Athletic Speed Development

▪ Types of Speed

▪ Anatomy/Physiology

▪ Training Methods/ Biomechanics

Types of Speed

▪ 100m Olympic Sprint– Drag Race– Linear vs Curvilinear (200m, 400m)

▪ Football Running back, Soccer Midfielder– Linear– Agility (Acceleration, Deceleration)

▪ Baseball Pitcher– Shoulder (8500 deg/sec; 24hz)

▪ Hockey– Lateral (skating, goalie sliding)

Anatomy

▪ Muscle Belly>Tendon>Bone

Anatomy

▪ Muscles are made up of fibers

Physiology

▪ Types of muscle fibers

Physiology

▪ Energy Systems

Anatomy/Physiology

▪ Golgi Tendon Organ

Training Methods

▪ Need strength base

▪ Change speed of movement

▪ Change resistance

▪ Resistance training > Olympic Lifts > Agility work > Ballistic > Plyometric

Resistance Training

▪ Squat

Resistance Training

▪ Deadlift

Modified Olympic Lifts

▪ Hang Clean

Agility Work

Ballistic Training

▪ Medicine Ball Work

Plyometric Training

▪ True Plyometric

Biomechanics

▪ Triple Extension– Hips– Knees– Ankles

Biomechanics

▪ Triple Extension– Hips– Knees– Ankles

Biomechanics

▪ Triple Extension– Hips– Knees– Ankles

Biomechanics

▪a=F/m▪a= v/ t

• Change mass• Resistance Training

• Change velocity• Agility Work

• Change time• Plyometrics

Resistance Training

▪ FAST!

Biomechanics

▪ FAST!
