What are suicides?

Question:

Could someone explain what a suicide exercise is. I had an ACL revision reconstruction 6.5 months ago. Some people have suggested I incorporate suicides into my fitness regime to help sprinting, pivoting and explosive power. They didnt explain the exercise very well though. Can anyone help? Thanks

Answers:
They have many different names -- I've also heard "doggies." But they are basically short wind sprints. Sprint 5 yards, touch ground, sprint back. Sprint 10 yards, touch ground, sprint back. Sprint 15 yards, touch ground, sprint back. Sprint 50 yards, touch ground, sprint back.

They suck, but they are good for explosive power and quickness.

huh....wat??Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.....thats all i can say....hope this may help in wateva....

JP's answer is right. My team and I do them for basketball practice or volleyball practice all the time, but we usually call them yo-yos. They're a lot of fun if you like running. You just run back and forth, each time running further than your starting point then running back to it.

They are also called lines.
