For athletes preparing for ⁦NFL Combine⁩ or ⁦NFL⁩ pro day, important to remember that in order to run a great 40-yard dash (36.6m), you must have fast Maximum Velocity! #nfl #sprinting #speed

Olympic hopeful Jordan Shead ran a PR 1.06 10m fly today (21.1 mph).

Michael Menaker ran a 10.54 100m fly today chasing Olympic hopeful Jordan Shead (11.03). Other metrics for Micheal (compliments of Christopher Meng) GCT 0.094 Stride Length 2.00m Stride Frequency 4.9 AVG V-Force 2.2x body weight

Proud to have played a role in this project! Excited to see what comes next!

Big day for Olympic hopeful Jordan Shead running 1.01 in the 10m fly (22.1 mph). Michael Menaker ran 0.99 (22.6 mph). Jordan finished the day with a 200m PR running 24.30.

Excited that the paper "Whip from the Hip: Thigh Angular Motion, Ground Contact Mechanics, and Running Speed" from my summer with Ken Clark, PhD recently got accepted! See article here: 📃: tinyurl.com/y4pzyjw5

JB Morin Joel Reinhardt spot on, hip/pelvis rotational is key! I first heard ‘Whip’ from Bosch but many great coaches (like Boo Schexnayder) use this phrase in various contexts. Our lab’s recent research further examined thigh angular motion & sprinting speed: bio.biologists.org/content/9/10/b…

excited as always to present at Holler-Korfist TFC!... Christopher Meng will be adding to the presentation with some practical applications from his recent experience

#AYearofBiO – Nov 2020 To round off our year of BiO, we have November’s most-read research: Ken Clark, PhD, Christopher Meng and David Stearne’s investigation examining running speed, thigh motion and vertical force determinants. Read it here: ow.ly/aIcT50CL3mZ

Today from Christopher Meng... @jordan_shead did the "Critical Zone Workout" this morning. 2x(200+200) 90 seconds rest and full recovery between sets. She was 23.15+26.00 and 24.86+27.25! Thats 49.15 and 52.11 ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Video below from last Sept shows Jordan hitting 22.1 mph.

Sprinting is the best and most underrated strength exercise in the world. Gravity pulls, you push. Once Christopher Meng calculated a sprinter I was training was putting 23.2 body weights into the ground PER SECOND. 😳

"To assist with this *finishing ability* to go along w/ his improvement in not externally rotating the foot as much, we added exercises (sprints & bounding complexes) w/ diagonal resistance." ➡️ Rob Assise w/ gait correction strategies via Christopher Meng ⤵️ simplifaster.com/articles/indiv…

Always thankful to be a part of such great work! Check out the results from our latest project below

Love seeing Chris Meng mentioned in an FTC article. Chris came out for track as a junior doing Baylor workouts and had mediocre results. As a senior we switched to FTC and he thrived (All-State, school record, County/Conf record, County/Conf/Sect champ) simplifaster.com/articles/feed-…

📄🚨 Sprint mechanics 👍 Thigh angular accel (hip flexor-extensors) is associated with sprint speed 🔬🏃‍♀️ Experimental evidence of "Switch legs" importance and simple field method by Ken Clark, PhD 👏 Next❔: homogeneous top-level group & training effect tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Those interested in limb velocities during sprinting can check out this publication. Here we investigated peak forward foot speed during swing, backward foot speed at touchdown (“negative foot speed”), & Ground Speed Difference. Will post video to explain findings in near future
