  1. Speed & Agility Speed – The time dependant ability to complete a task Agility – the ability to change body position or direction of travel at speed under control. Quickness – Learning, thinking or reacting rapidly and energetically. Developing speed and agility allows most sports performers to develop base skills and movement patterns that will aid them in becoming more efficient at their chosen sport and less prone to injury Created by: stewart.kearney927@mod.uk

  2. SPEED TRAINING

  3. Speed Training Often mistaken with RST (repeat sprint training) 95%+ of max speed (getting faster or getting more tired) Full rest periods (complete recovery) required(4 min + 90Sec Per 10m) Closely linked with Strength.

  4. Speed Training A clear association between MAX squat strength and short sprints!

  5. Speed Volume and Rest The Charlie Francis Training System

  6. Agility “A rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction In response to a stimulus “ Mladen Jovanovic – Complimentary Training

  7. Speed is only one component • Leg Muscle Qualities • Reactive Strength – plyometrics • Concentric Strength – strength work/dynamic effort • Left-Right Imbalance – single leg work

  8. Agility Training DONT Perform a bunch of SAQ or cutting drills as the movement is pre planned DO Improve agility by playing the game (or drills that develop decision making) Improve leg muscle qualities Single leg work (unilateral).
