The Science of Anthropometrics and Sprinting
Anthropometrics do not determine whether an athlete can sprint fast, but they shape how each athlete creates speed. This post explains how height, limb length, torso proportions, body mass, and stiffness influence acceleration, max velocity, stride length, stride frequency, and sprint technique. Learn how to use body structure as a coaching map instead of forcing every sprinter into the same model.
