10 kwi 2017 · speed is a key aspect of youth physical development programs and commonly assessed during talent identification testing protocols, yet, little is understood about the factors that underpin the natural development of maximal speed throughout childhood and adolescence.
This study will determine the effects that different speed training protocols (free sprinting, weights, plyometrics, and resisted sprinting) have upon sprint acceleration kinematics, strength, and power in field sport athletes.
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.
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
With Developing Speed, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) has created the definitive resource for developing speed training programs that optimize athletic performance. Including assessments and the application of speed training to eight specific sports, this authoritative guide provides all the tools needed for ...
Testing within strength and condition-ing should be simple. Fundamentally, important physiological qualities should be assessed (e.g., speed or strength) and testing protocols should be completed consistently across time.
29 wrz 2017 · Those seeking to train speed ability should: 1) Ensure the athletes possess a base level of strength and force production capabilities to be able to sprint effectively. If not, then a greater...
