What seperates slower sprinters from elite sprinters?

An analysis of the upright mechanics, including leg drive and ground contact stiffness, that separate elite sprinters from slower runners.

What are the upright mechanics that separate elite sprinters from slower sprinters? 👉 High knee lift — powerful leg drive — and stiff ground contact. Easy right? 👨‍🏫 But there’s some nuance here … we already know that a powerful leg drive is generated through the musculature surrounding the hip — that’s why it’s called ‘whip from the hip’ in the first place. But what about the stiff ground contact? 🏃 One way we like to look at this is by understanding the relationship between proximal and distal muscle-tendon ratios... 🎓LEARN MORE in the new ALTIS Course - From Gun to Tape - A Pocket Guide to running a fast 100m. 👀 Get it for just $47 through May 21st. 🌐 loom.ly/74LzFHs #100m #sprint #speed #trackandfield #athletics
