40 YARD SPEED TIPS
Speed Development
by Cameron C. Turner
- Sprinting form: Bio-mechanical studies have revealed that stride length is based on how far the hips move down a given surface with each step taken, not how big the a step is taken. In order to increase speed, an individual must develop and strengthen white fast twitch muscle fibers.
- The 40 yard dash is a very important measure of an athletes mobility and ability to be competitive in the sport of football. Athletes must be very explosive in order to effectively run a great 4o yard dash. Development of fast twitch white muscle fibers is necessary to achieve maximum explosion.
- Strength Training: Power Cleans, Snatches, Clean & Jerk, Push Press, and Squats
- Power/Explosion: Plyometrics - single leg hops over stairs, double leg hops stairs, and jump rope.
- Sprint work: 4 x 300m, 4 x 150m, 10 x 100m, 20 x 40 yard rolling starts, 10 x 30 yard rolling starts, 20 x 10 yard starts.
- Explode from starting position: First three steps within five yards.
- Drive phase: Head down running with hips in proper position for at least 15 yards.
- Turn over phase: Body in upright position with a slight lean sprinting and holding onto established momentum.
