Hicks et al in April 2020 illustrated components of the sprint that helps guide coaches and clinicians to improve sprinting. There are 2 key phases of sprint: acceleration and maximum velocity. The athlete primarily produces horizontal force in the acceleration phase while primarily vertical force is needed at maximum velocity. They found that the whole spectrum of exercises ranging from low-velocity high-force resistance to high-velocity low-force resistance will help specif
