Quickness
To enable weight-loss clients to perform SAQ exercises at a high intensity in a variety of movements, what can fitness professionals create? Steady-state treadmill workouts Long continuous runs Small circuits Heart rate cardio

Why are proper frontside mechanics in sprinting important? - Frontside mechanics align the lead leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. - Frontside mechanics align the rear leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. - Triple extension involved in frontside mechanics is essential to keep the pelvis in a neutral position and facilitate force production. - Frontside mechanics are associated with a stronger push phase, including hip-knee extension, gluteal contraction, and backside arm drive.
