Chris Korfist - The Rate

Description

In this session, Chris Korfist revisits stride length versus frequency, exploring their roles in running speed and athletic performance. He delves into the evolution of research from the 1980s and 90s, which initially linked strength training to speed improvement, and examines why these findings might not fully capture the complexities of stride mechanics.

Chris highlights recent advancements in understanding how rate and frequency impact running efficiency, focusing on muscle activation, timing, and the interplay between vertical force and limb velocity. By discussing concepts like "scissors" versus "switch" movements, he provides insights into optimizing stride mechanics for maximum performance. Learn how cutting-edge research and practical applications can enhance speed training and reduce compensatory patterns in athletes.
