How do you build sprinting speed?
468342
do variations of 4X40, 4X60 and 4X80 full-out. do rapid knee-lifts on-the-spot for about 30 seconds. football/rugby running is different from sprinting. also try reaction drills. check your running technique (eg knee lift)

Use ankle weights to let your legs moves faster. To get quicker, run backwards and set up cones and try to weave through them as fast as you can without hiting them, with a basketball. Last, you jog around a park or track to build up stamina.

speed drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills.\n\nspeed drills - you run a lot so you get used to the speed that your legs give you and you won't get tired easily in the game. run around the basketball court maybe minimum 5 times and your running speed will increase and gradually become easier for you. Oh and suicides are good too. (If you don't know what that is..its kinda complicated to explain because i've never explain it before...so you'll figure it out or look it up)\n\ndribbling drills (this may help you a lot) -  take the basketball, starting it in your strongest hand and dribble down the court without losing it until you reach the baseline at the other end. then pivet and crossover it to your opposite hand and repeat what you just did. you can also do that by dribbling with your strongest then crossovering it to your weakest around the b-ball court running or walking. \n\ncrossover drills - well, lets say your strongest hand is your right. start out dribbling to up diagonal right. take about three steps and then crossover to your left and go up diagonal left and take another three steps then crossover it to your right and continue the procedure. that'll help your crossover passes hopefully :]\n\npassing drills - just get a buddy and stand a distance away from them then either bounce pass, overhead pass, chest pass, and any other ways of passing to them. You can do that standing still at first. Then, you stand at the left or right side of the b-ball court and your friend stands at the left or right. then, if you or your friend has the ball, you begin running sideways down the court bounce passing it, chest passing it, overhead passing it, etc. all the way until you reach the end of the base line and do that again on your way back switching sides if you please.\n\nHope that helps! Sorry, i had to get that all from memory of the kind of practices/drills that I practice. :]

let me tell you one, if you are a hockey or football player, this works wonders..... First, go on a soccer (can be any track) track, and set a distance, for example, 100 meters, SPRINT there and stop. check the time(be sure to have a stop watch when doing this). Then multiply that time by 3 and that will be the time to rest. After start again and repeat the sequence until you have gone a mile. \nFor example: I want to run 50 meters sprint. I SPRINT there, and it took me lets say 6 seconds. I would rest for 18 (6x3) seconds, (while resting be sure to keep on walking),and Sprint again, i would do that for 20 x to get a mile. It really works fro athletes!!!!!!

Jogging doesn't improve your speed, it improves your endurance.  To improve your speed you need to have stuff like sprinting workouts.\n\nThis website is really helpful in helping you become faster\n\nhttp://www.preppublications.com/issues/2005/01/06.shtml\n\nHope it helps!

Chin ups -- Incredible for slapshots\n\nRunning -- What I do is sprint for 15 seconds, all out. Stop, walk back to where I was -- heart rate should be normal. I find this gives a much better work-out than jogging\n\nWork on your thigh muscles too, it's essential for thsoe bursts of speed you need.\n\nGood luck. Eat lots of carbs. And keep on trying, this game needs more female players.

Depending on your age, there are a number of things you can do:\nThere are special weight lifting programs, designed to help you with explosiveness.\nThere are tenis shoes with a special sole that only lets you support the tip of your feet on the ground.  They were advertised as one of the secrets behind the succes of the Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes.\nThere are 100 yards sprints, but I guees you´ve already know about those.\nAlso, look at what Ed Mcafrey of the Denver Broncos did with his equipment.  He tailored to help him be faster on the field.

well, a combination of things. 1st you must go to the work out and get more arm and leg muscle, 2nd build endurance and 3rd strenghten/ stretching of the psoads\nwork on strong and lean muscles in arms and legs\nrun long distance and as your doing it sprint then jog sprint jog (called fartliks)\nand stretch your psoads which are muscles that allow you to make you legs move quicker which makes turn over faster. Turn over is the action where your legs go back and forth. to strengthen psoads do high knees and karaoke and field sprints.

Do cardio. Try high intensity. It burns more fat and it is fast. Do it like this: first jog for about 2 mins of until u are warmed up. Then sprint as fast as u can for 1 min and then again go slow for another min. Keep doing this for about 20-25 mins and by the time you are done you should be extremely exhausted and out of breath. Your heart rate should go upto abt 80-85% of your max rate but dont keep counting that. Just make sure u cant talk when you are intensely doing it. IF u can talk that means your not doing it hard enough. And also cut abt 200-300 calories daily. Hope this helps!!

practice doing sprints everyday. Eat protien and build leg strength. Do lots of jumping.

In addition to what James said, I'd incorporate jump training.  Find (or build) something sturdy about 30" high.  Squat down, then jump on it.  Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.  When it gets easy, increase the height.  \n\nThere is a corrolation between vertical leap and quickness.  High concentration of fast twith muscles and lower weight will result in quicker running and quicker moves, both forward/backward and laterally.

Making yourself faster is tough. The best thing to do is to concentrate on quickness rather then long distances, build up your resperatory system so that you can move quicker. Try doing "turn" drills and when you do run sprints, which you will need to do, work on extending your stride, not matter how short or tall if you can use every inch of your leg length and move your legs faster, that will make you a faster runner

I've found that it works well to do about 100-yard sprints.  Take 15-30 second breaks in between, but don't stop in the middle just because you're tired.  Endurance is an important skill in sports.

Running or biking to build endurance and short sprints to build speed. If you go on the usta.com and click high performance there is a link to exercises to build speed. Also push ups and sit ups are great and just use your own body weight to build muscle.

Be consistant--train almost every day to gain your base. To get faster do hill repeats and speed training ie: intervals, tempo runs, fartleks, etc.

Every male soccer player who is serious about playing the sport should be able to run a mile and a half in 9 minutes or less.\n\nWith that in mind, a great way (probably the best way) to build speed would be run a mile on the track. I would like to note that I am a soccer player too, and have been all my life, and I also ran cross-country. We did this all the time in CC to build speed and endurance at the same time, both which are essential components in the game of soccer.\n\nAnyways, you should run a mile. The first 800, run at a normal pace, the third lap, jog at a relatively slow pace, and then on the fourth lap sprint the dang 400 with all you have left. Do about three-mile intervals of this each day and I guarantee you will see results, definitely.\n\nDon't expect too much of yourself at first. Most people I know can barely even run 2 miles without walking. Just do this as much as you can and you will gradually get better.

To be frank a strong lower leg in sprinting doesn't exactly help much. What is needed would be fast-twitch muscles within your legs and no matter how scrawny or bulky they might seem, as long as your body acquires these 'twitches' and you have a central nervous system that responds extremely quicky, you're probably cut out for sprinting.\n\nMainly if you notice, the hamstrings, gluteals and quadriceps are more loaded with power. Having an upper body that's big helps to stabilise the full motion of the running technique (fluidity) but otherwise it's the relaxing and the perfect execution of your sprinting motion that counts.
