@myokinetix: Adding resistance can change how you train speed. ⚡ These athletes are using resistance bands during dynamic speed exercises, creating additional tension they have to overcome while maintaining fast, coordinated movement. But more resistance isn’t automatically better. The goal is to add enough load to challenge force production without completely changing the athlete’s movement mechanics. What this drill develops: • Acceleration strength • Lower-body power • Force production • Sprint coordination • Postural control • Explosive movement Resisted speed training increases the force demands of acceleration. When an athlete has to overcome additional resistance, the lower body must produce enough force to continue driving forward while the trunk and limbs coordinate the movement. For athletes in football, soccer, basketball, rugby, and other speed-based sports, acceleration often determines how quickly they can create separation, close space, or reach a position. Resisted drills can complement sprint training by challenging some of the physical qualities involved in producing explosive first steps. Choose resistance carefully. If the band causes excessive leaning, dramatically slower movement, or obvious changes in running mechanics, reduce the resistance. The resistance should challenge the movement, not completely change it. Would you add band resistance to your speed training? 👇 🎥 @pure.performance__ 📍 Myokinetix Performance & Rehab - East Hanover, NJ 📞 (973) 585-4990 #DrNattyReacts #Myokinetix #DrNatty #SpeedTraining #ResistedSprint #AccelerationTraining #AthleticPerformance #SprintTraining #ExplosivePower #SportsPerformance #AthleteDevelopment
