Sprint drills
[sprint drilz]
/spɹɪnt drɪlz/
Noun
High-intensity running exercises designed to improve speed, agility, and cardiovascular endurance by repeatedly performing short bursts of maximum effort sprints.
Sprint drills are short, intense running exercises designed to improve speed, power, and running economy. They enhance fast-twitch muscle fibers, neuromuscular coordination, and anaerobic capacity. Examples include hill sprints, interval sprints, and shuttle runs. These drills are crucial for runners to increase acceleration, improve overall pace, and reduce race times. By incorporating sprint drills into training, runners can boost their top-end speed and enhance their ability to maintain higher speeds over longer distances, making them essential for both sprinters and distance runners aiming to improve performance.
