Optimal Force-Velocity Profile for Sprinting: Is It All Bollocks? – Part 4
By Mladen Jovanovic on 07/12/2022In the previous installment, I have demonstrated how to perform sensitivity/optimization analysis of the Acceleration-Velocity Profile (AVP) using (1) probing method and (2) slope method. In this installment I will explain how to do it using the Force-Velocity Profile (FVP).

Optimal Force-Velocity Profile for Sprinting: Is it all bollocks? – Part 3
By Mladen Jovanovic on 21/11/2022In the next two parts of this article series, I will explain how the optimization of the Force-Velocity Profile (FVP) works. Before jumping into FVP optimization, I will first explain the same reasoning using the Acceleration-Velocity Profile (AVP) since it is easier to comprehend.
