Track and field coaches divide sprint training into three components; acceleration, maximum velocity, and speed endurance. Acceleration is the process of increasing your velocity. Maximum velocity is running all out. Speed endurance...
Resisted sprinting is a tool that is frequently used in speed training. The idea is that by making the movement more difficult, the athlete must learn to recruit more motor units to...
There’s a great deal of interest in making team sport athletes faster sprinters. There are a lot of approaches to doing this from speed training to strength training to plyometrics. Speed training...
