Question 3

key findings between elite and sub elite runners

Answer 3

no real diff in contact time with time

Elite: 25% more horizontal vs sub Elite

Question 4

max power findings

Answer 4

technique is more important than pure max strength training

can have a negative effect on training and technique

Question 5

Specificity of training:

Answer 5

look at specific prep exercises, work on movements used in game (IE: explosive power for cutting inside)

improve efficiency of movement

Question 6

specific training addition:

Answer 6

specific muscle contraction, movement and the actual muscles being contracted.

Question 7

pyramid of prep:

Answer 7

prep:

General preparatory exercise (lowest) (GPE)
specific preparatory exercises (SPE)

development:

specific development exercises (SDE)

perfection:

Competitive event

event

Question 8

ID technical error:

Answer 8

Examples of constraints approach:

find own solution to athletes problem,

added hurdles to increase hip flexion leading to and improvement of technique also helps focus muscle groups

Question 9

underpinning successful performance (agility)

broad to specific

Answer 9

perception and change in direction speed

Perception: visual scanning and anticipation

change in direction speed: technique, straight sprinting speed and leg muscle qualities

Technique: foot placement, adjustment stride

leg muscle qualities: muscle fibers, strength of muscles, hypertrophy and hyperplasia, muscle movements (eccentric and concentric) power

Question 10

putting training into context:

Answer 10

movement competency> planned> reactive/situational (task constraints)

look at effective KPIs to show change
