Why Sprinting Is Important
Sprinting isn’t just a “leg” workout; it requires a full-body effort, taxing a well-developed energy system and pushing it to its limits. An increase in VO2 max is a hedge against aging.

The more you sprint, the better you get at delivering oxygen to your muscles, resulting in greater output.
