In the world of professional and semi-professional football I always think that’s it’s dangerous to continually expose our athletes to high-speed running without truly understanding exactly how they move and generate such forces.
As an example poor front side mechanics such as over striding is likely to lead to some form of hamstring injury.
On the other hand poor back side mechanics such as under recovering is likely to create issues such as osteitis p***s - a very common issue among footballers.
High-speed running is extremely important but I think that delving deeper and gaining a greater awareness of how the players we work with carry out such a task is likely to lead to greater athletic outcomes.
