As competitive as athletics are today at all levels, the one thing that distinguishes great athletes is speed. Speed is generated by a combination of force, drive, momentum, acceleration, stride length, stride frequency and muscle development & conditioning. Our keys to developing great speed is to optimize stride frequency with stride length while creating maximum horizontal force. The net result of these components is a player speed potential. The ability to jump and hang in the air is required for sports such as basketball, volleyball, track & field and football. The power for jumping is generated largely by the lower body muscles while the core and upper body muscles support the vertical lift driving force. Quickness can be the determining factor as to what level you can play a sport (high school, college, professional ... etc). As much as 30% of energy is generated by the lower legs for sprinting, jumping and overall body quickness. « less
