Transcript of Speed as a skill!! Munster Coaching Conference April 2008 Pat Flanagan BA PhysEd, MSc.
Aims of Workshop
To explain the basis for making speed work an integral part of your training programme
To demonstrate some speed practices/drills with and without the ball
Specifically the following will be addressed: Physiology of Speed Aspects of Speed Planning and Periodisation for speed
Outcomes
Coaches will have a better understanding of what speed means
Coaches will review their current planning for speed
Coaches will include more specific speed drills into their sessions
Younger Players
Are not mini-adults Pre and post puberty and growth spurt Poor temperature control Poor anaerobic capacity ABC,s (Athleticism/agility, Balance,
Coordination, Speed Concentrate on fun and skill Should play a variety of sports (14/15)

Muscle Fibres: Slow Twitch
Energy efficient Low power generation Difficult to fatigue Many mitochondria Posture, walking, jogging Highly oxygenated Low activation threashold
Fast Twitch
High power output Fatigues easily Thick Less mitochondria Sprinting, jumping, kicking Does not need oxygen High activation threashold
Fast Twitch A
High power output Fatigues slowly for a FT Thick Less mitochondria 40 to 300 metres Does not need oxygen but can use it Highish activation threshold
Fast Twitch B
Very high power output Fatigues rapidly Thick Less mitochondria 1-40 metres Does not use oxygen High activation threshold
Motor Neurons
Slow twitch neurons, thin, recruited first, fatigue resistant, low threshold, slow conductivity
Fast Twitch neurons, thick, recruited second, fatigue easily, high threshold, high conductivity

Reaction/Power
Standing starts Moving on spot starts Lying down Holding start React to ball starts Starts with harness Combination
Speed Endurnce (Short/Long) Strides..Technique Acceleration runs Shuttle runs Hollow sprints Parachute runs Zig-zag runs Hill training Three Man Weave
Deceleration/Direction Change Strides with Swerve Acceleration runs Shuttle runs Reaction Drills Parachute runs Zig-zag runs Hill training Three Man Weave
Basic Speed
Downhill running Parachute release Towing Wind assisted Practice being fast Staggered races
