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.
SPONSORSHIP: a reality check
Entitlement & lack of gratitude among younger athletes in the context of sponsorship is complex and deeply rooted in cultural, social, and psychological factors. Increased visibility, cultural shifts toward individualism, and a hyper-focus on immediate success all contribute to these behaviors. We investigate…photo copyright PUMA RSA
