program design and implementation

1. program design and implementation • prioritization • A priority, B priority, C priority, D priority • target training • 80/20  Pareto Principle • workout structure a. element (mastery of a skill or distance) b. task (complete 3-5 circuits for time) c. time (complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes) • scaling

2. Why Heavy Loads? From the Motor Learning Perspective • Highest level of neural outputs best develops skill

3. Anatomical Planes of the Human Body

4. Analyzing Sport Skills • Determine objectives • Special characteristics • Elite performers • Divide skill into phases • Divide phases into elements • Understand the kinesiology and physics of each element

5. Objectives of the Skill • What is the result? • Begin with the end in mind • Overall performance objective • Other objectives that dictate skill performance • Rules of the sport • Physiology  energy systems • Biomechanics  core to extremity movement

6. Special Characteristics • Discrete – continuous – serial • Open vs. closed environments

7. Elite Performances • Visual image of what the skill execution looks like • Assists in the development of the motor program • Watching with intention

8. Divide Skill Into Phases • Set up (preparatory) • Wind up (backswing) • Force producing movements • Follow through

9. Set Up

10. Wind Up

11. Force Producing Movement(Impulse)

13. Follow Through

15. Key Elements • Distinct actions that result in success • Ex. cross diagonal gait  walking/running • Focus on force producing movements when teaching

16. Mechanical Reasons • The basis of good technique is good physics • Be able to answer the “Why?” of the motion

17. Observation, Analysis & Correction of Errors • Observe complete skill • Analyze each phase and key elements • Use mechanical principles • Select errors to be corrected • Decide on appropriate techniques

18. Performance Errors • Major • Seriously detract from performance of skill • Minor • Minimal effect on performance
