Speed is the quickness of movement of a limb generated by the athletes ability to apply force and generate it with great frequency. (Force X Frequency=Speed) Maximizing stride length and stride frequency is mainly influenced by the athletes stability, mobility, strength and technique. Having good hamstring flexibility and hip mobility improves stride frequency (the ability to strike and recover) and s
