IN THIS VIDEO:
I take a look at strength training for long and triple jump and sprinting. This is a topic that keeps coming up on the channel. It provokes much debate and inertest.
There are various and often conflicting views on how to strength train for the jumping events. Some coaches and athletes are very pro weights, whilst others are less so. I sit more in the latter camp. I do believe that weight training has a value, however, I think there are far more better ways to gain the strength required to jump far and sprint faster.
In this video, although the focus is on weight training, we also take a look at body weight exercises that involve isometric muscular actions. Indeed we consider why strength training should embrace different muscular actions and not just the one most associated with weight training in particular - the concentric muscular action.
I forward some of the arguments as to why weight training can lack the ability to directly enhance jumping potential but I do also describe why it’s an adjunct to jump training if not a direct driver.
In terms of limitations we look at the forces generated during sprinting and jumping and the speed of movements and compare these to weight training.
However, muscles do need strength (tone too) and resilience to injury and this is where weights and other resistance training options have their benefits.
I have developed numerous jumpers over many years to achieve long jumps and few have really emphasised weight training in their schedules. So, I have a philosophy that seems to work year in year out.
We coaches have different philosophies but the key is to find out - whether you believe in weights or not - what gets results. Once you have a philosophy then you should stick to it in the main and just experiment around the periphery. I try to maintain 80% and then try/experiment with other activity for the other 20%.
This year, for example, we have done more sled work (pushing and pulling) which is in itself strength training and isometric work. We will see whether this aids performance. You’ll see the isos in the video.
Evaluation though can be difficult - hence sticking to that 80% rule as it were of a tried and tested training programme and philosophy provides confide that the results will come.
