# First person – Daniel Lenthall

## TL;DR

This paper discusses how a 6-week training program affects lower-limb coordination and sprint performance.

## Contribution

The study bridges theoretical research with practical applications in sports training.

## Key findings

- A 6-week training intervention improved maximum velocity sprint performance.
- Lower-limb coordination patterns changed following the training program.

## Abstract

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Daniel Lenthall is first author on ‘
Lower-limb coordination changes following a 6-week training intervention that elicited enhancements to maximum velocity sprint performance’, published in BiO. Daniel is a Master's in Research student at Leeds Beckett University, and strength and conditioning coach in the lab of Mr Andreas Wallbaum at the University of Bath, Bath, UK, investigating research that bridges the gap between theory and practice, making a meaningful impact beyond academia.
