      Equally important is to have solid sprint mechanics! If you do, you need less power or reactivity to be at the same level. For example, let's say your "power" in your sprint specific muscles is 80/100 (100 being the max), but your mechanics are only 50/100 (shitty), you wont be nearly as fast as you could be with good mechanics. On the flip side, someone with perfect 100/100 mechanics could be faster than you despite only being a 50/100 in power.

    I'm a former division 1 sprinter and high hurdler. I can tell you exercising my hip flexors and improving my flexibility were absolute game changers. My coaches would always say you can only get faster if you increase stride length without losing stride frequency or vice versa. Flexibility helps with stride length. Hip flexor training improves stride frequency.

      A little late to your comment but can you tell me why a snatch grip deadlift can be beneficial towards sprinting? Compared to just a normal deadlift? Genuinely just curious

    • @EfficientAthletics
      @EfficientAthletics Рік тому +4

      @Grayk-ge5vo Greater range of motion because your grip is wider. You have to start deeper, and the lift at the top is closer to your hip crease. You also work your back and grip harder. Could also be beneficial if you ever decide to do snatches. Which imo all field athletes should eventually do a snatch variation

In most sports it’s your acceleration over ten meters and your stopping ability that make the biggest difference. Again, love the video.

I will admit I'm typing this as I paused halfway thru because I was super impressed that you're one of very few content makers that use actual scientific models and studies to back up your suggestions. You may touch on this later in the vid but what is your take on hill sprints (incline sprints)? I also have to admit I usually do not introduce RDL's or heavily resisted sled pushes until the athlete has demonstrated really good form. I see it cause too many lower back issues as well as making them prone to Anterior Pelvic Tilt.

    Sidenote: if you really want to gain speed; it's better to start with heavy weights to gain the right muscle, and then later on you should use lower, high velocity weights. In this way you have more muscle to activate and thus more speed.

    It might sound a bit stupid, but this advice was given to me by an Israeli naval commando vet (Shayetet 13) - another way you can increase your run speed is to practice sprints downhill. go all out on a soft surface to avoid knee blowout. over time, your legs will be pushed beyond their normal full speed because of the momentum. Our body adapts to what we demand of it.

    For weighted sleds you can use a car. I use 2 adult males, or 2 teenage males and a female on a 1600kg 4x4. One car push 20m followed by one block start 20m.
    And a break of 2min between.
    It's also handy if you run out of fuel. As the mother of 14 and 16 year old girls said to me. They pushed the car into a servo really easy. Lol.
    Only issue is. We had a guy try and help them a training one day. He thought the were trying to clutch start the 4x4. Lol had to tell him to leave it there training. They were both really fast girls.

      Did flying 30s, 60 and 100s all were slower. But just like throwers it's good for a balance of the body strength.
      Try sprinting in the dark too. Really dark no moon or lights. You get good body feel. Livens shit up that's for sure.

    • @TheSprintProject_
      @TheSprintProject_  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you 🙏🏼. There's research along those lines on pro athletes in other sports. Anytime you do something in one direction your body is going to adapt and optimize for that which tends to lead to muscle imbalances. If we looked at elite sprinters who run 200m - 400m their muscles on the right side are probably shorter than on the left. I haven't looked into it enough though.
