Kinematic and Kinetic Comparison of Sprint-Specific Exercises: Impact on Maximal Sprint Acceleration Training

). The ratio of force was lower or equal for the SSE compared to Sref. Despite large inter-individual variability, these SSEs seem useful to stimulate vertical force production, and not horizontal as hypothesised by coaches. These results suggest the importance of analysing the SSE used during training, from a force-velocity point of view, to better characterize their effectiveness.
