Speed Development
Linear & Multi Directional Speed of movement applies to all forms of human performance and development. Speed, the result of applying force to a mass, implies movement at a constant rate. By carefully analyzing the factors affecting speed, we can better understand this aspect of human performance and thus be in a better position to improve this function in athletics. During a run, the positive force developed by the muscles is counterbalanced by negative forces including gravity, velocity changes, acceleration of limbs, deceleration of limbs and air resistance. Thus, speed can be improved either [...]
