Explosive acceleration strides are great for developing concentric hip flexion power. They are also very important with the first step coming out of a change of direction where reactionary hip flexion is crucial. The speed and efficiency out of those first few steps on a change of direction are very important and this drill overloads that stimulus. You can also add a pulley or any type of resistance to this drill to intensify the entire system. We do this drill on linear speed days as it’s a great form of overall acceleration.
