20 Yard Dash
Bodyweight Strength - The 20 Yard Dash is an acceleration exercise that requires no equipment and increases bodyweight strength, speed, explosiveness, and rapid coordination of all of the muscles in the entire body. There are many distances in sprinting but the shorter distances are the sprints that are most applicable to athletes that need rapid explosion and acceleration over a short distance in their particular sport.
For this reason, the 20 yard dash is an excellent exercise for many football players such as linebackers, running backs, linemen, etc. Very rarely does a football player need to run more than 10-30 yards at a time so the 20 yard dash is an excellent acceleration training tool for these athletes. Any athlete who requires maximum sprint acceleration ability will benefit greatly from these short sprints.
