POWER Q. What is POWER? A. It is the combination of Speed and Strength
What does Power enable the performer to do? • It is important in activities where the performer is pushed to travel as high or as far as possible, or to hit, kick or throw an object as far as possible. Task: Can you think of three activities where Power is important to get the performer as high or far as possible?
ANSWER • LONG JUMP to push the performer as far as possible • HIGH JUMP to push the performer as high as possible • REBOUNDER to enable the performer (Basketball) to jump from the floor to retrieve the ball Task: Can you think of three activities where you need to hit, kick, throw an object?
ANSWER • JAVELIN to throw the object as far as possible • RUGBY to kick the ball as far as possible to clear it • TENNIS to hit the ball as hard as you can on serve
How is POWER measured? Power can be measured in a number of ways. Two standard tests which we will use to determine leg power will be: • The standing broad jump (measures how far) • The standing vertical jump (measures how high)
How can POWER be improved? It can be developed through combining speed and strength training programmes. Example: Weight work with sprint sessions or practising the activity itself (javelin) repeatedly.
