40 yard dash

@Charlie_Francis

The training effect of the flying sprints can be two fold:
1: The increased capacity for 40y by increased high speed distance tolerance (single and multiple), stretching the energy envelope just to the right of the event itself.
2: The increased capacity for 40y by increased speed, stretching the EE just to the left of the event itself.
While both can play a role, 2 will be far more important, especially for the big guys, because:
A: top speed occurs well within the 40y run itself, directly affecting the time, while backs may achieve top speed beyond the 40y mark therefor affecting performance indirectly.
B: Power will always predominate over SE with both groups but especially with the big guys.
So often the big guys are subjected to gassers which I find counter-productive.

This is what I was looking for, so a big/combo player will reach max speed within 40, but a skill player might not due to their better strength to body weight ratio, however, both athletes should try and accelerate for as long as possible and let physics based on power output and good technique (proper body angle progression) dictate when top speed is reached, correct?
