Ankle/Wrist Weights

I know they sell these for jogging, but can they be used to help with response for your sprinting? I'm having some issues with moving fast enough (up and down in the joints not to the finish line particularly) and my mom offered me the weights she uses while walking...

I wouldn't think that they would help. They would slot your movements down, and that wouldn't help with fast twitch muscle development. This would be excellent training for long distance, I just don't see it helping sprint.
