Heavy or light sled work?
KEY FINDINGS (Xu et al., 2025)
•Very heavy loads (≥80% BM or ≥50% vdec) >>> light loads for sprint performance
•Threshold: >20.7% BM needed to beat unresisted sprints
•Light loads? Same as regular sprints for performance

The best effects were seen when the primer was performed within 8 hours of the sprint task. When the interval was longer than 20 hours, the effect was no longer significant.
Heavy lifts, jumps, resisted sprints, or short sprint

Sprints, sleds, jumps, bounds, throws.
Push, pull, squat, hinge.

The majority of coaches use plyos for one reason…speed development.
Hurdle jumps. Drop jumps. Bounding. Prescribed from the first week of the annual plan, not just pre-competition.

I train kids from every sport imaginable.
They all train as “athletes”
If a 7-14 year old gets more athletic - they’ll get better at their sport.
