CH.12 SPEED, AGILITY AND QUICKNESS TRAINING Flashcards
SIMILAR TO PLYOMTERIC (REACTIVE) TRAINING; INDIVIDUAL REACTS TO GROUND SURFACE IN SUCH A WAY THEY DEVELOP LARGER THAN NORMAL GROUND FORCES THAT CAN BE USED TO PROJECT BODY WITH GREATER VELOCITY OR SPEED OF MOVEMENT
SPEED, AGILITY, QUICKNESS (SAQ)
REFERS TO SPEED OR VELOCITY OF DISTANCE COVERED DIVIDED BY TIME (STRAIGHT AHEAD SPEED)
SPEED
SHORT BURSTS OF MOVEMENT THAT INVOLVE CHANGE OF MOVEMENT DIRECTION, CADENCE, OR SPEED
AGILITY
ABILITY TO REACT TO STIMULUS AND APPROPRIATELY CHANGE MOTION OF BODY
QUICKNESS
ALLOWS CLIENTS TO ENHANCE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, AND DYNAMICALLY STABILIZE ENTIRE BODY DURING HIGHER VELOCITY ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION MOVEMENTS IN ALL PLANES OF MOTIONS (RUNNING, CUTTING, CHANGING DIRECTION)
SAQ TRAINING
ABILITY TO MOVE BODY IN ONE INTENDED DIRECTION AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
SPEED
NUMBER OF STRIDES TAKEN IN A GIVEN AMOUNT OF TIME (OR DISTANCE)
STRIDE RATE
DISTANCE COVERED WITH EACH STRIDE
STRIDE LENGTH
PROPER ALIGNMENT OF LEAD LEG AND PELVIS DURING SPRINTING, WHICH INCLUDES ANKLE DORSIFLEXION, KNEE FLEXION, HIP FLEXION, AND NEUTRAL PELVIS
FRONTSIDE MECHANICS
PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE REAR LEG AND PELVIS DURING SPRINTING, WHICH INCLUDES ANKLE PLANTARFLEXION, KNEE EXTENSION, HIP EXTENSION, AND NEUTRAL PELVIS
BACKSIDE MECHANICS
ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, DECELERATE, STABILIZE, AND CHANGE DIRECTION QUICKLY WHILE MAINTAINING PROPER POSTURE
AGILITY
PRODUCT OF STRIDE RATE AND STRIDE LENGTH
SPEED
MAGNITUDE OF MOVEMENT SPEED IS RELATIVE TO WHAT ?
POPULATION SPECIFIC
2 IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF SPRINT TECHNIQUE ARE WHAT ?
FRONTSIDE AND BACKSIDE MECHANICS
IMPROVED WHAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH STRONGER PUSH PHASE, INCLUDING HIP KNEE EXTENSION, GLUTEAL CONTRACTION, AND BACKSIDE ARM DRIVE
IMPROVED BACKSIDE MECHANICS
WORK IN SYNCHRONY TO APPLY FORCE TO GROUND, RECOVER FROM STRIDE CYCLE, AND PROPEL BODY FORWARD EFFECTIVELY
FRONTSIDE AND BACKSIDE MECHANICS
WHEN PERFORMING FRONT OR BACKSIDE MECHANICS, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT PELVIS STAY NEUTRAL WHY ?
FACILITATE PROPER ROM AND FORCE PRODUCTION
REQUIRES HIGH LEVELS OF NEUROMUSCULAR EFFICIENCY TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ONES CENTER OF GRAVITY OVER BASE OF SUPPORT WHILE CHANGING DIRECTIONS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS
AGILITY
CAN ENHANCE ECCENTRIC NEUROMUSCULAR COORDINATION, DYNAMIC FLEXIBILITY, DYNAMIC POSTURAL CONTROL, FUNCTIONAL CORE STRENGTH AND PROPRIOCEPTION
AGILITY
PROPER TRAINING OF WHAT CAN HELP PREVENT INJURY BY ENHANCING BODYS ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY CONTROL ECCENTRIC FORCES IN ALL PLANES OF MOTION AS WELL AS BY IMPROVING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
AGILITY
KINETIC CHAIN CHECKPOINT DURING RUNNING MOVEMENTS - FOOT/ANKLE COMPLEX
POINTING STRAIGHT AHEAD IN DORSIFLEXED POSITION WHEN HITS GROUND
WHEN RUNNING, EXCESSIVE WHAT OF FOOT WILL CREATE ABNORMAL STRESS THROUGHOUT REST OF KINETIC CHAIN AND DECREASE OVERALL PERFORMANCE
EXCESSIVE FLATTENING OR EXTERNAL ROTATION
KINETIC CHAIN CHECKPOINT DURING RUNNING MOVEMENTS - KNEE COMPLEX
REMAIN STRAIGHT
