Sprint Training
The use of plyometrics is a widespread stable of the athletics world.
The use of such methods requires careful consideration, especially in regard
to the risk of injury.
Sprint Training
When performing sprint training, competition is an essential and obvious
means of ensuring intensity. In sprint and agility training, the competitive
and social nature of the players should be harnessed and agility and quickness
can be
developed using tailored playground and physical education games such as
bulldogs, handball and combines which develop athleticism as well as requiring
acceleration, rapid changes in direction, strategy and inventiveness. Speed
endurance, or anaerobic endurance, refers to the players’ ability to carry
out repeated high intensity efforts. Working with athletes, it is important
that the volume of anaerobic work is controlled to assist muscular gains,
prevent over-use injuries and allow sufficient recovery.
