters, like Usain Bolt
2. the svelt, like Andre DeGrasse
I saw this exact answer on google. What kind of B.S. is that?
0.02 to overcome wind resistance? Huh?
so 16/50 of a [big calorie C], or about 0.3 calories, aka [big calorie C] aka kilocalorie per mile, or 5 kcal per mile? Drag is high at 27 mph, which is half of Usain's race, in a 100m.
And 277 kcal; if we're truly talking [big calorie C] kcals, what we normally call calories, then that's exorbitantly more than the 0.02 quoted above for energy used to overcome drag.
