Resisted Sled Training (RST) is a commonly used method of sprint specific training, however, there is a lack of uniformity on training guidelines and best practice. RST can be used as a mode of horizontal strength training to complement a well-rounded training program to enhance sprint performance. This presentation is aimed at providing valuable practical insight from evidence-based research to better equip coaches to assess, prescribe, and coach RST to enhance speed capability. This presentation will explore the utility of RST as a training modality to match the individual needs of the athlete and the demands of the desired sport.1 Introduction and Resume 3:36 2 Presentation Overview 1:47 3 Disclaimer 2:20 4 The Goal of this Presentation 0:34 5 Velocity Profiles 0:42 6 Sprint Specific Training Adaptation 0:44 7 Velocity Profiles and Force 1:46 8 Force During Acceleration Free 2:02 9 Young Athlete's Are Not Mini Adults 1:45 10 Vertical and Horizontal Strength Training 2:09 11 Important Questions 3:15 12 Evolution of Resisted Sled Training Research 2:09 13 Area's Requiring Further Exploration 1:39 14 Why and How Sled Pushing and Pulling 1:09 15 Pushing or Pulling 0:55 16 Plan 0:22 17 Sled Training as a Supplement 1:12 18 Load Velocity Profiling Free 1:21 19 Optimal Loading for Maximizing Power 3:33 20 Sled Push and Sled Pull Data 3:55 21 Prescribe Load Based on Speed BM Makes Sense 1:39 22 To Push or to Pull 0:57 23 Speed-Strength Study Case Free 2:05 24 Study Details 1:22 25 Coach Aspect 1:06 26 Improvements 2:00 27 Strength Summary 1:07 28 Resisted Sled Training App 6:09 29 Force-Velocity Curve 1:03 30 Good and Bad Idea 1:59 31 Sled Pushing 1:19 32 Sled Pushing on Track and Football 1:09 33 Maximal Speed - Sprinting 1:02 34 Strength Speed Free 1:34 35 Specific Use for Resisted Sled Training 2:30 36 Power Jumps 0:56 37 Power - Case Study 1:09 38 Speed Strength 0:58 39 Case Studies 1:30 40 Summary 1:13 41 Implementation - High, Moderate and Low Resources 3:50 42 Periodize Plan 2:53 43 Final Words 0:32 44 Discussion with Miche�l Cahill 1:24:00Dr. Miche�l Cahill works with select athletes across a broad range of sports from national level marathon runners to NFL athletes in which he guides them through multiple areas of their training such as sleep, recovery, and strength and conditioning.� He is currently the Vice President of Performance and Sports Science at Athlete Training + Health (ATH) and is responsible for the training philosophy within all locations in addition to overseeing the day to day integration of a multidisciplinary sports performance, medicine, and research team focusing on applied human performance collaborating with large hospitals.

�STIFFNESS� is the tenth course of an ambitious Feed the Cats Certification Program created by Tony Holler.� Feed the Cats is a revolutionary way of training, coaching, and teaching that values specificity, essentialism, performance, and love. After gaining a world-wide following in Track & Field, FTC has now gained a foothold in American football and lacrosse.� �STIFFNESS� was created by a guest presenter and international speed guru, Chris Korfist. One of the most important features of Feed the Cats is the world-wide network of coaches who have bought into the idea of prioritizing speed and explosiveness while de-empathizing conditioning, toughness, and high volume workouts. The focus on well-rested, happy, and healthy athletes is truly a departure from the grind of the traditional approach.� �STIFFNESS� gives the background needed for coaches to identify and correct the collapse that inhibits speed. Without stiffness, ground contact times are high and sprinters leak energy. Stiffness has nothing to do with flexibility.� More courses are on the way!

Muscle stiffness is an incredibly important part of performance and one of the BIGGEST reasons why intermediate athletes are not getting any faster. This course gives the background needed for coaches to identify and correct the collapse that inhibits speed. Without stiffness, ground contact times are high and sprinters leak energy.
