i think it's his ability to generate high ground reaction force combined with good hip joint flexibility with a stable core. Good knee lift should NOT be active! It should be a reflex as a result from rebounding through high striking forces. Doing it right should feel like the tighs come forward without any effort. It must be reflexive. Never force a fast movement. As soon as you do that you work against reflexes and work against yourself. Fast relaxation of the right muscles at the right time is key to achieve this motion.
@@Leonidas-eu9bb I agree. You should not try to force the legs to move a certain way. However I think you can affect the chain of muscels higher up in arms and torso
Thank you! The knee lift comes from a combination of correct timing of foot leaving ground and correct angle, paired with flexibility in the hamstrings and lateral tilt/posterior tilt of the pelvis.. Something that must be built and sustained while training.
@@Leonidas-eu9bb So you shouldn’t consciously lift your knees when running ? If so, that doesn’t really make sense to me it’s kind of like saying you shouldn’t consciously pump your arms when running .
I do recover. Got to maintain a healthy diet, hydration, massage and some other modalities. Wouldn't recommend until body is built up to sustain the output..
@@Performancelabofcalifornia 5 times is definitely overkill and would rather lead to diminishing returns. How can you still have high quality intensive sprints when doing more than 3 hard sprints a week.. What's your 100m time?
@@NineDiamontyou’re actually correct. Except one thing. I’ve run track since I was 5. I made the Olympic Trials semi finals in 100m I. 1996. I was always taught for sprinters, you have three phases of practice. 1. Is your conditioning/strength. You know your ,300,400,500 intervals. 2. You have your speed training. Which is however you do it, from 20 meters up to 150 meters. These are always timed practices, usually around.5 to 1 second more than what you would normally run in that event. Example, if your 100 time is 10.2, then you’re hitting your times anywhere between 10.7-11.0. Because these are working on phases and maintaining those long, relaxed muscles over and over for meets that have rounds. 3. Sprint training or specialty Day: these are one day a week where you run what you’re supposed, or close to to run in meets. Just twice. Usually only twice. 100 meter runners that run 10.2’s run this twice at 10.3 or better. 200 if you run 20.4, then you run two at 20.6 or better. Then after that you work on specialty full speed. Such as your starts, your acceleration phase, running turns, etc. all within a full recovery mode and in spikes.
Great video again sir
Thank you!
Usain has impressiv kneelift.
Is that because of posterior pelvic tilt?
Thanks for another great video!

What's difference when running with track shoes, recreational shoes and cleats
Why his leg straighten in the front is because of the tension in his hips
Yes strength in the hips..
Could u do nfl players?
Sprinting 4-5 times a week? How are you gonna get faster without recovering ?😭
