Ankle weights = better footspeed ?

[Danny_123]

Thinking about buying and using some ankle weights, they only weigh 1kg each, but i was gonna use them for running, skipping, sparring, bag work etc.
Basically want to know if you think it will help my footspeed or do you think i'll just end up injured...

lifting anything does not help with speed....it just helps on lifting
ankle weights does not equal speed

It will give your legs more strength which means they tire later and you are able to do more. Better stamina and power.
