Important Techniques of sprint Hurdling

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,Athletic store,athletic supply,athletics equipment — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:52 am

Sprint Hurdling
Hurdling is, because of its practical and energy demands, an exciting and challenging event. The technical part of hurdling is clearly much greater than in sprinting, yet the concept of the hurdles race must be one of a sprint, with change for each hurdle.

Technique:
In sprint hurdling the first hurdle is only some seven or eight strides away so the athlete must come position at the 3rd or 4th stride, much earlier than the sprinter. To enable this to occur the block spacings will have to be a little altered. When using an eight step approach the take-off foot is positioned in the front block.

Hurdle Clearance
The athletic must attack the hurdle and aim to clear it, by approx. 17 to 18 cm, as quickly and professionally as possible, raising their centre of gravity only a little more than in a usual sprint action.

Leg Action
The last stride of the method to the first hurdle is edited in order to allow the take-off leg to move fast under the hips. This ensures that a fast effective drive can be made across the hurdle. The take off distance is 1.98 metres to 2.29 metres (6½ to 7½ feet) from the hurdle. The body’s centre of significance is ahead of the foot on take off.

Action of the leading leg:

  • The knee must be picked up fast
  • The knee is driven at the hurdle
  • The lower part of the leg is left low and extends once the knee reaches the height of the barrier
  • The knee must be picked up in line with the upright centre line of the body.
  • There should be no inclination for the knee to be pulled across the body or for the lower leg to go out and round.
  • The foot of the lead leg reaches its highest point some 15 to 30 centimeters (6 to 8 inches) in front of the hurdle rail.
  • As the heel of the lead leg passes the barrier it must be pulled down and back to land under the body.
  • There is no need for the lead leg to be directly over the top of the hurdle.
  • The leg straightens as it descends towards the ground.
  • The foot of the lead leg grounds at 114 to 137 centimeters (3¾ to 4½ feet) beyond the hurdle.

Action of the trailing leg:

  • The trailing leg drives the body at the hurdle as the lead leg rises.
  • The recovery of the trail leg must begin from well behind the body if the drive is to be finished.
  • The athlete should feel the trailing knee sweeping wide and flat over the hurdle.
  • As the leg crosses the hurdle, the foot must be cocked at the ankle so that the foot does not hit the barrier.
  • After crossing the barrier, the knee continues to rise and comes round in front of the body.

Arm Action
As in sprinting, the arms act to balance the body and counter the rotations shaped by the legs. The arm opposite to the lead leg essentially leads the action into the hurdle and pushes/dives forwards as the lead leg rises. The other arm should be taken back in a usual sprinting action. As the trail leg comes round the leading arm swings back and wide to counter the rotation of the trail leg.

Running Between Hurdles
Three strides are used to cover the ground between the hurdles. To achieve this, the athlete has to modify his sprinting technique to make it fit the gap. A fast leg rhythm and a shorter stride length are needed. The athlete may have to use a lower knee lift than in normal sprinting with an emphasis on leg speed. The correct range of progress and speed can be achieved by training over hurdles that are a little closer together than normal.

Events of Track and field and its records

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,Athletic store,athletic supply,athletics equipment — Tags: , , , — admin @ 8:37 am

Track and field events are commonly individual sports with athletic challenging each other to choose a single victor. The racing events are won by the athlete with the best time, while the jumping and throwing events are won by the athlete who has achieved the maximum distance or height in the contest. The running events are categorized as sprints, middle and long-distance events,relays and hurdling.

Relay Events
Event Time Player/team Place Date
4 x 100 37.10 Jamaica Beijing, China 8/22/08
4 x 200 1:18.68 Santa Monica TC Walnut, California 4/17/94
4 x 400 2:54.29 United States Stuttgart, Germany 8/22/93
4 x 800 7:02.43 Kenya Brussels, Belgium 8/25/06
4 x 1500 14:36.23 Kenya Brussels, Belgium 9/04/09
4 x Mile+ 15:49.08 Ireland Dublin, Ireland 8/17/85

Track and field events are divided into three large categories:

1.Track events

2.Field events

3.Combined events

The majority of athletes tend to specialise in just one event with the aim of perfecting their performance, although the aim of combined events athletes is to become capable in a number of disciplines. Track events involve running on a track over particular distances and—in the case of the hurdling and steeplechase events—obstacles may be placed on the track. There are also relay races in which teams of athletes run and pass on a baton to their team associate at the end of a certain distance.


