Speed is the common skill in all these athletes!!

There is a common misconception that people are born with speed. But, speed is like intelligence; it’s invisible until it’s developed.

One of the challenges of individual athletes and coaches is to recognize that speed is a physical attribute and can be enhanced through proper preparation in any athlete at any age.

Traditional speed training focused on increasing an athlete’s muscle and power. The assumption was that the stronger the athlete the faster the athlete. Contemporary speed training programs now incorporate a number of components in developing and maximizing an athlete’s speed potential.

It’s now been proven that there are various aspects of training that contribute to enhanced speed or maximum velocity. So, what are the elements that generate maximum velocity and how do we enhance these factors?

Any type of speed training includes activities specific to developing an athlete’s reaction time, acceleration, and the stage of transition from acceleration to maximum speed. This latter stage focuses on training the athlete in a way that maximizes the athlete’s stride frequency and stride length.

All in all, working on:

general body conditioning;
strength and explosive power training; and
reprogramming the athlete’s motor muscle patterns to replicate the motions necessary for optimum speed, will achieve the results necessary for speed success.

General body conditioning gives the athlete the foundation to train and develop at a more efficient and intense level. Strength and explosive power create the force that increases the athlete’s ability for speed and acceleration. Repeated high quality exercises, once ingrained in the athlete, will send the athlete into ‘auto pilot’ when performing their specialized sport.

For the very best of these popular speed training techniques to help athletes reach new heights in their athletic achievements, call Speed Factory. Located at Iceland Arena in Mississauga, the Speed Factory program offers speed training to complement any specialized sport program from hockey, basketball, soccer and baseball to figure skating.
