SPEED IN SPORTS TRAINING PROGRAMS ARE BASED UPON WHAT FOUNDATION?
An acronym used in the national strength and conditioning association is SAID (specific adaptation to imposed demands). Simply put, in athletics we know what sport demands of us. So we prepare our athletes according to the demands of their sport. If we have an athlete who plays tennis then we break down the sport of tennis. We look at several factors including, but not limited to, body movements, muscle movements, energy system requirements, and injury analysis. We then design our program based upon the sport. This is the basic starting/planning point of a Speed In Sports training program.
