Increased flexibility in the hips and ankles helps to increase your stride length. Higher leg strength correlates to quicker sprinting.

Technique

2.	Have your partner toss the ball directly to your chest area.
3.	Catch the medicine ball and let its weight push you back. Once your back reaches the floor, sit back up, tossing the medicine ball to your partner.
