Obviously, not everyone is built to run a 4.4 second 40 yard sprint, but there are quite a things you can consider to improve your speed.

#1. Fitness level and appropriate amount of fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. This can be accomplished with the appropriate training to build speed, typically through explosive anaerobic exercise.

#2. Training via functional movement of the entire body, and not isolating certain muscle areas. It might be tempting to simply train your legs, but overall strength throughout your entire body and core is essential in reaching maximum performance. This goes for training to dunk a Basketball all the way to improvement speed in a sprint.

An excellent resource is the book by Paul Chek, How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy!, gets into the details of the diet and movement needed to improve ahtleticism and speed properly.

There is so much complicated misinformation out there, it would be a great and inexpensive way to increase your knowledge and make the solid gains you want.
