Yesterday, @KenClarkSpeed published a new paper analyzing 0-10m acceleration in 24 elite American sprinters (51 Olympic/World Championship medals combined). Today, here's one coaching takeaway: Don't coach 30 athletes every rep. Pick ONE technical focus. Watch FIVE athletes. Coach that detail. Repeat. He also explains why longer contact distances in team sport athletes aren't automatically a flaw.

For practitioners working with competitive sprinters, results in this article provide robust normative group mean practice data at the highest level of T&F, while simultaneously illustrating the variety of kinematic strategies that can be employed to achieve elite performance.

Excited to announce our latest publication examining initial acceleration in elite Americans sprinters, published in Sports Biomechanics. This sample of athletes included male sprinters with a group mean 100m PR < 9.9s and female sprinters with a group mean 100m PR < 10.9s!

🚨NEW STUDY - Pre-PRINT🚨 Sprint running (max and submax speed) is a great plyometric stimulus🏃🏻🦵: direct comparison of ground reaction force-time w/ classical plyometric tasks. Read our new study (Pre-print) by @CriFubiani et al. here & send feedback🙏: researchgate.net/publication/40…

language around this comes from the work of researchers like Weyand & Clark, who have done a lot to explore both the drivers of speed and the mechanisms that help explain them. And like all science, this is an ongoing process. We refine the model, keep learning, and keep

organize the skill at high speed. Force matters a lot, but it doesn’t exist in isolation. Limb repositioning speed matters because it sets up the strike. Read @kenclarkspeed work on “whip from the hip.” What happens during the collision is essential as well… A lot of the

A follow up to the previous video… While force is STILL king…it’s a simplification, and I wanted to add some nuance. Speed isn’t one variable. It reflects force output, limb mechanics, posture, timing, coordination, tissue qualities, and the nervous system’s ability to
