Synchronized triple extension of the ankle, knee, and hip are a description of which aspect of sprinting?
  1. Kinetic chain checkpoints
  2. Increased agility
  3. Backside mechanics
  4. Frontside mechanics
Explanation
Answer - C - Backside mechanics entail synchronized triple extension of the ankle, knee, and hip. Proper mechanics are associated with a stronger push phase when sprinting, along with hip-knee extension, gluteal contraction, and arm drive on the backside. Both frontside and backside mechanics are thought of as working in synchrony to drive the body forward in a powerful and efficient manner.
