Sprinting and jumping teach you how to direct that force, how to time it

and how to express it under time constraints.
This is why just strength training or just running alone isn’t enough.
This quote is from my program and eBook, Speed Kills, my most thorough resource on speed development.
I cover resisted sprinting, plyometrics, and weight

Muscle structure can influence sprint performance.
In female sprinters, longer fascicles in the vastus lateralis and gastrocnemius were significantly correlated with faster 100 m times.
Pennation angle was not correlated, and higher body fat percentage was associated with
