The ability to perform rapid speed and agility maneuvers within an ever-changing chaotic environment are great in sport. Such movement skills place large biomechanical and neuromuscular demands upon the body, all of which can be enhanced via the implementation of effective speed and agility training.
Therefore, the aim of this short course is provide performance coaches with a greater understanding of the biomechanical and neuromuscular demands of acceleration, maximal running velocity, deceleration and change of direction performance, and how each of these vital performance qualities can be improved using an evidence-based multi-disciplinary approach.
