In acceleration, force is horizontal relative to the GROUND not to the mover.

Relative to the mover, it is still vertical force.

Yeah?

[Bryce Patterson @BrycePatterson]

Short ground contact times are a RESULT of being fast, not a cause. Focusing on decreasing contact time in sprinting will decrease force application. Impulse is the 🔑

[Brian Buck @brianbuck6]

Here are two @SEC athletes in the same football position reporting back to camp. Both have been given roughly the same volume of activity, but yet we see two completely different responses to that same stimulus (internal load). Frequently assess to monitor and mitigate risk.
