Individual-specific technical interventions were more effective in manipulating aspects of acceleration technique and performance compared with the traditional "one-size-fits-all" approach adopted by the control participants. This study provides a novel, evidence-based approach for applied practitioners working to individualize sprint-based practices to enhance acceleration performance.
