ELASTICITY FOR SPEED - part II
Muscle elasticity plays a critical role in enhancing both muscular power output and sprint speed. Here we delve into the importance of dynamic flexibility, plyometrics, sprint technique, and strength training to develop and maintain optimal muscle elasticity. Photo Sports Performance Bulletin

ELASTICITY for SPEED - part I
In a 2 part series we examine the hows and whys of increasing tendon elasticity through improved flexibility, circulation, eccentric loading, and neuromuscular control. We apply this to a program to achieve more efficient running mechanics, allowing you to store and utilize elastic energy effectively and potentially improving running speed.

plyo power
Plyometrics is a form of exercise that involves explosive movements, such as jumping and hopping, to develop power and strength in athletes. Implemented properly, plyometric exercises can improve an athlete's ability to generate force quickly, which is essential for hockey.
