Chapter 19: Program Design for Speed and Agility Training Flashcards
the skills and abilities needed to achieve high movement velocities
speed
the skills and abilities needed to explosively change movement directions, velocities, or modes
change of direction
the skills and abilities needed to change direction, velocity, or mode in response to a stimulus
agility
the development of maximal force in minimal time, typically used as an index of explosive strength
rate of force development (RFD)
the product of the generated force and the time required for its production, which is measured as the area under the force-time curve.
Impulse
Velocity and _____ are often used interchangeably
speed
________ is the rate at which an object covers a distance
speed
_______ describe both how fast an object is traveling and its direction. In short, velocity is speed with ________.
Velocity; direction
________ refers to the rate at which an object velocity changes over time
acceleration
______ replaces negative acceleration in describing a change from higher to lower velocity
deceleration
change in force divided by the change in time is known as _______
RFD
An athlete wishing to achieve higher acceleration capabilities should apply forces at a greater or less rates?
greater
When functional movements are performed, force is typically applied very briefly, that is often for _____ to ____ seconds, whereas absolute maximum force development may require ____ to ____ seconds
0.1 - 0.2
0.6 - 0.8
The product of the time the force is applied to the ground and the amount of force applied is termed _______
impulse
The length of time athletes are in this stance or plant phase is termed their _______ ________ ________
ground contact time
Changes in impulse result in change’s of the athletes momentum and therefore the ability to either _______ or ________.
accelerate or decelerate
______ is defined as the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of movement
momentum
Within human locomotion, the magnitude of the force coupled with the length of time the force is produced during an individual step is paramount to _________
success
What are the 2 most important factors of sprinting?
RFD and impulse
________ impulse should be considered during change-of-direction and agility maneuvers. The amount of impulse required to change change momentum effectively and efficiently is a direct reflection of the physical requirements for change of direction.
Braking
An eccentric-concentric coupling phenomenon in which muscle tendon complexes are rapidly and forcibly lengthened, or stretch load and immediately shortened in reactive or elastic manner.
Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC)
Training activities aimed at improving SSC performance should fulfill two criteria:
example:
They should involve skillful, multi-joint movements that transmit forces through the kinetic chain and exploit elastic mechanisms.
In order to manage fatigue and emphasize work quality and technique, they should be structured around brief work bouts or clusters separated by frequent rest breaks.
ex: trap bar deadlifts 4 x 5 @60% 1RM + 4x jump squats with assisted bands
Initial 20 meter:
horizontal velocity recovery of swing is low to the ground
Longer ground contact time and closer to max force potential = deceleration or acceleration?
Acceleration
Usain Bolt is making short ground contact time, high RFD, vertical force w/upright sprint mechanics. Wha phase is this athlete in?
Max Velocity Phase
An athlete should have an upright trunk by ______ meters
