Plyometric training has been reported to succeed at improving speed for athletes who are prepubescent ( 22 ), circumpubescent ( 30 ), and fully mature ( 36 ). Strength training has also been demonstrated to transfer to speed gains in prepubescent ( 17 ), circumpubescent ( 8 ), and postpubescent ( 9) athletes.
29 lut 2024 · Making athletes faster can be a daunting project for strength & conditioning coaches or physical therapists looking for scientifically proven speed development methods to integrate into a thorough athletic development program or return to performance protocols.
Linear speed tests such as acceleration for distances of the first 10-30m and max velocity tests of of the same distances near the athlete’s top speed, are excellent tools, provided they are done with logical interpretation. Speed endurance tests such the popular 150m sprint or longer, are excellent measures
Free sprint training has been shown to increase running velocity over short distances (i.e., 15–20 m) (22,25,37), vertical power as measured by a countermovement jump (CMJ) (25,37), horizontal power as measured by a standing long jump (25), and a 5-bound test (5BT) (37).
10 kwi 2017 · Combined horizontal and vertical plyometrics have been shown to elicit the greatest enhancement in sprint performance in 11-year-old soccer players (∼pre-PHV) over a 6-week training period and therefore may be deemed a suitable stimulus to enhance power development during sprint performance in boys.
29 lut 2024 · Speed development: How it can be a game-changer. Running with the right technique is vital for athletes and, with the correct mechanics, they can maximise their speed and ability to perform sport-specific actions.
Dose–response relationships for key training parameters indicate that youth coaches should primarily implement resistance training programmes with fewer repetitions and higher intensities to improve physical performance measures of youth athletes.
