Q

Training activities aimed at improving SSC performance should fulfill two criteria:

example:

A

They should involve skillful, multi-joint movements that transmit forces through the kinetic chain and exploit elastic mechanisms.

In order to manage fatigue and emphasize work quality and technique, they should be structured around brief work bouts or clusters separated by frequent rest breaks.

ex: trap bar deadlifts 4 x 5 @60% 1RM + 4x jump squats with assisted bands

Q

Sprinting can be thought of as a process where your body acts like a ______.
