In this video for developing speed for all ages, it will discuss the second phase of all sprint races, Max Velocity. It will also discuss the meaning, postures, mechanics of the phase. Subscribe: www.youtube.co...
First of all wanted to Thank you for the knowledge that you shared with us your time and you effort it is much appreciated, I wanted to know if you could talk about the breathing while sprinting thank you.
I notice the runner in this video will sprint with fingers outstretched and arms tight.. isn't it important to stay relaxed while in the full motion of sprinting?? I can understand tension at the start of a race coming out of the blocks and gaining momentum but after 30 meters everything from the waist up should be at ease
Hey this may be a dumb question but in sprinting I have a little bit of a dilemma. So I was told that ground force is what makes a sprinter fast but I tried putting a lot of force, almost like a hammer and there has been no noticeable improvements. Then I question should your legs focus on going forward with knee and quad drive? Or does everything go downwards?
Pwnya145 it is a mixture of the two. The force back into the track is what makes you faster. The higher the knee/quad drive the more force you will be able to put back into the track. Your arms are also important in the force being placed back into the track.
Should you focus on legs forward and arms downward? Like if you were to explain where the forces go how would you explain it? For example, I'm understanding legs going horizontally forward and arms vertically down.
Remember if your thinking too much about hitting the ground hard your movements might be slower it should flow a bit its al about speed, the best analogy I've heard is your legs should be (somewhat) like pistons you want to hit the ground hard then explode back up then back down as quickly as you can
Hey ! I started to watch your videos since now, they are very nice and detailed, all my life i had to have endurance because of cage fights but i am so, so bad at sprinting. Just a question, should i follow these steps in your videos or should i start slower ? Thanks for all effort with these videos, i know its not simple to make a video like this, all the luck man
If you are just starting out, you can work our way up, but sprinting helps power output. Being a cage fighter, putting power into your punches, kicks, etc would benefit you as a fighter. Get your general endurance up (Mileage, general strengthen, etc), then work your way up.
A couple of observations. Velocity is speed in a particular direction, i.e. straight line speed. Your definition at 00:32 is not correct. It should say, *distance* in a period of time, in a straight line. And the athlete in the video is performing a "modified" running stride to increase stride length. Mostly, only elite athletes do this but the trade-off is an increase in injuries. You should only teach this with high-performance athletes that can handle it, not show it to up and coming athletes who are still developing.
You can teach wicket drills to any age of athlete, especially ones that are developing. The only change would be the distance between the wickets. Obviously their speed, strength, and power may not be that of an athlete that is elite, but the premise is the same, teach mechanics, and how to run full speed and apply force while doing it.
Not necessarily. It will solely depend on the athlete. Take it from two different ends of the spectrum. You may have a youth kids that run extremely fast when young, but as they get older, their bodies start to change, and the plateau. Then you may have a kid that wasn't as good as a youth, has some effort placed into them, and they blossom. Then you have the elites, who run fast, but as they get into the mid to late 20s, they start flying. It all depends on the individual.
Joseph Mendez yes. Increase your strength and power in your legs (deadlifts, box jumps, jump squats, single leg lunges, etc). Your hand is depending on your preference. Some run with their hands open and vice versa.
@@jimmyscutts8082 I do have online plans. I got rid of my website, but I'd you email me at coachwellingtondevelops@gmail.com we can talk about it more.
vince11baller harris speeds endurance, speed endurance , speed endurance . Running intervals between 60-150 meters at at least 90-100 percent. And obviously make sure you Technique running gets better.
