Pre-Season Physical Preparation Applying Science to Practice Paul Clarke
Paul Clarke County Meath Match-Fit Ireland Strength & Conditioning, Sports Science and out on the pitch 3-4 times per week “in the trenches” Meath, Offaly, Newtown Blues & Skryne GFC 2013, St. Oliver Plunketts ER 2014 Head of Performance Solutions....Redback Biotek Sports Technology
VX Sport – NZ....2008 “Performance you can See” Innvoation comes from not knowing Develop performance partnerships with our clients....work together and learn together. Drive better on field performance and.... Keep the coach and player at the heart of everything we do

“I felt you were a bit out of position at time.......no, I was where you told me...”...Sound familiar ???
Match #1 = 0-1 from play..........Match #2 = 1-3 from play in this half.
Fatigue Analysis Quality & frequency of sprints (efficiency)
Training Volumes • Drill Volume • Warm up Volume • Burnout 700m 750m 300m Total = 3000m 1000m
Better Questions...better use of time??...Better ways for pre-season?? Drills based Session - 2012 Game Based Session - 2012 Time = 20 mins Distance Covered = 2139 mts☺ Relative Distance = 107 mts/min ☺ Hi-Intensity mts = 312 m ☺ High-end Sprints (avg. Per player) = 8.2 ☺ ** Game played after Drills section** • Time = 35 mins • Distance Covered = 1907 mts • Relative Distance = 54 mts/min • Hi-Intensity mts = 83 • High-end Sprints (avg. Per player) = 1.8
Another look...Carlow 2014 Louth Senior Club 2013 (1 Half of play) Carlow IT Trial (6 SSGs) Time = 24 mins Distance = 2170 Relative Distance = 90mts/min Hi –Intensity Distance = 461 mts % Hi-Intensity = 21% No. of Hi-Intensity sprints = 79 Is this approach preparing the players for the stop/start nature of GAA??? • Time = 30 mins • Distance = 3497 mts • Relative Dist = 117 mts/min • Hi-Intensity Distance = 789 mts • % Hi-Intensity = 23% • No of Hi –Intensity sprints = 82
Finding another way......... • Hurling & Football • Pre-Season.....more effective use of time? • Integrating Physical, Mental, Technical, Tactical demands of the game Test environment • 10-a-side : 2 x 3 mins • 6-a-side : 2 x 2 mins • 3-a-side : 2 x 1 min
