Do you run faster in shorts or pants?

Question

I have a practice today for track and feild and I want to know if you really do run faster in shorts,many people say that since the have no sleeves going all the way to the bottom they dont get in your way or are lighter

Answer 1

You will run faster in shorts than in pants as shorts are lighter and less confining. The more clothing you wear, the more useless weight you have. The difference will probably be subtle, but every fraction of a second counts, right?:)

In shorts you run faster because you get more air, with trousers it gets to tight to move..=)

shorts. because pants add more weight and when it hits the wind it slows you down.
