It has to be taken in a context and u can't make a person who is not born with an innate ability for that sport to go beyond a certain level.

For example I think the longest un assisted dive record is around 6 mins or more, so we have a person who has this ncredible ability to hold his breath for 6 mins or more and an average human with do max 45 seconds, can all the training make the average guys do the same? No but maybe he can improve from being 45 to 120 seconds.

Yes modern training and knowledge does allow one to improve to a greater exrtent but I don't see a Chahar with all his train become a Mavi or Nagarkotti.

You have rhythm bowler, power bowlers and freak who have some level of elbow extension or hyper extension, fast twitch fibers along with a good action and hyper extension is the perfect recipe for me.

Power bowlers gain pace later as they get stronger but they normally are not express and will be fast for a shorter time.

Rhythm bowlers tend to loose pace fatser as they get older.

The needs of a marathon runner, sprinter, wrestler and body type is entirely different, u should have the basic ingredient and then you can improve on that or some just hit the jackpot as far as genes, guys like Nagarkotti , Mavi who have the natural ability.

 

Agreed, if you see Malcolm Marshall he did not have the typical gym body, he was a fit cricketer but bowled super fast with a scary run up. Even Fidel Edwards does not look like someone who pumps iron but he has clocked 157 kph before.

People from African ancestry are blessed with natural athletic ability, Indians are not naturally athletic bunch on average, nothing to be ashamed of.

African origin folks tend to have more atheletic frame in countries where slavery lead to immigration, this was due to selective marriages among them ( forced marriages between the best workers to put it lightly), its a dark period of human history...if you read about it you will get lots of interesting insights, movies like Django unchained will also help :).  Indians tend to have a problem with low protein diet ones who rectify this are pretty normal in terms of athletic ability or lack of it.

Interesting, but then the local Africans have exceptional records in sports too. If a chaotic country like Senegal can regularly qualify for Fifa WC, that says something.

football I guess is down to specific set of skills. you can't expect African countries put together to compete against India in all divisions of Olympic sports for instance put together..it's more that just athletic ability it's ability to play a particular sport to the best in world class which Indians consistently do not manage.
