Direct links to speed, and a real time marker for what happens when you put force into the ground.
Most people leak significant amounts of force into the ground, purely as their tissues (muscles , ligaments, tendons) are not conditioned to effectively manage the force demands.
What’s the most effective way to improve this attribute in the “untrained” athlete, or a mature athlete that’s only even done “general” gym based training?
Strength, and building lots of it in the primary movement patterns.
Then?
After elevating your maximum force output capacity, THEN focus on rate of force production.
Get your priorities right for speed and development of your capacity to be explosive as an athlete, which is the game changing attribute YOU really need to develop.
