Speed Agility & Quickness
Speed Agility & Quickness
Speed, agility and quickness are qualities that all athletes work very hard to maximize. By definition, running speed is the interaction of stride frequency and stride length. Stride frequency is how fast one can move the legs back and forth while running. Stride length is related to body height and leg length, making it unique for each individual, and is also determined by the force generated when the foot comes in contact with the ground.
Agility (the ability to explosively brake, change direction, and excelerate again) is often more important than simply achieving and maintaining high velocity. Agility and quickness are determined by one's ability to stop and change direction, while maintaining balance and velocity. Many athletes and coaches underestimate the strength and skill needed to make rapid stops and changes in direction.
