  1. Speed as a skill!! Munster Coaching Conference April 2008 Pat Flanagan BA PhysEd, MSc.

  2. Aims of Workshop • To explain the basis for making speed work an integral part of your training programme • To demonstrate some speed practices/drills with and without the ball • Specifically the following will be addressed: • Physiology of Speed • Aspects of Speed • Planning and Periodisation for speed

  3. Outcomes • Coaches will have a better understanding of what speed means • Coaches will review their current planning for speed • Coaches will include more specific speed drills into their sessions

  4. Younger Players • Are not mini-adults • Pre and post puberty and growth spurt • Poor temperature control • Poor anaerobic capacity • ABC,s (Athleticism/agility, Balance, Coordination, Speed • Concentrate on fun and skill • Should play a variety of sports (14/15)

  5. Time Analysis*2006 All-Ireland Football Final* * Activity bout analysis. LH 2006

  6. Physiology of Speed ‘It does exactly wot it seys on de tin’

  7. Muscle Fibres: Slow Twitch • Energy efficient • Low power generation • Difficult to fatigue • Many mitochondria • Posture, walking, jogging • Highly oxygenated • Low activation threashold

  8. Fast Twitch • High power output • Fatigues easily • Thick • Less mitochondria • Sprinting, jumping, kicking • Does not need oxygen • High activation threashold

  9. Fast Twitch A • High power output • Fatigues slowly for a FT • Thick • Less mitochondria • 40 to 300 metres • Does not need oxygen but can use it • Highish activation threshold

  10. Fast Twitch B • Very high power output • Fatigues rapidly • Thick • Less mitochondria • 1-40 metres • Does not use oxygen • High activation threshold

  11. Fast Twitch C • Trainable to be what you want it to be • 20% of fibres • What type of training do you do?

  12. Motor Neurons • Slow twitch neurons, thin, recruited first, fatigue resistant, low threshold, slow conductivity • Fast Twitch neurons, thick, recruited second, fatigue easily, high threshold, high conductivity

  13. ‘It does exactly wot it seys on de tin’

  14. Training for Speed • Strength • Core Stability • Power • Flexibility • Speed Endurance • Aerobic endurance • Agility • TECHNIQUE

  15. TECHNIQUE: Speed as Skill • Body position • Arm action • Knee lift • Head position • Hip position..COG • Heel recovery • Relaxation • Foot strike

  16. Aspects of Speed • Reaction…1m • Power….10m • Acceleration…..10-25m • Speed…..30m-60m • Speed endurance……60m+ • Deceleration/Direction change

  17. SPRINTING PERFORMANCE STRIDE LENGTH STRIDE FREQUENCY STRENGTH TECHNIQUE COORDINATION FLEXIBILTIY SPECIFIC ENDURANCE Jonath et al 1995

  18. Reaction/Power • Standing starts • Moving on spot starts • Lying down • Holding start • React to ball starts • Starts with harness • Combination

  19. Acceleration • Strides • Acceleration runs • Pick-up sprints • Hollow sprints • Harness runs • Zig-zag runs

  20. Speed Endurnce (Short/Long) • Strides..Technique • Acceleration runs • Shuttle runs • Hollow sprints • Parachute runs • Zig-zag runs • Hill training • Three Man Weave

  21. Deceleration/Direction Change • Strides with Swerve • Acceleration runs • Shuttle runs • Reaction Drills • Parachute runs • Zig-zag runs • Hill training • Three Man Weave

  22. Basic Speed • Downhill running • Parachute release • Towing • Wind assisted • Practice being fast • Staggered races

  23. Testing for Speed • 20m-50m timed run • Flying 30m run • 200m timed run • Vertical jump • Standing long jump • 5 single leg hops for distance • Shuttle test for distance • Margaria Power Test
