"The ability to express massive amounts of force is important, but unless you are a powerlifter it’s not as important as the ability to express massive amounts of force at a high rate. It’s not as easy as it might seem, especially since force is most optimally expressed at slower velocities allowing for maximal actin-myosin cross bridges. However, there’s more to producing force than simply looking at the muscle length-tension relationship, and that is the elastic tension created at maximal lengths and speeds. We will take a look at all those relationships a bit later.
For now, you need to know that a high rate of force development is attributed to faster sprints, higher jumps, and more powerful movements in general. You will also be interested in the fact that most sports require a high rate of force development to succeed at top levels including: golf, weightlifting, sprinting, baseball, tennis, and just about every other sport. Therefore, this is an article that all of you should pay close attention to and probably take to heart."
