In other words, it is hard for the brain to do
ballistic high force contractions.
Not exact matches
Therefore, many types of explosive or
ballistic training may well develop both rate of
force development and
high - velocity strength at the same time.
For developing the ability to produce
force at
high speeds, most coaches make use of
high - velocity,
ballistic exercises like jump squats and Olympic weightlifting derivatives.
In dynamic stretches, there are no «jerky» movements or bouncing, unlike in relatively
high injury risk
ballistic stretching where the aim is to
force a body part beyond its range of motion.
Since sprinting involves extremely short durations of time available for
force production, it seems likely that strength training focused on explosive, short duration contractions (like
ballistic training) will produce neural adaptations that increase
high velocity - specific strength, and which transfer well to sprinting performance.
