66. The Sprinting Physio

Physio, coach and athlete, Vas Krishnan joined us on the podcast today to talk all things sprinting! Vas has an extensive athletic and coaching background and understands the demands of sport and injuries associated with competition, he has a deep understanding of the patient and athlete experience trying to return to sport and high performance. We dived into the nitty gritty of what it takes to develop speed and power on the track and in the gym. Vas speaks on training drills, physiological demands and key components of a sprinters program. We discuss injury risk for sprinters compared to endurance athletes, exercise selection specificity, tissue tolerance and peak performance.
