Course Overview
The ability to perform rapid speed and agility manoeuvres within an ever-changing chaotic environment are great in sport. Such movement skills place large biomechanical and neuromuscular demands upon the body - all of which can be enhanced via the implementation of effective speed and agility training. Therefore - the aim of this short course is to provide performance coaches with a greater understanding of the biomechanical and neuromuscular demands of acceleration - maximal running velocity - deceleration - and change of direction performance - and how each of these vital performance qualities can be improved using an evidence-based multi-disciplinary approach.
Learning Outcomes
At the completion of this course, you will understand:
- How to improve acceleration, maximal velocity sprinting, deceleration and change of direction performance using a multi-disciplinary programming approach
- How to optimise strength and power transfer of training effects for acceleration, maximal velocity sprinting, deceleration and change of direction performance
- The most effective plyometric training for acceleration, maximal velocity sprinting, deceleration and change of direction
- The relationship between maximal strength and acceleration performance
- The relationship between an athlete’s reactive strength index, deceleration performance and neuromuscular pre-activation
- The relationship between drop jump performance, reactive strength index and max velocity running
- The importance of heel recovery, angular momentum and stride frequency when running with optimal mechanics
- How to improve speed and agility performance with the use of sled sprints, incline and decline sprint training, hip flexor specific training
