You may get more over all strength from squats than doing leg presses on a machine. Do leg curls on a machine. Also work out your calves with a bar & weights on your shoulders — up & down. They have all kinds of exercise machines in gyms. Any of them would help you gain strength in you legs and lower back. You can strap a ground level pulley cable onto your ankle and move your leg out. That movement mimics a leg when running. Join a gym and watch and learn. Good luck.
Squats and deadlift are exercises that will help with this explosiveness. Another great exercise is the power clean.
