About
Gerald T. Mangine is a leading researcher in sports performance, with a focus on sprinting mechanics, resistance training, and athletic force development. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of how resisted sprinting enhances explosive power and corrects movement asymmetries in athletes. A key contribution is his 2017 study demonstrating that a single resisted sprint can acutely improve the rate of force development during a 20-meter sprint, a finding with direct applications for warm-up protocols in team sports. His 2020 research on rugby players further revealed that increasing resisted sprinting load reduces bilateral asymmetry in sprinting kinetics, offering a practical method for injury prevention and performance symmetry. Mangine has also explored the limited relationships between sprinting, broad jump, and vertical jump kinetics in elite collegiate football athletes, challenging assumptions about transferability between these tests. With over 47 citations across his most influential papers, his work is widely referenced by strength and conditioning professionals. Mangine’s research bridges biomechanics and applied practice, making him a vital voice in optimizing athletic training and rehabilitation.
