Speed can be trained using a number of different techniques and training methods:
- training – This is an important method for improving aerobic endurance and the ability to perform repeated sprints by incorporating a suitable ratio between work and recovery periods to achieve the desired benefits.
- sprints – These involve a change of pace whereby the performer might jog for a set distance before accelerating into a sprint then decelerating into a jog. It is important that a specified distance is set out for each change of pace, in order to incorporate principles of overload for the next training session.
- sprints – These focus on the initiation of the sprint by training the explosive start needed to contribute to a good overall time. They can be performed by gradually increasing speed to the peak in order to reduce the risk of injury incurred by a sudden change of pace.
– These use air resistance to impede the performer's movement.
- – These are designed so that additional loads can be attached, allowing the performer to adjust the level of resistance by adding more weight.
- Resistance – Dragging these rubber rings utilises friction from the ground to provide the resistance.
- Resistance – These are elasticated strips or cords that come in different resistances, depending on the tension the athlete is able to overcome.
- ropes – These are similar to the above but are greater in length, allowing the performer to focus less on acceleration and more on speed.
