Asa Lionel 🇱🇨 on Instagram: "A crucial area for success in acceleration but often ignored is the behavior of the arms and development of upper body strength. 🍎Arm action can contribute to the force an athlete applies to the track. Arm movement help stabilizes the body in motion. 🍎As you move your arms explosively, the neurological signals sent to the arms also spill-over to the legs. ✅The more forceful and explosive the arm drive, the more forceful and explosive leg drive will be. 🍎All leg movement happens in an coordinated effort with the arms. lts this coordinated movement that is the key to efficient sprinting and its through range and force that the two coordinate. 🍎A queue to remember is the Arms lead the legs into range of motion, force and speed. As well as contribute to stability and propulsion. 🍎Coordination between the arms and legs can give a runner a mechanical advantage over their competitors. ~Learning Speed intelligently 🍎The correct Arm Stroke🍎: ✅ The elbow extends on the downstroke. This helps increase the force applied to the ground by the opposite leg. ✅ As the arm passes the hip the elbows begin to flex. It goes backwards and upward (lead with the elbow). The elbow finishes around a 90-degree angle, visible at the back of the body. The forearm is directed down to the ground. ✅ On the upstroke the elbow joint is flexed. Closing the elbow makes it easier to bring the arm forward at the same or faster velocity to prepare the arm for the next down stroke." 39K likes, 163 comments - a_luciantrackstar.lionelDecember 23, 2022 on : "A crucial area for success in acceleration but often ignored is the behavior of the arms and development of upper body strength. 🍎Arm action can contribute to the force an athlete applies to the track.

Some links below for deep stretches that can be quite effective for you. Highly suggest you explore these and also do at least a few of these every day before, during and/or after practice and meets to help prevent injuries. Taking care of your body/muscles will enhance your performance and season.

Most areas that need attention are: hamstrings, quads, hip flexors (huge area with many stretches), calves. Keeping these areas healthy will help prevent back issues as well.
