Since strength is specific, then: strength training performed with heavy loads should lead to greater gains in sprinting performance
than strength training performed with lighter loads (with the same bar speed).

Since increases in neural drive at short muscle lengths are likely driven by reductions in motor unit recruitment threshold (Pasquet et al. 2005), while increases in neural drive at faster velocities and during concentric contractions are primarily caused by increased rate coding (Pasquet et al. 2006; Harwood et al. 2011; Enoka & Duchateau, 2017), the transfer of neural drive from partial exercises using short muscle lengths could be lower
than we might expect, although this would probably depend on whether the
strength training exercise was
performed with a lighter load, and explosively.
