I used to run track but now have shifted my focus to basketball. I have felt that my basketball mobility improved the most using 30m flying sprints as opposed to accelerations. I think that max speed runs are much more plyometric than starts even though they don’t generate the same muscular power. I feel that strength should come from weights and the ability to display muscular strength quickly can come from the sport itself. The only reason I can think of to do accelerations instead of max velocity sprints would be if the CNS demand was perhaps too great given the other elements in the training program. Anybody else have an opinion on this?
