Implementing resisted and unresisted sprint training across multiple sports : practical guidelines and considerations

Given the critical importance of sprinting, particularly its role in performance enhancement (e.g., acceleration capacity and maximal sprint speed during decisive actions) and injury prevention (e.g., hamstring protection), this article provides an up-to-date, informed perspective on the topic. To i...

To improve sprint performance, coaches and practitioners commonly employ a variety of training strategies, including “unresisted sprint training” (UST; i.e., a primary training method that directly replicates sprinting technique, such as a traditional sprint effort) and “resisted sprint training” (RST; i.e., a secondary training method involving, for example, sprint drills executed with added resistance, thereby modifying sprinting technique).
