I was doing hill sprints and my hamstring popped, and it’s been over 8 months since. Still get nerve pain and the hamstring still isn’t 100 percent so to keep fit I just run the treadmill up hill and do some 1-5 min interval paced runs. I can’t sprint because it will damage it further. But it made me realise you have to warm up always with some jogging and build into the sprints
I think the hips move act the least isometrically during ground contact. Hip isometrics can still be beneficial, but I think ankle and knee isos are more effective 👍
Flow High Performance Plyometrics work the ankle and knee isometrically, so can I do just do high rep plyos instead of direct isometrics? And what do you think of wall sits for increasing isometric strength for the knee?
Yes, you can definitely just do plyos for sure. Wall sits probably aren't the best because you aren't exerting maximal forces using them. You want to push against something with maximal intent
Fellow Aussie here, amazing video and really helpful! I’m taking some of this information and implementing it into my training program. I’ve been losing weight this year and quickly became interested in 100m sprinting. If you have time, I’d love your input on my sprinting technique, I’m new to the sport but am eager to learn.
glad to hear you are enjoying the youtube videos! If you're interested in a video consultation, head over to the Flow High Performance website (link in description) and check out the online coaching or video consultation services 👍

Plyos help as well
Great video keep up the good work
I like your new channel logo
Why did you only say to do isometrics for the ankle and knee, but not the hips?

Flying sprints.
How long should full recovery be? 8minutes?
Yes, around 5-10 mins 👍
