HOW TO GET FASTER<br />
01<br />
THE SPEED FOUNDATION<br />
Athletic performance is just proficiency,<br />
efficiency and utilisation of movement and<br />
force. To get faster you simply need to become<br />
more ‘movement & force efficient.’<br />
07 MUSCLE STIFFNESS = SPEED<br />
Muscles are moderators of stiffness and<br />
stretch, rather than levers.<br />
Muscles act more like brakes while the<br />
tendinous tissues lengthen and shorten like<br />
springs.<br />

FEET + FASCIA =<br />
GLUTE DOMINANCE<br />
A stiff-foot lever creates a<br />
kinetic cascade that<br />
enables access to the major<br />
fascial networks involving<br />
the gluteal muscles,<br />
providing the lumbopelvic<br />
hip stability required for<br />
efficient and powerful hip<br />
leverage.<br />
LONG DURATION<br />
ISOMETRICS<br />
Long duration isometrics<br />
generate maximal velocity<br />
stimulation, strengthen<br />
eccentric action, encourage<br />
co-contraction / stiffness<br />
at the point of transition<br />
and proper relaxation of<br />
agonist muscles during<br />
force production.<br />
Strength for speed athletes relates specifically<br />
to building the relevant strength-speed<br />
qualities of the elastic and muscular structures,<br />
and developing the appropriate neural<br />
properties for driving maximal speed and force<br />
output they must be developed to handle.<br />
68 ABSORPTION<br />
Elastic Performance - “first train to absorb<br />
force, then train to absorb it quickly, then train<br />
to absorb and rebound it efficiently.”<br />
