The Art of Sprinting: Techniques for Speed and Performance

Product Information

Book Sprints facilitates your experts to aggregate knowledge, turn it into clear information and publish it fast.

You will find that the goal of the first series will offer high school coaches and athletes basic instructions on sprint techniques, sprint training, sprint starts, and sprint finishes. For sprint training, I like McFarlane’s book that was mentioned above and CF’s book is very insightful as well. I highly recommend Speed strength for all coaches, whether you regard yourself in the outdated S + C coach title, a technical coach, or a tactical coach.In my mid-20’s I had the “prettiest” sprinting form by anyone’s standards, yet I would get dusted by my athletes when we ran flat out sprints together. Having the knowledge to use these differences to the benefit of the athlete is a skill that Joel highlights brilliantly in this book. Drawing on the expertise of some of the world's leading coaches and sport science professionals, the book presents a detailed analysis of the latest evidence and explores the ways in which science has influenced, and subsequently improved, the sport of sprinting. Consideration is given to the development of detailed training programmes involving both the lightning pace of the 100m and 200m and the more controlled pace of the 400m. The item was shipped fast and was nicely packaged in a very thick paper mailing envelope and arrived as scheduled in perfect used condition.

Whether you are an athlete looking to better understand training, or a coach looking to expand your toolbox, I highly advise checking this book out. To learn the specifics of the other books in the Charlie Francis "Key Concepts " series, please read "The Structure of Training for Speed ", "Training for Power and Strength in Speed ", "Super Compensation and Recovery " and "High Intensity Training – Expanding the Limits of Performance ".There were a number of others including some series covering all track and field events in some depth but quite a few are out of print and getting very hard to find.

By providing an overview of the principles of sport science and how these are applied in practice, the book is essential reading for students and academics, coaches and performers, physiotherapists, club doctors and professional support staff working in the sport. This series will help you breakdown the way you coach certain events, and it will help you understand how to utilize workouts to help you reach your full potential.This is a Book That Covers All the Topics Associated with Sprinting, and is Based on Cutting-Edge Coaching Practice, Practical Experience and Results.
