Abstract
Strengthening muscle is a critical aspect of injury resistance and training for performance gain, and as such, a wide variety of resistance training methods are available to the coach. Many of these training methods have been shown to enhance running performance, however, the influence of flywheel resistance training (FRT) is relatively unknown. FRT is known for a concentric force-time profile similar to ballistic movement and also for the eccentric overload the technology provides. Both these features could have positive adaptive effects for running performance. Initially some of the benefits of FRT as compared to traditional resistance training are discussed. With limited research in the area, what little is known is discussed and integrated into loading parameters and training guidelines for using this technology to improve running performance. Finally, some of the limitations and future research directions are detailed.
