How to Train for Speed Development | Training Methods to Enhance Sprint Performance

[@fcuvelier2830]

Thank you for this awesome content! I'm so happy to have found your channel! In practice what isometric exercises can we do for ankle, knee and hip ? but maybe you've covered this topic in another vidéo. And also does strengthening intrinsics foot muscles can improve sprinting and jumping performance ? (maybe by increasing arch stiffness ?) Thank you very much!

[@fcuvelier2830]

I've got my response about the exercises in your video about isometric training haha

[@vincevallefuoco1082]

As regard as these topics your channel is the best! Congrats.

Cheers 👍

It's of great quality. I have been looking exactly for something like this. Thank you.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Glad to hear it 👍

Eccentric loading...results in improved stiffness

[@petarmatijevic8701]

thanks a lot, is there any benefit in doing isometrics without pushing against an immovable object, or just holding. lighter load. For example, just holding a light kettlebell with your toes while being in a sprint position?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Good question. I have seen some coaches use lighter isometric holds for longer durations up to 60 seconds, but I dont really see the benefits. Ideally we want to build MAXIMUM isometric strength to maintain joint stiffness during ground contact. Ground contact at top speed involves very high forces, so I dont think lighter loads will build the necessary strength to transfer to sprint performance

[@petarmatijevic8701]

Flow High Performance ok thank you

[@ericfulgham9750]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 Do you think there is a benefit using longer iso's for tendon health paired with plyos to address elasticitiy?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Another great question. I don't know much about tendon health but from what I know isometrics provide an analgesic effect for athletes with tendon pain, but I'm not sure if it can actually assist in reducing injury risk. I use isometrics to enhance maximal isometric strength, and plyos to train stiffness is a more specific way. I think both training qualities are great, and if it reduced injury risk too then that's an additional bonus! But to answer your question, I have no idea if longer duration isometrics can reduce injury risk 🤷

[@McFlashh]

Flow High Performance is there anyway to do short maximum strength isometrics at home for the ankle?

[@sheahansutton5196]

Great job. Can I use it to plan a yearly program for a 60 to 100m athlete

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes definitely 👍

[@JLFwoo]

Excellent.

Can u show a training plan for baseball

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Maybe at some point 👍

[@mkramos07]

Can you make more videos for combat sports like Taekwondo and MMA?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Most of my content is focussed on hypertrophy and body composition at the moment. I make make some more videos on combat Sports at some point in the future 👍

[@ldarkilluminati6476]

Are these methods can be applied to hockey players as well? What do you suggest for them ?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, they can 👍

[@coachbsportsperformancecoa945]

What about the effectiveness of Isokinetic strength training? I my opinion ISOKINETIC strength training is superior to all forms of strength to develop speed and force in short periods of time.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Do you have isokinetic equipment?

[@coachbsportsperformancecoa945]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 yes I do

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

That is very rare. Most people don't have access to isokinetic equipment 👍

[@coachbsportsperformancecoa945]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 correct went throw hell and hot water to find it. Not eccentric loading = zero soreness, all concentric at high rates of speed.

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, I haven't looked into the unique effects of isokinetic training, but it definitely a rare form of training 👍

[@jadrankapavicevic5500]

When is the best time to perform this program for the field sport (soccer)? Off season?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Speed training should be performed all year

[@vincevallefuoco1082]

What about backward running? How Can it be used?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

It won't have any transfer to sprint performance

How many weeks can it be done

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

1-3x / week

[@varunghosh2384]

Won't they fatigue or experience DOMS after each session?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Yes, but that is inevitable

[@somebody3158]

10 min rest after a single 100 meter run seems excessive

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

It's probably necessary to ensure maximal recovery. Doesn't mean that you need to rest that long in practice 👍

[@jamesthompson4692]

Bruh it’s maximum not maximal

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

Sorry bruh

[@onyxstone4618]

Thats alot of CNS getting fried on that schedule. Wheres your rest days?

[@FlowHighPerformance1]

I didn't realise the calendar week was only 4 days...

[@onyxstone4618]

@@FlowHighPerformance1 Do you not consider the CNS condition in your program? There is alot of CNS output here, will this not slow the athlete due to fatigue?