Field event:

A contest that takes place on a field rather than on a running track

There are two types of field events: jumps, and throws. In jumping competitions, sportsperson are judged on either the length or height of their jumps. The performances of jumping events for distance are calculated from a board or marker, and any athlete overstepping this mark is judged to have fouled. In the jumps for height, an athlete must clear his or her body over a crossbar without knocking the bar off the supporting standards. The best part of jumping events is unaided, although athletes push themselves vertically with purpose-built sticks in the pole vault.

Field Events
Event Time Player/Team Place Date
High Jump 2.45 | 8-0.50 Javier Sotomayor (Cuba) Salamanca, Spain 7/27/93
Pole Vault 6.13 | 20-1.25 Sergey Bubka (Ukraine) Tokyo, Japan

1.100 Meters
Usain Bolt, Jamaica, 9.58. Bolt, who was once a 200-meter athletic specialist, broke the 100-meter world mark for the third time in a thrilling fight with Tyson Gay at the World Outdoor Championships in Berlin on Aug. 16, 2009. The Jamaican pulled ahead of Gay early in the race and never let up, finishing in 9.58 seconds. The victory came accurately one year after Bolt broke the record for the second time, winning the 2008 Olympic gold medal in 9.69.

2.200 Meters

Usain Bolt, Jamaica, 19.19. Bolt broke his own world mark at the 2009 World Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he completed in 19.19 seconds on Aug. 20. He first broke Michael Johnson’s 12-year-old mark during the Olympic final accurately one year earlier, finishing in 19.30 seconds while running into a minor headwind (0.9 kilometers per hour).

3.400 Meters

Michael Johnson, USA, 43.18.Many expected Johnson to finally break Butch Reynolds mark of 43.29 seconds, set in 1988, but 1999 seemed a doubtful year for the record to fall. Johnson suffered from leg injuries that season, missed the U.S. Championships and ran only four 400-meter races before the World Championships. By the day of the World final, however, it was clear that Johnson was in top form and that Reynolds’ record was in risk. Johnson pulled away from the pack in mid-race and sprinted into the history books.

4. 800 Meters

David Rudisha, Kenya, 1:41.01.Formerrecord-holder Wilson Kipketer (1:41.11) once told David Rudisha that he could be the one to break Kipketer’s mark.Kipketer was right. Rudisha broke the record on Aug. 22, 2010, running 1:41.09 in Berlin. One week later, on Aug. 29, Rudisha lowered the mark to 1:41.01 at the IAAF World Challenge meet in Rieti, Italy.Rudisha followed his leader through quick opening laps in both runs (48.2 seconds in Rieti), then almost maintained his speed over the final 400 meters.

5.1,000 Meters

Noah Ngeny, Kenya, 2:11.96.Noah Ngeny broke Sebastian Coe’s 18-year-old world mark in a time of 2:11.96 at Rieti, Italy, on Sept. 5, 1999. The record hasn’t been critically challenged since.

Different Types of Kettle bells and its uses

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,Athletic store,athletic supply,athletics equipment,athletics shop — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:18 am

Kettlebells are a classic Russian strength implement that have enjoyed a rush of fame in the past few years. Unlike conventional barbells and dumbbells, kettlebells are projected to be swung explosively and are used to develop power as well as conditioning.

Most common types of kettlebells are:

  • Lighter vinyl coated
  • Cast Iron
  • Pro grade steel
  • Adjustable

Vinyl Coated Kettlebells
These kettlebells can be found on advertisement, sporting good stores and online. These are regularly associated with fat burning routines designed for lighter weight higher rep workouts targeting women starting out with kettlebells. There is nothing wrong what so ever with these kettlebells.

These are cast iron and vinyl or rubber coated, building them a little less rough on the hands and more visually appealing to some. If you are a beginner, looking forward to trying kettlebells and going to use basic swings and movements, this is a completely sensible place to start.

Cast Iron Kettlebells
The normal black iron kettlebell you see is the cast iron bell. This is a huge all purpose kettlebell and can work just fine for men and women looking for cardio and muscular endurance. They come in all sizes ranging from 8 Kilos to 48 kilos. While the cast iron kettlebell is virtually permanent, cast iron is somewhat breakable and could crack if dropped hard enough on hard surfaces or dropped over and over.

