In sprinting form makes function. What does this mean? It means that the sprint technique is highly dependent on the differences in muscular balance between agonist and antagonist muscles. Kelly Baggett distinguishes in his book “No-Bull Speed Development Manual” two types of runners based on the predominance of one muscle group or another, with its…

When performing a movement, the muscles of our body act in the form of kinetic chains. But what is a kinetic chain? We understand the kinetic chain as each part of the body (including muscles, joints and nerves), which is related together to produce a certain movement of the bones. There are several ways to…
