I am a sprinter and next season I am goin to play football, baskeball, and run track. Does the weight lifting from football affect my track? I am improving in the 100m. Does that bulk help?

    My main concern about combining the sports is if you suffer an injury to the knee in football or basketball, you can kiss track season goodbye. unsociable bastard

    Yeah, it would. In football, you need a lot more upper body strength and it may that may work against your ability to run. John Doe

    for sprinters, yes it helps. because you use your upper body a lot more than long distance, and sprinters legs have to be more bulky. Claire
