Speed Training for Athletes – Two Factor Strength Training

When discussing speed training applications for athletes, there are numerous factors to consider.

Some of which include:

1. improving stride length
2. improving stride frequency
3. improving leg drive
4. improving transverse hip to shoulder action, ie. rigidity (resistance to movement), mobility for the sporting action (remember, mobility is specific to the action), removal of soft-tissue abnormalites
5. improving the strength of arm action; drive speed and turnover
6. improving individual and synergistic kinetic segment stability (where appropriate) and mobility (where appropriate)
7. improving RFD (rate of force development) and reactivity
8. decreasing ground contact time
