A recent study found that athletes with better acceleration weren’t just “staying low” … they were organizing the foot, shank & ankle in positions that allowed more force to be directed horizontally.

We did it, together.

@Fred__Duncan Interesting to see you post this, Fred. After reading more sport biomechanics research, I also drifted away from the falling start some time ago.

[Michael Newkirk @newkm1]

@Jacobtheclipper I have trained myself in this before, and I can tell you that 3 mins is very, very impressive. 😤

[Michael Newkirk @newkm1]

Definitely getting stronger but like always, trying to do it in a smarter and more complete way.

[Michael Newkirk @newkm1]

@Fred__Duncan Great diagram, fr.

[Michael Newkirk @newkm1]

@Hoopss Same. One of the best answers ever.

[Michael Newkirk @newkm1]

Fred will certainly make you think about how you train for speed. Having spent years diving into speed development, from the field, matches, the track, and pouring over results in academic papers, I have a strong appreciation for anyone I put in the "rethink" category. This guy!

The muscle tendon unit doesn’t adapt uniformly.

Muscle fibers can change in size, stiffness, and contractile properties relatively quickly. Tendon can’t. Tendon adapts more slowly.

Max velocity sprinting is a movement built around tendon behavior.

The late swing to ground

[Fred Duncan @Fred__Duncan]

The hill is something that’s stayed in my programs for years. There’s no cost, it’s easy to set up, and it naturally fixes a lot of common sprinting errors.

The incline forces better projection and posture without over-coaching, and it’s a little more concentric-dominant,

I mean, inspiration, fr, fr, but it's gone take a while. 🤣
I'mma try tho. The hips really are the key. ⚽️💪🏾

@MaijaTate @BamaStateWSC Always putting in the work. Great job, Maija! When you hit those rebounders, practice a quick scan even in tight spaces. And if you can lift your head, even just 10-20 degrees more with the ball at your feet, it'll greatly increase the amount of information you can take in. 💪🏾⚽️

@leetaft There is one of these at my local field that's about 2m long and made of turf. I do these after training and after games, but not many people use it.

If you're training acceleration, why wouldn't you consider the KPI's of acceleration in your jumps, throws, lifts?
