““The combination of stride rate (the number of strides per unit of time) and stride length (the distance covered in a single stride) primarily determines linear speed. So, athletes can improve linear speed by increasing stride rate while maintaining stride length, increasing stride length while maintaining stride rate, or doing a combination of both.””
About This Quote
This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance. It is one reading of the quote, not the author's own explanation.
Linear speed depends on stride rate and length; athletes can improve speed by adjusting either or both while maintaining balance.
In simple terms: Speed comes from stride rate and length balance.
Key Takeaway
Train both stride rate and length for optimal speed.
