Since strength is specific, then: strength training that develops horizontal force production with exercises that have an anteroposterior force vector (hip thrusts) will lead to superior gains in sprinting performance than strength training that develops vertical force production with exercises that have an axial force vector (squats).

So if different muscles are developed to a greater extent by common vertical (axial) exercises and by common horizontal (anteroposterior exercises), then this could lead to force - vector specificity.
