There's no doubt that most athletes would benefit from speed training. But what exatly does speed training involve?
Producing your highest level of speed and maintaining it requires the combination of different types of athletic training...
1. Strength and Power Training
Speed is largely determined by your muscles' rate of force development or power. You cannot develop your highest level of speed without developing peak power.
2. Maximum Speed Training
Speed training helps to improve speed off the mark and acceleration. Moving your limbs at maximum velocity requires motor neurons to be stimulated and fired in co-ordination and at just the right time.
3. Speed Endurance Training
This helps an athlete maintain a high level of work intensity for longer.
4. Sprint Technique
Perfecting your sprinting technique will help you move more economically and with less effort.
5. Flexibility Training
A muscle can only contract as quickly as its opposing muscle (antagonist) can relax. .
