See below for a quick video on rate of force development.
Force output following a quick stretch (i.e. the stretch reflex) can be enhanced with INTENT and training.
INTENT to move quickly recruits high force motor units earlier and leads to faster rate of force development, both in the short-term and as a result of training.
INTENT matters.
Train with INTENT.
To your success,
