Will Doing Agilities Alone Make Me Faster?

Question

I'm not allowed to sprint for another 3 months, I can only do agilities on agility ladders. Will the agilities alone without the sprints still make me faster?

Answer 1

It's a possiblity, but I doubt it will make you that much faster. If you can't sprint, chances are you are injuried. If this is correct, then you should probably take it easy. Keep in shape but don't over do it. You can hurt yourself more and will have to sit on the sideline longer. My brother injuried his knee playing football. Exercise would keep the blood flowing through it. That made it heal faster. However, everytime he ran, he would re-injure his knee. So be very careful and do as your doctor has instructed. : )
