The Claim

Sprinting inherently trains muscle power by requiring the simultaneous production of high force and high velocity, which satisfies the biomechanical definition of power (force × velocity), and consequently improves explosive neuromuscular performance.

In plain English

Sprinting helps build explosive muscle power because it makes your muscles push hard and move fast at the same time—like a car accelerating quickly—and that combo naturally boosts your ability to explode into action.
