these two things are most important in developing speed

impulse

RFD

17
Q

strength training enhances the rate and amplitude of impulses being sent from the NS to the target muscle

A

neural drive

18
Q

indicative of an increase in the rate at which action potentials occur, and are related to increases in both muscular force production and the RFD production

A

neural drive

19
Q

this exploits two phenomena: intrinsic muscle-tendon behavior and force and length reflex feedback to the NS

A

SSC

20
Q

acutely, SSC actions do this

A

increase mechanical efficiency and impulse via elastic energy recovery

21
Q

chronically SSS actions do this

A

upregulate muscle stiffness and enhance neuromuscular activation

22
Q

training activities aimed at improving SSC performance should fulfill two criteria

A

involve skillful, multijoint movements that transmit force through the kinetic chance and exploit elastic-reflexive mechanism
should be structured around brief work bouts or clusters separated by frequent rest pauses

23
Q

in order to manage fatigue and emphasize work quality and technique SSC training should

A

be structured around brief work bouts or clusters separated by frequent rest pauses

24
Q

training in which alternating SSC tasks with heavy resistance exercises within the same training session enhances their working effect

A

complex training

25
Q

the basis for the acute aftereffect phenomenon of complex training

A

postactivation potentiation

26
Q

this may be related to an increase in the sensitivity of associated muscle spindles

A

pre-tension caused by the preactivation of the trained musculature used in the activity

27
Q

mathematical model that depicts sprinting as a type of human locomotion in which the displacement of a body mass is the aftereffect from energy produced and is delivered through the collective coiling and extention of spring-like actions withing the muscle architecture

A

spring-mass model (SMM)

28
Q

in enhance speed S&C coaches should emphasize an exercise prescription that have been shown to increase this, and also do this

increase neural drive

overloading musculature of the hip and knee regions involved in the SSC

29

31
Q

two factors that go into improving sprint speed

A

stride length

stride frequency

32
Q

This is the biggest difference in eliete and novice sprinters
