One of the commonly debated topics of sports performance training is whether or not athletes should use resisted sprint training, such as sled pulls, in their training programs. Today we’ll look at a study that compared the effects of resisted and non-resisted acceleration sprint training in Rugby players. First we will go over the study and then talk a bit about the implications for us as athletes. If after this you’d like to learn more about resisted sprint training, I’d suggest you take a look at my video on this topic from a couple years ago.
