Cristiano Ronaldo, not only the cheetah: the secret of the white fish behind his record leap

Crtisiano Ronaldo is back in vogue after the goal scored against Samp. Meanwhile, a study done six years ago by the English University of Chichester reveals that the enormous energy that the Portuguese releases in the moment of pushing on the legs is five times greater than that of a cheetah in the maximum momentum. Which allows him to reach heights of up to 44 cm when jumping from a standstill and 78 cm with a run-up: numbers that equate CR7 to the average of NBA players. Merit of all this, in addition to mother nature, is the well-known obsessive care that the phenomenon of Funchal has for its own body: a very nourished diet (lots of fish, above all), rest and time dedicated to sleep split to the penny, the utmost attention to detail in every moment of the day. A living computer, here.

With powerful muscles in the thighs and upper part of the torso: gym, gym and more gym, to be performing and at the same time light. With a practically perfect jumping technique, too: the English research itself has in fact noticed that, having reached the highest point of its ascent, Ronaldo is able to give himself a further push with his feet so as to have new momentum and land more slowly to the ground.
