RORunning Tips bounding tutorial
✅Bounds are a simple exercise to help sprinters increase their force and improve their endurance to get faster times.
✅One major factor that distinguishes good sprinters from great sprinters is their ability to go from zero meters per second to top speed extremely quickly.
✅This requires explosive muscle output at the start of a race. As the runner accelerates, they must be able to increase their turnover rapidly to achieve top speed.
✅Bounds are an exercise that helps athletes generate explosive force and experience how this force translates into speed.
🫡Bent Leg Bounds
Bent Leg (BL) Bounds look like an exaggerated stride with a greater knee drive. These bounds are done by driving the knee, while keeping the hips relatively horizontal. When switching legs, quickly drive the knee of the other leg forward.
Like SL bounds, the torso should remain upright and arms will be swinging to help generate power. BL bounds activate the hamstrings, glutes, and quads.
