CORRECT ANSWERS JUST RELEASED
Question: Programming intensity for acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔You want either high
or low intensity (charlie francis). Medium intensity is too moderate.
Question: 4 pillars of EXOS System - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Mindset, Nutrition, Movement,
Recovery
Question: Scalar vs Vector - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Scalar: A quantity that has magnitude but no
direction
Vector: A quantity that has magnitude and direction
Question: Where is the most important part of acceleration to develop? - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔The time between block clearance and the first three steps where they gain
velocity

Question: What are the 2 technical goals of acceleration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔1.
Synchronize explosive
arm and leg movement
through a "piston like" leg
action that maximizes a
low leg swing
2. Optimize the direction of
force in an effort to maximize
horizontal velocity
Question: What are the 2 force-velocity goals of acceleration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔1.
Generate as much horizontal force as possible in the
least amount of time while maximizing technique
2. Optimize the horizontal force that can be generated in
excess of the vertical force needed to overcome gravity
Question: How many contacts in 10 yard segments? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔0-10: 6
10-20: 4
, Page 3 of 124
20-30: 4
30-40: 3
Question: What are the three critical positions of acceleration? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔1. Start
2. Ankle cross
3. Toe off -> Contact
Question: What do you want for optimal ankle cross? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Body and shin to
be parallel because the vector of force drives the magnitude.
Low leg sweep/swing in first initial movement
Question: What do you want for optimal toe off to contact? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Swing foot
has angle of less than 90 degrees to prevent extending it too far, which would increase
hamstring tension and risk for injury (causes "pulling" instead of pushing).
Back leg isn't completely locked out so there is still some tension in the system.
Focus on driving knee straight forward as if to smash a plane of glass and it should be a distance
of about a yard from the BACK FOOT.

Question: Cues for posture, frontside, and backside mechanics - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Posture:
"Head to heel, hard as steel"
Frontside: "Knee drive as if you were going to break a plane of glass"
Backside: "Push the ground away"
Question: What are the 6 parts of an EXOS Eval - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Interview: Find their IT
Nutrition: Body comp & nutritional habits
Movement Quality: Movement Screen & Ortho Assessment
Strength/ Power Quality: Strength and power capacities
Speed Quality: Linear and Multi-directional
