Do running chutes actually make you faster?

Question

im trying to get faster and i was thinking about buying a running chute but do they actually make you faster?

Answer 1

they can but just a little bit.

Answer 2

They really help you build endurance, especially for those windy track meets, and when your a distance runner.

They build a lot of muscles in your body, and muscles make you stronger, and strength makes you faster, so I would say, yeah, they make you faster!

Answer 3

If you acutally use them, yes...

Answer 4

Yeah it builds muscle and helps on your form.

Answer 5

i have one and it owrks if you use it. The time it works the best is in the wind.

Answer 6

Yes, they do

So does running hills and wind sprints

What these things do is create resistance, so that it's harder for you to run. Once you build up and doing these is easy, running flatly on a track feels a helluva lot easier! :]

Answer 7

They would be a part of your overall program.

You can use the chute during your plyometric exercises.

Lifting weights, doing plyometrics, running stadium bleachers or stairs will help your speed, along with improving your running form.
