Below we will illustrate typical examples of periodization in the fundamental, special and pre-competitive phases, deliberately omitting the INTRODUCTORY and AGONISTIC CALM OR TRANSITION phases, in order to streamline as much as possible a topic that is already sufficiently articulated, complex and detailed

1st PREPARATORY PERIOD - FUNDAMENTAL PERIOD 1 - means to be used in the weekly microcycle Force with overload (explosive and elastic explosive) Continuous deep bending: continuous bending with horizontal thighs, 3 sets of 5 rips with loading from 150% up to 200% of body weight ½ continuous squat (time of each rip approximately 600 milliseconds): 3 sets of 6 rips at 100-200% of body weight Continuous deep jump bend: 3 sets of 6-8 rips with 100% load of body weight at the first session and 50% at the second ½ Continuous jump squat: 3 sets of 6-8 rips at 50% of body weight at the first session and

FUNDAMENTAL PERIOD 1 - means to be used in the weekly microcycle Force with overload (maximum, explosive and elastic explosive) Squat: 4 series of 5 rips from 100% up to 200% of body weight, or one leg at a time with a load of 50% of body weight Continuous deep bending: continuous bending with horizontal thighs, 4 sets of 5 rips with a load of up to 200% of body weight ½ Quick continuous squat: 4 sets of 6-8 rips at 100-200% of body weight Deep jump from a standing position: 3-4 series of 5 rips with a load from 50 up to 100% of body weight Continuous deep jump bending: 3-4 series of 6-8 rips w

In fast races, the development of the running technique is closely linked to the variables of frequency and amplitude of the movements, and to the time the foot is supported; it follows that: to increase the speed of the run, it is essential to improve the amplitude and the frequency of the steps also thanks to the parallel reduction of the support times of the foot

The relay races are the only definable competitions of an athletics team (4 companions per group); at the Olympic level only 4x100 meters and 4x400 meters are performed, but there are different types that can be reproduced in ordinary events. Herbert Kratky / Shutterstock.com The relays fall within the fast-running disciplines and consist in getting the "witness" to arrive as quickly as possible; to do this, it is necessary for the 4 participating athletes to be faster than their opponents at any given distance, as well as more skilled in passing the baton between them

Running technique The race, while constituting an instinctive gesture, in athletics acquires a sophisticated, complex and nuanced technical interpretation, the result of research and improvement by the coach and the athlete, which can reach speeds of even 10-12m per second (36-43.2 Km / h). The technique of fast running must therefore reach the compromise between athletic gesture and anthropometric characteristics of the athlete, who will apply the theory of movement to his own peculiarities

Edited by Fabio Grossi and Michela Verardo PREPARE PHYSICALLY When we see the great characters of this sport - the celebrated Tiger Woods above all - it is very easy to make fantastic shots, we think that this is a simple game, which involves no effort. In reality we cannot fully understand how much work is hidden behind the performances of these great champions

Edited by Alessandro Stranieri With maximum laps Do you want to become really smart pilots? Then prepare your body properly. How he trains, which tools he uses, which psyco-physical solicitations he receives on the track a single-seater driver. Head and neck training During a car race, the cervical section of the driver is subjected to longitudinal stresses (such as when the pilot's center of gravity rises against the force of gravity due to the impact against a curb) and above all of the transverse type (due to curves and sharp braking), To this we must add that also the mass of the helmet

Edited by Fabio Grossi and Michela Verardo Introduction to golf Background Golf in Italy Prepare yourself physically Athletic preparation for golf Many of us don't know, but golf with over 50 million players is one of the most popular sports in the world. Probably because, unlike many other activities, it can be practiced without distinction by men and women, by children, adults and the elderly

By Dr. Nicola Sacchi Every sport has different technical and athletic characteristics, therefore athletic preparation must guarantee a specific physical improvement for these characteristics. The golfer has precise athletic needs, therefore the athletic preparation must guarantee the improvement of the golfer's physical condition so as to improve his performance on the field
