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.
ACTING on IMPULSE
Training Impulse (TRIMP) is a well-established metric used to quantify training load in athletes by assessing the intensity and duration of physical exertion. It integrates heart rate data into a formula that reflects an athlete's physiological response to training, facilitating effective monitoring and management of training loads. Dive in
