Overground sprint running has become a popular method of performance assessment over the past decade ( 17 , 18 , 35 , 36 ), partly due to the importance of speed in many athletic and sporting activities ( 12 , 19 ). Indeed, overground sprinting is commonly used within long-term athlete development

Association Between the Force–Velocity Profile and Performance Variables Obtained in Jumping and Sprinting in Elite Female Soccer Players
Ramón Marcote-Pequeño, Amador García-Ramos, Víctor Cuadrado-Peñafiel, Jorge M. González-Hernández, Miguel Ángel Gómez, and Pedro Jiménez-Reyes
The ability to perform soccer-related tasks at high velocities is believed to be a key factor for reaching success in soccer. 1 – 5 For instance, the straight sprint (45%) followed by vertical jumps (16%) have shown to be the 2 most frequent actions in goal situations during professional soccer

Sprint cross-country skiing involves repeated ∼3-minute high-intensity efforts separated by ∼15- to 120-minute recovery periods, starting with an individual qualifying time trial (TT) followed by 3 knock-out heats as the competition format progresses (quarterfinals [QF], semifinals [SF], and final
Sprint Running Performance and Technique Changes in Athletes During Periodized Training: An Elite Training Group Case Study
Ian N. Bezodis, David G. Kerwin, Stephen-Mark Cooper, and Aki I.T. Salo
There has been continued interest into the effect of step length and step frequency on sprint performance (velocity), specifically recently looking at the acceleration phase of the sprint. 1 – 3 Furthermore, research into the maximum velocity phase has been inconclusive in identifying the most
The Force–Velocity Profiling Concept for Sprint Running Is a Dead End
Gertjan Ettema
Over about the last 2 decades, the concept of force–velocity profiling has been developed and promoted with the aim of providing practitioners with an evaluation tool to individually guide and modify training for explosive movements, 1 including accelerated sprinting. 2 , 3 Without doubt, the
