Do squats help in running?
Carpito J asked:
I hear from some people that they help in long distance running but not in sprinting. Some people claim that it is only done to trim fat and not help at running. i’d like to know what it improves in sport and excercise because i am training to become a royal marine commando.

They’ll help in both, you’ll get leg muscle which will increase your speed. But for long disance running its not all about leg strength but endurance. Run frequently to help gain endurance

Helps sprinting only, builds the explosiveness that is similar to what you do while sprinting

anything involving your legs helps with running, if you are a sprinter do heavier sets and more explosive, if you are a distance runner do lighter sets and explosive, light weights help build strength while heavey builds mucle and strength, distance runners need strength and sprinters need both.
