Description
Resisted Sled Training (RST) is a commonly used method of sprint specific training, however, there is a lack of uniformity on training guidelines and best practice. RST can be used as a mode of horizontal strength training to complement a well-rounded training program to enhance sprint performance. This presentation is aimed at providing valuable practical insight from evidence-based research to better equip coaches to assess, prescribe, and coach RST to enhance speed capability. This presentation will explore the utility of RST as a training modality to match the individual needs of the athlete and the demands of the desired sport.
