Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a 100 meter sprinter, the athlete's primary goal is to improve their speed and power in short bursts. Therefore, maximal velocity training, which focuses on improving the athlete's ability to move quickly, should be prioritized over other modes of exercise such as hypertrophy training or cardio-vascular training. Swimming, while a great form of exercise, is not as specific to the demands of sprinting as maximal velocity training.
