SPRINTING & JUMPING | GROUND CONTACT AND FORCE APPLICATION

AT approx 3.20min I should have said in terms of ground contact times:
for the 20-40cm drop jump heights 130 milliseconds to 300milliseconds


It's all about understanding and using Ground Contact Time to inform our training in this week's video
VIDEO TIME-LINE

"The development of maximal muscular tension within a period of time."
Validity of reacting as quickly as possible - leg stiffness, neural development...
