Power Sprinting

Power Sprinting: "Maximum strength – Developed using heavy loads (80% 1 rep max) lifted between 1-5 repetitions with long recovery between sets.Explosive Power – Loads are lifted that allow the athlete to optimise power output (30-80% 1 rep max). Exercises using both heavy and light loading can be combined to form a ‘complex’ (e.g. heavy squat, followed immediately by explosive squat jumps).

Quickness – Plyometrics (hops, jumps, bounding) can help an athlete develop the speed of movement required during sprinting."
