East African : long distance sports because they train in high altitude places which means they have less oxygen to work with and as a result, when it comes to running in competitions they will be able to run for long.

Caucasians : swimming due to the fact that they tend to have a lower bone density which means they are more lighter in water. This means they are better at swimming than most.

Indian : cricket ]]> 2018-01-16 14:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716368 Kane w https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716579 West Africa- sprinting, because they have a higher amount of fast twitch muscle fibres and have the jenes. 
East Africa- long distance, they train in high altitude and are Tipically a ectomorph. 
Caucasian- swimming, lower bone bencity, meaning they are lighter. 
India- cricket, that’s all they play

East African - short sprinting events due to the fast twitch muscle fibres.
Caucasians - swimming events because they have a lighter bone density compared to black people.
Indians - ]]> 2018-01-16 14:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716675 Haris https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716827 West African- sprinting: They have a high amount of fast twitch muscle fibres aswell as a gene type known as allele D meaning that they have a higher average of pumping oxygenated blood around the working muscles.
East Africa- long distance: due to the fact that they are likely to carry out training in high altitudes, this means that they can adapt their cardiovascular system to a place where oxygen is low 
Caucasians: swimming
Indians- cricket, hockey

east African- long distance due to altitude
Caucasian- swimming, a light bone density because it helps them float.
Indian- cricket....

factors that we need to consider are their climate/altitude, bone density, levis, body comp facilities. ]]> 2018-01-16 14:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716901 Katie https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716931 West Africans-  Sprints because they have a large amount of the fats twitch muscle fibres which are suitable for sprinting events
East Africans-  Long distance/ marathon running due to them living and were born in places that have high altitude. 
Caucasians- swimming events as they have a lighter bone density so they are better at floating and swimming. 
Indian-   Cricket, anomaly]]> 2018-01-16 14:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716931 Robert https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716991 West Africa - sprinting events, naturally have more fast twitch muscle fibres
East Africa - Long distance, because they are able to train at high altitude meaning they adapt to a lower oxygen density. This means that when they compete in a lower altitude they are able to to take in more oxygen and use it more effectively.
Caucasian - swimming, have a lower bone density
India - cricket]]> 2018-01-16 14:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221716991 Yinka https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221717969 West African - Sprinting, because the correct amount of fast twitch muscle fibres which are ideal for sprinting and generally quite tall and which allows them to get a better stride length over Caucasian opponents.

 East Africans Long distance events, this is because the areas that they live are in high altitude which would increase the amount of haemoglobin and red blood cells
  

]]> 2018-01-16 14:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221717969 Sasha https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718000 West African-Sprinting events/short distance  
this is because they tend to have a higher muscle and bone density which is used for power as well as having a lower body fat percentage. their body shape is narrow hips and they have a high level of testosterone with a higher amount of fast twitch fibre and finally more anaerobic enzymes meaning they don't need oxygen as much. 

East African- Marathon and long distance 
this is because they have a high level of haemoglobin which is due to living at a high altitude with less oxygen. they also have a greater number of red blood cells with a large lung capacity. More energy producing enzymes in muscles and a high level of slow twitch fibres 

Caucasians- Swimming 
They are an anomaly but their bones aren't as dense meaning we don't sink in the water meaning we are faster. They also have a higher level of upper body strength meaning they are more muscular with short arms and legs but a thick torso. 

Indian- Cricket 
They are anomalous but their social and cultural aspects may influence them ]]> 2018-01-16 14:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718000 Lewis https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718084 West Africa - sports associated west Africa include: sprinting. the reason being is that people who live in this part of Africa tend to have faster muscle twitch fibres whereas people who live in east Africa participate in long distant sporting events which require a strong endurance ability. therefore because of this, their body would have adapted with the ability to produce more slower twitch muscle fibres to reduce early fatigue and an improvement to their endurance ability. furthermore, people who train in east Africa train their bodies with a higher altitude when compared to athletes in west Africa; because of this; their endurance ability ]]> 2018-01-16 14:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718084 jesse https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718418 West african- sprinting, more bone density provinding more strength which they can use when running to generate more power to go faster and more fast twitch fibres allowing them to use up more energy for explosive power during anerobic event

East african- long distance they dominate this event because they are naturally in a high altitude environment]]> 2018-01-16 14:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718418 kenan https://padlet.com/rnayla55/race/wish/221718843 West African - For these categories it would be mostly 100m -200m events that be dominated because people in this part of the world will develop with a higher muscle mass than people that would be East African.
