The Most Important Bodypart for Sprinting

In this video we look at the interaction between muscles and tendons when it comes to sprinting and examine the importance of the achilles tendon for sprinting speed

Bromell may have suffered the most amount of devastating injuries of any sprinter
I'm pretty sure he broke both of his knees as a kid as well

[@Pietro-kl4wg]

the fact that he managed to pull out some incrdible chronos after suffering multiple injuries indicates how hard he works and how strong he is mentally

[@TrackStar42]

IM DEALING WITH PAIN IN ALL OF THESE LOCATIONS AT ONCE WHAT ARE THE ODDS I STUMBLE ON THIS.
Either god is real or the universe knew i needed this.
Im 5"7 running 11.01 for my third 100m ever with no lift training and am tearing my body apart due to weakness. This really helped show exactly where is hurting so now I can get therapy for it all!! Thank you so much

[@forfucksakecomrade]

Do you plan on doing lifts for rehab?

[@alanparker3130]

Beautifully clear, detailed explanations, and I'm not even a sprinter...

[@maximuswhyte]

Good information

MOOSCLES!! lol! I love your goddamn accent!

[@Kuro87na]

Is there a way you can make a separate video about football, European football, and as well as the most important phycological part of the brain needed for sport, I don't know, just an idea. However, I would like if you did European football analysis as well, if you enjoy and watch it and that you want to make a separate series on it.

[@gladiatorscoops4907]

Really interesting video. I'm wondering what is the best thing to train and improve strength and flexibility in your achilles?

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

LOL. A tendon is rather strong/stiff or soft. You probably mean developing high level of elastic strength in the achilles/calf region.
The answer is probably train with moderate to high intensity, and moderate to high frequency (high volume) and don't get injured!
Elastic strength is best develped with frequent stimuli! ~3-5x week

[@JoeTodd6]

Is that the New Zealand sprinter in the thumbnail?

[@realpupper2743]

Do isometric holds increase ankle stiffness? And how long should I hold them?

[@Hensley_Jb]

20-30 seconds it depends on the workout. Not everything is concrete

[@ernestoglez6725]

5:05 Mark and Heather from GTN?

[@sebastiannoah3038]

No wonder why yohan Blake is finished, he had a grade 3 hamstring injury 😢

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

yes those so many forget what he really could do.
He was basically so good to challange and beat prime Bolt!

[@redravenrages6321]

Are tendons like muscles in the way that you can train them and get stronger?

[@gur262]

Kinda. To a degree. There's papers on it. But basically just lift heavy.

[@Hensley_Jb]

@@gur262not not just lift heavy…

[@Hensley_Jb]

Yes tendons can strengthen with plyometric and isometric holds. They are arguably more important than muscles in many ways. In my youth I made the mistake of just lifting heavy and created imbalances causing tendon tears

[@redravenrages6321]

@@Hensley_Jb Hear ya, brother. I’ll learn from you :).

[@mrnobody27208]

🥈 second

[@ZannieT]

I wonder if Bolt just naturally had some crazy tendon springyness

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

Bolt biggest skill was to train hard and smart to stay injury free.
Yes he had minor problems. But at the times when it counts he was in phenomenal shape. His tapering strategy was unique!

[@jadonplays1011]

First🤔

[@cadenlewis213]

is skinny a good build for sprinting

[@W4nnabe_C0leman]

Yes but you need to have good muscles to use the base

[@landanbullock9650]

develop good quads, shoulder, calves, core and youll be a great runner

[@B1gBossMan]

In short, yes.

[@trainspotting_by_andrea4023]

No you need strength all over your body

[@SamBendsHollings]

As long as ur athletic and strong. You can be slender or bulky and run fast.

IT band syndrome is something that still gives me nightmares about its return. I hated it
