Despite a voluminous body of research devoted to sprint training, our understanding of the
training process leading to a world-class sprint performance is limited. The objective of this …

Despite an increasing amount of research devoted to middle-distance training (herein the
800 and 1500 m events), information regarding the training methodologies of world-class …

This study aimed (i) to explore the relationship between vertical (jumping) and horizontal
(sprinting) force–velocity–power (FVP) mechanical profiles in a large range of sports and …

We aimed to clarify the mechanical determinants of sprinting performance during
acceleration and maximal speed phases of a single sprint, using ground reaction forces …

Measuring the ground reaction forces (GRF) underlying sprint acceleration is important to
understanding the performance of such a common task. Until recently direct measurements …

Purpose The main aim of this investigation was to quantify differences in sprint mechanical
variables across sports and within each sport. Secondary aims were to quantify sex …

The current review summarizes scientific knowledge concerning sex differences in world-
record performance and the influence of sport discipline and competition duration. In …

The aim was to determine the respective influences of sprinting maximal power output () and
mechanical Force‐velocity (F‐v) profile (ie, ratio between horizontal force production …

The capacity to rapidly generate and apply a great amount of force seems to play a key role
in sprint running. However, it has recently been shown that, for sprinters, the technical ability …

In this review, we examine the literature in light of the mechanical principles that govern
linear accelerated running. While the scientific literature concerning sprint mechanics is …
