When you improve your SPEED you improve your Game. Some sports demand straight running speed while others require swift motion from side to side, fleeting backwards motion, or explosive movement up and down. Still others put a premium on quickness or response.
|
No matter what sport you play, powerful speed and agility will give you the winning edge!
The Acceleration Program is our core program designed to increase an athletes speed, quickness, agility, strength and endurance. Each session begins with a dynamic warm-up and incorporates: |
|
| • |
Incline running, forward and backward on our patented
Super Treadmill. |
| • |
SprintCord technology, designed to recruit the specific neuromusculature associated with sprinting. |
| • |
Plyomentrics, designed to improve the athletes power, quickness, coordination, core-stability and awareness of body position through multi-directional exercises. |
| • |
Strength training with our specially designed weight equipment and an individualized program, so the athlete can develop and increase their overall strength base. |
| • |
Sport-specific cord training can be incorporated to improve strength and flexibility of the upper extremities used in a particular sport. |

Increase Maximum Sprint Speed
Athletes will reach optimal speed by increasing the two components of speed: stride length and stride frequency. Stride length increases through improvements in strength and flexibility; stride frequency increases by the selective recruitment of neuromuscular pathways.
Increase Anaerobic Tolerance
By increasing lactate tolerance and lactate clearance capacity, athletes gain the ability to maintain maximum speed for a longer duration or for repeated bouts without decreasing speed. We have seen recovery times reduced by as much as 50 percent.
Improve Sprinting Biomechanics
Incline running on the treadmill allows specific development of the key factors associated with acceleration, optimizing both the training effect and the training area. Forward acceleration can only be developed from a certain point in your stride to toe off. That's why incline capabilities help each athlete learn and maintain knee drive, proper pelvic and trunk position, forceful contraction of the lower extremity, optimal stride length and properly coordinated upper extremity movement. Our high-speed treadmill also allows for specific neuromuscular recruitment and synaptic response.

Increased Aerobic Base For
Long Distance Running |
| |
|
|
New to the Acceleration Program are the distance running protocols for 800 to 1500 meter and 3k to 10k. These new protocols were designed to precisely train endurance runners with Frappier Acceleration Sports Training technology and to be as specific to race distance as possible. Endurance training needs to have an aerobic base and enhancement of this base should lead to greater success in long distance running. |
Increased Proprioception,
Improved Body Composition & Enhanced Self-Esteem
Gains in each of these areas come, directly or indirectly, from completing the Acceleration Program. And each, in turn, can contribute to an athlete’s gain in speed and overall success.
