Cold Water Immersion for Track and Field Athletes - Should it Be Part of Your Toolkit? 5:03

12 weeks yang lalu5:03

5:03

This episode discusses key AIS findings regarding the use of Cold Water Immersion (CWI) for athlete recovery, highlighting both potential benefits and important considerations. Sources Water Immersion Overview CWI - Is it Worth the Plunge? CWI may offer slight, short-term recovery benefits following endurance-focused exercise, potentially reducing the time needed for recovery during periods of intensive training. It could also be beneficial after resistance training by reducing the inflammatory response and promoting muscle protein synthesis, although post-exercise nutrition should be considered. CWI may help mitigate muscle damage after high impact activities like plyometrics or hill sprints, particularly with increases in training load or muscle soreness. During the competitive season, CWI may be used more frequently to prepare for competition, but caution is needed to avoid impacting training adaptations. In the pre-season, CWI can be strategically used to promote recovery and improve the athlete's perception of recovery, though impacts on training adaptation should be considered. Coaches should also consider the schedule of events when using CWI, ensuring it doesn't impact same-day performance, and it might be most useful following competition or a demanding session. Furthermore, CWI can be useful during injury recovery with professional guidance. Key Messages: CWI should NEVER take priority over methods like sleep, nutrition, and hydration , and its timing and protocol (immersion duration and temperature) should be carefully considered. It is important to consider environmental conditions, with CWI being potentially more beneficial in hot weather, and individual factors such as age, sex, and body composition, along with athlete's feedback and preferences. CWI should be used carefully as it can impair muscle protein synthesis and may be harmful for those with peripheral vascular disease, with some athletes being more responsive than others . If implemented, CWI should be integrated within a periodized plan and coach and athlete should consult with qualified professionals before implementation.…

10:12

This Episode discusses the relationship between coach-athlete dynamics and burnout in young elite athletes. It examines how appraisals of the coach-athlete relationship correlate with and predict burnout symptoms, both generally and specifically related to sport. The research highlights the crucial role of the coach-athlete relationship in athletes’ mental well-being. Our AI hosts then discuss strategies for building and maintaining great relationships with your athletes. Source Coach-Athlete Relationship: and Burnout Symptoms The study uses longitudinal data from Swiss Olympic Partner Schools to analyse this relationship, also exploring the moderating role of mental toughness. Findings indicate a negative correlation between positive coach-athlete relationships and burnout, but longitudinal prediction was limited due to the stability of burnout symptoms over time. Mental toughness did not moderate the relationship between coach-athlete dynamics and burnout.…

How Muscle Action Shifts at Different Sprinting Speeds and the Coaching Implications 14:15

16 weeks yang lalu14:15

14:15

Effective sprint training requires an in-depth understanding of the physiological demands sprinters face as they accelerate and maintain high speeds. This deep dive will explore a study by Dorn, Schache, and Pandy (2012) highlighting the muscular strategy shifts that occur as sprinters increase their running speed. This article explores the findings of their study, discusses the key muscular adaptations, and provides practical implications for coaches working with sprinters and distance runners. Key Findings Dorn et al. (2012) revealed that as athletes increase their speed, they shift from relying on the ankle plantarflexors (soleus and gastrocnemius) to the hip muscles for achieving further acceleration. This change occurs around the 7 m/s mark, which is particularly relevant for sprinters who race at speeds consistently above this threshold. Below 7 m/s: The Role of Stride Length At lower speeds, up to around 7 m/s, increasing stride length is the primary mechanism for improving running velocity . The soleus and gastrocnemius play a significant role in generating vertical ground reaction forces that propel the body upwards and forwards. This action enhances the time the sprinter spends in the air, contributing to a longer stride. Above 7 m/s: The Shift to Stride Frequency As speed increases, ground contact time decreases, limiting the effectiveness of the ankle plantarflexors. The force-velocity relationship of muscles means that at higher velocities, the ability of the soleus and gastrocnemius to generate force diminishes. Beyond 7 m/s, the focus shifts to increasing stride frequency , which is achieved through faster leg swing facilitated by the hip muscles—specifically the iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings.

Approaches to Technique and Training the High Jump 13:23

20 weeks yang lalu13:23

13:23

This episode discusses a paper by Wolfgang Ritzdorf, Director of the World High Jump Centre in Cologne, Germany, explaining his approach to coaching high jumpers. He argues that coaches must first establish a technical model for their athletes, then assess whether their personal style hinders or helps them achieve key technical elements. Next, he emphasises the crucial role of reactive strength in determining an athlete's ideal take-off time, which, in turn, informs the technical model selected. Ritzdorf outlines a four-stage technical preparation programme: 1. Developing general qualities, 2. Developing specific qualities, 3. Developing specific skills, and 4. Technical training. He concludes that limiting technical training to a maximum of two sessions per week, with a small number of jumps from a short approach, helps to maximise performance and avoid negative changes in the dynamics of the jump.

This episode discusses an article written by Dr. Vanessa Thiele and published by the AIS, arguing that coaches should prioritise self-care, as it is crucial for their performance and leadership. The author explains that self-care is not just about relaxation, but rather any deliberate action taken to support one's mental, physical, and emotional health. Self-care helps to reduce stress and enhance performance, making coaches more resilient and better able to handle pressure. The document highlights three outdated mindsets to avoid, such as viewing burnout as a badge of honour, and encourages coaches to make self-care a daily priority. It emphasises that self-care is essential for coaches to be in the optimal performance zone, enabling them to effectively lead and guide their athletes.
