force x velocity = power

I suggest you the italian movie:
"I ragazzi di via Panisperna"..i don't think you can find it "translated" in english.
At Rome university, physics Faculty (which was in Panisperna way),was studying when Enrico Fermi was a professor, a very brilliant group of students(Segrè,Pontecorvo,Majorana,Amaldi...).
Great movie.Majorana was incredible.The same Fermi was using to say he knew in his life many intelligent and incredible scientists,but only a genius (Majorana).
If you have time i suggest you to read about his very fascinating story.

The power equation might also be interpreted as follows :

Power = Force x Distance (divided by) Time

Where Force: is the Strength of muscle(s) contracting;
Distance: is the biomechanical range (of joint movement evolving into Stride Length (the range through which the strength impulse is applied);
Time: is the rate of application of the forces expressed (through the full range of movement, eg, one stride).

So to view training like this, I am gonna try to apply to this to the skeleton start, for those who are not familiar with it you are hunched over and 1 hand on the sled with minimal knee drive due to position. (see attached pic) this is just a random pic of a guys doign a start looks decent but you can see the limited ROM of knee drive the start is basicaly an accelleration.

now obviosuly attempting to lengthen stride length is important but what about the decrease in ROM how can 1 adjust training for this or is there anythign you would do specificaly do develop more explosiveness for this type of push?

I will have to look into it. I hope i can find a translated version though. I am have had enough trouble learning french to not want to repeat the experience with Italian.
