An essential physical strength for a sprinter is explosive power. This involves rapid acceleration and quick force generation, enabling athletes to achieve maximum speed in short bursts. Sprinters typically train their leg muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves, through strength training and plyometrics. Developing peak muscle function and minimizing reaction time are crucial components of a sprinter's preparation. Additionally, core stability and overall conditioning support the sprinter's effectiveness during races.
