Muscle Group Specific Strength
So what I mean by muscle strength and development of certain groups? This is what I mean. The human body functions most will follow the shape.
Charlie Francis used to describe with the phrase "what looks right flies right." In other words, a trained eye can see and tell how one was built with stunning accuracy how they will move before ever seeing them move.
Sometimes you find someone like KC Chiefs offensive cope with Willie Roaf who seems to defy all logic, but for the most part, "how to" move a person can be determined by just looking at the way they collect and their muscle development.

Extensor dominant movement = speed of the flame
OK, the expression of speed favors certain types of movement and it is a movement dominated by the hip extensors, hamstrings and glutes.
In order for the motion will be dominated by groups of the hip extensor muscles must be developed into an optimal form that allows the function to naturally follow.
Now, the problem is that as the power developed, muscle mass was also developed and as people begin to advance they reach a point where they can change the function due to changes in their shape.
How to "shape" depending on the individual response to training to build one. Some people have a lot of natural muscle cells in the posterior chain and slightly in front of the thigh. Some of its opposite.

Re: Muscle Group Specific Strength
Balance and build muscle does not make a whole lot of difference with respect to the vertical jump but for the development of that speed.
Someone with less-developed quadriceps and lack of hamstring and glute development will tend to become a runner's heel-to-foot and have trouble gliding, planting and down on the balls of their feet.
Top speed will suffer on this account. Even if the posterior chain is developed, to someone who has a great development of the quadriceps, they will still struggle with ideal movement patterns because their body will try to do things that benefit the powerful muscles.
