Strength & Conditioning:The ART and SCIENCEof injury free performance By Neil Parsley Senior strength & conditioning coach English Institute of Sport
The next 60 mins Background The Science Case study overview The Art of coaching Putting it together Questions
Who is Neil Parsley? • Skinny kid who started training after watching Rocky aged 7… who lives and breathes sport. • Played professional Rugby League • Strength and conditioning coach for the EIS- 8 years • - non linear route • Currently lead S&C Coach for GB Taekwondo & • GB wrestling • Director of Underground Training Station • Regular contributor to Fighting Fit magazine
EIS Definition “The specialist area encompassing the planning and implementation of physical preparation programmes for performance. It includes processes that result in physical adaptation, integrating fitness components into a programme, which complements other aspects of the performer’s development. This includes, though not exclusively, strength, speed, power, endurance, agility and flexibility. Effective programming in strength and conditioning presents the best synergistic combination for optimum development whilst minimizing the risk of injury”
The Science of Conditioning The Metabolic Continuum AEROBIC ANAEROBIC PHOSPHATE THRESHOLD 2 Oxygen Uptake [BLOOD LACTATE] THRESHOLD 1 VELOCITY
Types of Conditioning The Metabolic Continuum AEROBIC ANAEROBIC PHOSPHATE THRESHOLD 2 Speed Training [BLOOD LACTATE] Oxygen Uptake Intensive Intervals THRESHOLD 1 Extensive Intervals Intensive Tempo Long Slow Extensive Tempo VELOCITY
FORCE VELOCITY The Science of Strength • It’s all about ‘THE CURVE’
Strength Qualities • Maximum Strength • Explosive Strength • Speed Strength • RFD • Reactive Strength • ‘Sport-specific Strength’ (Newton, 2002)
FORCE VELOCITY Types of Strength Training Max Strength Explosive Strength Hyper-trophy Speed Strength Strength Endurance Reactive Strength
Building the athletic engine-What does it need to do?-What does it look like currently?
What does it need to do?-Needs analysis of sport 1. biomechanical2. physiological
BiomechanicalPunching & kicking (types)-angles speeds & forces!Reactive strength- SSC capability etc etc
Biomechanical InformationDirectly informs-Exercise selection- SquatSets & reps etc
PhysiologicalEnergy system contribution-Anaerobicalcatic energy sytem -Anaerobiclactic energy sytem-Aerobic system3x2mins (45s)x6/7
What does it look like currently?- Cluster testingThorough!!!
Cluster testing • Sports movement analysis • Movement screen • Isolated testing
Cluster testing • Imbalances • Energy leaks- weaknesses in the kinetic chain
Strength Diagnostics • Agility test • Flexibility test • Anaerobic capacity test • Lower body power test
Don’t rehabilitate…Prehabilitate**Good programs integrate prehab- fillers!
Athletes don’t rise but sink to the level of their training.. …..Build the engine!!
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Balance • Movement • Strength
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Don’t be S & c…think!
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Movement- quality! • Acceleration & deceleration
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Balance- simple to complex • adding layers of integration • *NB not just for martial arts & • gymnastics
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Ground based • Multi-joint & multi-planar • Uni-lateral & bi-lateral
Rules of engagement for optimal programming • Full body exercise • Knee dominant • Hip dominant • Horizontal push • Horizontal pull • Vertical push
Planning Training • Periodisation • Long-Term Athlete Development • FUNdamentals • Training-to-Train • Training-to-Compete • Training-to-Win
The Art of Coaching • Collaboration with coaches- examples • Communication with athletes- language, cues • Communication with parents! • Communication with a multi-disciplinary team • - examples
