Parachutes arent good for speed training, infact they are very bad.
Hills are great regardless of incline degree.
Sleds are good ONLY at 10% of body weight resistance, no more at all.
Weighted vests only good at 10% of body weight.
Ankle weights or wrist weights are useless and non sense, you dont pull in a sprint, you push.
Other resisted sprints vary, but heavy resistance on with belt and a band also arent necessary, all depends on ground contact time.
My choice of resistance work would be uphill sprints and sleds at 10% of body weight, so if you're 150 pounds, only pull 15 pounds max.
Anything else is either used to make money and most of the time bad for sprint biomechanics.
So next time you're doing heavy sled pulls, know what you are doing and that is good for strength, bad for speed.
