Exercise 2:
Resisted Sprints for Max Speed
Benefits of Performing Resisted Sprints
  • The Resisted Sprint is a Phenomenal speed training exercise. For the first 5 seconds Kemar is resisted on the spot. Here he is working on perfecting his sprinting technique.
  • ​As Kemar moves forward he must drive his feet into the ground powerfully to push him forward. This specifically conditions his glutes and hamstings .
  • This Resisted Sprints drill is performed by athletes from a range of sports to target and activate their fast twitch muscle fibres.
  • ​The glutes and hamstrings are strengthened by pushing off against the track and the quads and hip-flexors are being conditioned from the knee drive through the Speed Bands.
  • Once these muscles are firing correctly they can contract quicker which results in you applying more force into the ground pushing you forward at a faster rate.
  • ​Leeroy concentrates on drills that improve both speed and sprinting mechanics together at the one time and this is an excellent exercise that achieves both.
  • ​Have a look at Kemar Bailey Cole's technique and pay particular attention to his knee drive and arm mechanics.
