Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The A and B drills are commonly used by sprinters as part of training. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics of the A and B drills to sprinting. Eight university level sprinters were recruited to participate in the study. The participants completed the A and B drills as fast and as technically perfectly as possible, followed by two 60 metre runs at maximum speed. While performing the drills and sprinting, the participants were videotaped from the frontal and sagittal views. These videotapes were then used for a kinematic comparison of the drills and sprinting, based on select variables associated with sprint performance. There were significant differences in vertical displacement, vertical velocity, step frequency, support time, non-support time, shoulder range of motion (ROM), elbow flexion angular velocity (AV), trunk flexion, trunk rotation, pelvic rotation, hip flexion, hip extension AV, knee extension AV, ankle ROM, plantarflexion AV, and dorsiflexion AV. There were no significant differences in shoulder extension AV, elbow ROM, elbow extension AV, hip flexion AV, knee ROM, and knee flexion AV. Differences among the three skills were seen in the timing of peak angular velocity at the shoulder, hip, and knee. Differences among the three skills were also seen in the angle at which peak angular velocity occurred in the shoulder and ankle joint range of motion. It was concluded that the kinematics in the A and B drills were not the same as sprinting. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Download or read book Strength and Conditioning written by John Cissik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-09-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strength and Conditioning offers a concise but comprehensive overview of training for athletic performance. Introducing essential theory and practical techniques in all of the core areas of athletic training, the book clearly demonstrates how to apply fundamental principles in putting together effective real-world training programs. While some established textbooks rely on established but untested conventional wisdom, this book encourages students and professionals to think critically about their work and to adopt an evidence-based approach. It is the only introductory strength and conditioning textbook to properly explain the inter-dependence of aspects of training such as needs analysis, assessment, injury, competition level, athlete age and program design, and the only book to fully explain how those aspects should be integrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running barefoot isn't as natural as we're led to believe. Recent studies have shown that up to 85% of runners get injured every year, how natural is that? The most important question that running "barefoot" or "naturally" doesn't address is how we should run. Repetitive ground impact forces are at the root of most running injuries. A 30 minute jog can log more than 5,000 foot strikes; its because of this volume of movement that efficient
Download or read book Biomechanics of Training and Testing written by Jean-Benoit Morin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an account of innovative methods and, for most of them, gives direct and practical insights into how practitioners can benefit from their use in their everyday practice. It also explains how to interpret the data measured, and the underlying neuromechanical and biomechanical factors related to sports performance. Written and edited by the same researchers who proposed and validated these methods, this book not only presents innovative methods for an efficient training and testing process (most of which are based on very simple technology and data processing methods), but also discusses the associated background information. Although it is a young scientific discipline, sport biomechanics has taken on an important role in routine sports training, medicine and rehabilitation. It allows both a better understanding of human locomotion and performance and better design of training and injury prevention. In those processes, the testing of athletes is crucial, and the quality and quantity of the variables analysed directly influences the efficiency of physicians’, coaches’, physiotherapists’ and other practitioners’ interventions.
