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.

@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.
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
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,
@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.
