1 Power and strength development in the physical preparation of athletes

2 Strength is the ability to overcome different types of resistance with muscle activity. Strength= work performed in a unit of time Power is the maximum force a muscle or muscle group are capable of manifesting at certain speed (Knuttgen and Kraemer, 1987)

Excentric muscle action occurs during controlled reduction of load.

3 Concentric muscle action occurs when overcoming a load (lifting, pulling). The muscles are shortened. Excentric muscle action occurs during controlled reduction of load. The muscles are lengthened. Isometric muscle action occurs when a muscle develops force without movement in that particular joint.

4 Training methods may also be classified by different types of muscle contraction OVERCOMING - CONCENTRIC MUSCLE CONTRACTION RELAXING- EXCENTRIC MUSCLE CONTRACTION HOLDING ISOMETRIC MUSCLE CONTRACTION

5 The effect of resistance exercises can focus on: Development of maximum strength Development of repetitive strength Development of explosive strength Development of speed strength Development of elastic strength Indirect development of other motoric and functional abilities Increased muscle mass Reduction of subcutaneous fatty tissue Injury prevention Rehabilitation

Load types: Conscious contractions Self-resistance Own

natural resources (water, sand, snow, wind.

.) Training devices (classic, isokinetic) Free weights

6 Load types: Conscious contractions Self-resistance Own weight Partner resistance Stationary load Different natural resources (water, sand, snow, wind..) Gravitational resistance (ascent, descent..) Training devices (classic, isokinetic) Free weights (for one-hand, two-hands) Various aids (medicine balls, sand bags, Swedish benches )

7 Basic types of movement during resistance training Global movements Pulls Pushes Bends Stretches Drawing closer Pushing away Rotation Type of execution by part of the movement being performed Concentric and excentric part Isolated concentric part Isolated excentric part Type of execution by speed Controlled execution (every stage of the movement lasts 1-5 seconds) Explosive execution

successfulness and transfer in competitive exercises.

12 Methodic basics of strength training (Weineck, 1995): 1. EFFECTIVENESS. The effectiveness of an exercise is judged by the speed of increase in successfulness and transfer in competitive exercises. Time of application and current condition of an athlete influence effectiveness of an exercise.

13 Methodic basics of strength training (Weineck, 1995): 2. SPECIFICITY. High training efficiency and appropriate transfer are achieved by means of a specific strength training preceded by general, development training. Such training is based on: the principle of development of sport-specific muscle groups while paying attention to work angles relevant for the specific sport, the principle of correspondence of neuromuscular tension in training and competitive exercises and the principle of simultaneous development of all characteristics of motion relevant for success.

14 Methodic basics of strength training (Weineck, 1995.): 3. VARIABILITY. Training variability is important for several reasons: a. Every mean of training does not have the same potential. The higher the successfulness, the lower the effectiveness of invested means, which need to be replaced with more efficient ones. Consequently do not use highly effective means first, because the organism is not ready for them yet and their absence will be felt later when they will be required for further increase in effectiveness.

15 Methodic basics of strength training (Weineck, 1995.): 3. VARIABILITY. Training variability is important for several reasons: b. Load variations are not always appropriate, because they can stall effectiveness due to the adjustment of the neuromuscular system to constant load magnitudes, forms and methods. Variable increase in load is realized by means of loads appropriate for an athlete s abilities.

16 Methodic basics of strength training (Weineck, 1995.): 3. VARIABILITY. Training variability is important for several reasons : c. Experiments have shown that the application of different training methods and methodic forms results in greater increase in strength than in the event of continuous application of the same methods. d. The combined execution of exercises with a different load tempo results in greater increase in strength than the execution with only one load tempo e. Frequency and continuity are very important components of strength training. Fast results do not last long. The increase in strength by long-term continuous work has a much slower downward curve, because apart from functional, they also cause morphological adjustments (hypertrophy).

18 STRENGTH TRAINING METHODS (according to Watson, A.W.S., 1985) MANNER OF TRAINING 1. DINAMIC STIMULI METHOD CHARACTERISTICS - use of small, medium and large external loads - tosses - own body weight as load in dinamic conditions METHOD S ALTERNATIVE NAME Isotonic training Repetitive stimuli method 2. WEIGHT LIFTING - concentric muscle contraction dominates, weights vary Pyramid training - continuous external load during entire amplitude of movement 3. ELASTIC BANDS- SPRINGS 4. ISOMETRIC STIMULI METHOD - resistance achieved by elastic band and increased by its stretching - no motion - attempted motion - resistance of immovable object Static training

AJUSTED RESISTANCE METHOD CHARACTERISTICS - external load greater than muscle force, muscle is forced to stretch and elongate - distraction - elastic strength exercises - after shock absorption, the release stage of the movement is performed - ridge resistance differs on different parts of the amplitudemovement s angle values - machine resistance is proportionate to speed of movement the faster the movement, the greater the resistance METHOD S ALTERNATIVE NAME Training with negative work Plyometric training Nautilus training Isokinetic training

21 Methodic basics of strength training in children and young people: The basic law of strength training in young people is: broad development of physical abilities, but with no risk. Strength development must be harmonious, age-appropriate, multifaceted, versatile and fun Due to the interconnectedness of strength, coordination and technique, muscle strength must start being developed from an early age. It is the only way to benefit from different training methods and contents.

22 Methodic basics of strength training in children and young people: Strength training must almost exclusively be realized through play and in connection with the development of coordination. Characteristics of strength must not be developed to the max, but to optimum level. Maximum strength, in spite of its great importance for strength speed, should be developed only through games. Do not neglect bone and connective tissue training, because it will later become an important precondition for high loading capacity of the entire locomotion system. Avoid muscle disbalance Demand must increase by scope, not intensity

Methodic basics of strength training in children and young people: Stimuli in strength training must be varied, because the spectrum of impact of all exercises extends to all abilities of

23 Methodic basics of strength training in children and young people: Stimuli in strength training must be varied, because the spectrum of impact of all exercises extends to all abilities of strength. Sufficient recovery time must be ensured. Due to the increased exchange of substances caused by growth, energy consumption is increased, requiring longer recovery time than in adults.

29 Conclusion Due to the requirements of contemporary sports training and competitions, strength became an exceptionally important precondition for final competitive success. The development of strength and strength characteristics is only possible if coaches receive highest professional training and athletes are highly
