Baseball Has Unique Speed Training Needs
When we are looking at speed training, a track and field coach would break it down into training for acceleration (i.e. the process of increasing one’s speed), training for maximum velocity (i.e....

Schache et al, published in the April issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, conducted a study investigating how each of the three hamstring muscles experience sprinting. The authors studied...
Being able to increase speed is important to just about every athlete and coach. Speed helps to determine success in almost every sport and position, is evaluated to determine if you make...
The contribution of strength to sprinting (both acceleration and maximum velocity) is difficult to pin down in the literature. While it sounds logical that strength is important for speed (more strength equals...
