How Can I Increse My Explosiveness And Short Term Speed?

Question

What is the most efficient way to increse my explosive speed and speed over a short distance? Thank-you!

Answer 1

The three main exercises you need to focus on for power is:

1. Squats- this strengthens the quadriceps, which are the largest muscle in the body. And this muscle is responsible for propelling/thrusting.

2. Lunges- this strengthens the hamstrings, which is the counter-part to the quadricep. This muscle is used to get the leg back to position for the quads to propel you again.

3. Calf raises- this strengthens your calfs, which acts as a whiplash to provide more power to your legs. It is the last muscle used in running/jumping, so it is crucial that it is not neglected
