Ken Clark, PhD, Sprint Biomechanics

Thanks @kenclarkspeed @tylerjaynoble and @usatf

Had an awesome session of sprint biomechanics testing with Trayvon Bromell @iamtrayvonbromell and Tyler Noble @tylerjaynoble from USATF Sports Science yesterday on The TRACK at New Balance. The testing session included analysis of block starts, acceleration, and top speed mechanics. It was a great early season tune-up and very exciting to see what the rest of 2026 holds! #sprinting #speed #biomechanics #speedtraining #trackandfield

Great trip yesterday with USATF and PURE Athletics. Fun and productive day on the track with Tyler Noble, Lance Brauman, Noah Lyles, Jordan Anthony, and Jaylen Slade. @usatf @tylerjaynoble @lancebrauman @nojo18 @dareal.6ix @theofficialjslade #sprinting #speed #acceleration #maximumvelocity #topspeed #trackandfield #biomechanics #USATF #olympics #OLY

Philadelphia Sports Performance Clinic at UPenn on Friday June 5th, directed by Cory Walts @cory_walts and @penn_sportsperformance Great learning and networking opportunity, check it out!

Good PSAC Championships last weekend from the WCUTF sprint group @coachlilypl_ . Excited to see this group continue to develop in the next couple of years! @wcutf.xc @wcu_xctf_summer_camps @wcuathletics #sprinting #trackandfield #acceleration #topspeed #speedendurance

Had an awesome time working with the ON training group including sprinters Max Thomas @maxreixn and Samirah Moody @samirahmoody_ and coaches John Bolton @sharksathletics and Harrison Smith @gharrisonsmith . Much thanks to Kevin Quadrozzi for coordinating the session and the great people at UPenn (Sean D. and the T&F staff + Cory Walts @cory_walts ) for making it possible. The sprint biomechanics testing session included block starts, initial acceleration, transitional acceleration, and top speed. The athletes did a great job and it was a very productive session! Also special thanks to Dr. Larry Ryan for all of the incredible updates to the MoVE video analysis software and thanks to Chris Meng @christopherronaldmeng for the hard work behind the scenes. #sprinting #biomechanics #acceleration #topspeed #trackandfield

Awesome trip to the Cleveland Browns for a sprint mechanics in-service with the Sports Performance and Sports Medicine teams. Fun and productive time sharing ideas with the coaches and staff members and working with the players in action. Thanks to Dustin Nabhan and the entire organization for bringing me in! #speed #acceleration #topspeed #biomechanics #nfl

The Speed Science Institute is here. We created the Speed Science Institute to put verified research behind everything we build at USR. Today we’re excited to announce our two founding members: Executive Director: Peter Ruppe helped build Nike SPARQ, the athletic evaluation standard that defined the industry for over a decade. Executive Speed Scientist: Dr. Ken Clark holds more published research on max velocity and acceleration than anyone in the field right now. Swipe to hear from our Co-Founder @les7spellman , @kenclarkspeed , and Peter on what this means for coaches and athletes.

Was an amazing experience having @kenclarkspeed from @usatf on campus! 🏃 #WeAre | #PSUTF

Had an incredible day at NCC @nccrunninglions week with Dr. Ken Clark. Working alongside NCC Track & Field @nccrunninglions athletes Mark Roberts, Jaidyn Lacey, and pro elite sprinter Miles Lewis @milesperhour411 while my son Raffaele was there coaching and assisting, and my daughter Gena stopped by with my granddaughter, Rosie, it was one of those full circle moments you don’t forget. Back in 2020, I saw Ken was presenting in Pennsylvania. I didn’t overthink it, I grabbed my kids and went. Just showed up. There were only a handful of athletes, a few parents… and no coaches except me and my kids. After the session, I introduced myself. We talked speed, mechanics, everything. I stayed in touch. I asked questions. I showed up when I could. Fast forward, he’s helping my son prepare for a pro tryout. Fast forward again, he’s standing in our facility at NCC, working with my athletes. And I want to say this… I’m incredibly grateful for Ken, his kindness, his generosity with his knowledge, and the way he continues to give back to the sport. Coaches like that don’t just teach, they elevate everyone around them. He’s pushed me to stay curious, stay hungry, and keep leveling up so I can better serve my athletes. That’s how this works. ➡️ You lean into rooms where you’re not sure you belong. ➡️ You ask questions. ➡️ You stay curious. ➡️ You keep showing up. And over time… those moments compound. Lean in. That’s where growth lives. Level up. Always. 🎥 @altars.media #BPFITcoaching #SpeedTraining #TrackAndField #CoachingMatters #LevelUp NCCTrack SprintTraining WomenInCoaching KeepShowingUp

20k followers! Thanks to everyone for following along! It’s enjoyable to bring sprint biomechanics content to the sports performance community. Keep checking out my resources for more information for coaches, athletes, and parents. #sprinting #speed #biomechanics #acceleration #topspeed

@kenclarkspeed is leading the speed world in research and development of high level athletes... this is what he thinks is THE BEST warm up for speed. Have you been doing these? Neglecting them? Either way this video will hold some value to improving your training!