Under normal conditions, working out at home you would tough pressed to damage an iron kettlebell. One of the main drawbacks to the cast iron kettlebell is the different sizes and handles. This will most likely never be a problem if you are only doing the one or two hand swing with one kettlebell. These swings alone are effectual fat loss kettlebell exercises.

Different sizes for realistic purposes means, a lighter kettlebell is smaller in size than a heavier bell and the handle is normally thinner at lighter weights and gets really thick at heavier weights. Where this affects you most is in the exercises when you are using two kettlebells at once, such as cleans, snatch, presses etc.. The reason this is a disadvantage will become apparent the first time you do these exercises and change weights.

Pro Grade Kettle bells
The pro grade kettlebells are top of the line. The main difference with pro grade bells is reliability in size and handle. The 8 kilo kettlebell is the same size as the 48 kilo bell. The handles are the same thickness and the same distance from the weight of the bell. In theory, if you pick up a pair of kettlebells and perform a movement, then move to a heavier weight, the only thing changing is the weight of the bell.

Adjustable Kettlebells
There are many different types of adjustable kettlebells. These can be found in the pattern of the cast iron bells and in the pro grade kettlebells. Others look like a stack of rounded weights, which can be familiar with the turn of a dial. Some are hollow and have a large screw in the bottom. This allows the user to place their own payload into the bell.

The plus to this method is the total control over the weight you add. The disadvantage could be the dynamic shift of the weight you place inside the hollow bell. It would be advisable to try out the adjustable kettlebells to get a feel for the different shapes. You may find one or more very tight to work with. The more square shape adjustable kettlebells could be very uncomfortable in cleans and snatches.

Starting Blocks Technique – Sprint Starting

Filed under: athletic gear,athletic goods,Athletic store,athletic supply,athletics equipment,athletics shop,sports equipment suppliers — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:39 am

The start of a sprint race is that part of the race from the firing of the gun to the departure from the starting blocks and the term generally includes the first strides out of the blocks.

STARTING OBJECTIVES

The principal purpose of the sprint start is to ease quick clearance from the blocks and speeding up to maximum speed. There are a number of large objectives of the sprint start. Firstly, the athlete must create a balanced position in the starting blocks. He must also make sure that suitable force is applied to the blocks.

There must be right positioning of the body in the blocks to ensure that the hips rise to the same height each time. The athlete must establish a foot position which enables him to come out of the blocks well balanced and with the best possible velocity, as he moves into full sprinting position. Finally the athlete must effort to clear the starting blocks in the shortest possible time after the firing of the starters gun.

TYPES OF STARTS

There are three main types of starting positions for the sprint start. The principle difference between these starts is basically the horizontal distance between the front and back feet of the athlete.

1. The Bunch Start : (Sometimes referred to as the Bullet start) This is where the feet are close together with the toes of the back foot opposite the heel of the front foot. Sometimes the feet are even closer together. This would generally involve a block spacing of less than 30cm.

2. The Medium Start : the feet are further apart. The knee of the back leg is placed reverse a point towards the toes of the front foot. The inter-block distance of this start has been described as about shin length apart. Arnold (1992) describes a position many athletes use these days which is a little less than shin length apart, but not so closes as to call a Bunch or Bullet start.

3. Elongated Start : the knee of the back leg is placed level or just behind the heel of the front foot. It has been described as a position where the inter-block distance is well in excess of shin length. An inter-block distance in excess of 50cm could be described as an elongated start.

BLOCK ANGLES
Much has been written and discussed about distance between front and back blocks, but ignores the effect of differing block angles. A recent study by Guissard, Duchateau Hainaut 1992 has shown that variation in block angles can have a profound effect on starting velocities. In the study 17 athletes used their own preferred distance between blocks and starting line. They all used a rear block angle of 70 degrees, but tested three angles with the front block: 30, 50 70 degrees.

FOOT POSITION
In order to get more pre-tension in the calf muscles, the first spikes of both feet should be positioned on the track. With pre-stretched calf muscles, it is possible to get a more efficient start. If the body mass is centred more on the legs than on the arms, pre-tension may be increased.

DISTANCE FROM STARTING LINE
In deciding the distance between the front foot and the starting line, (Barbaro 1983) mentions that weight distribution, hip position and the effect of foot drive must be considered. If the front foot is too close to the starting line, much of the body weight will rest on it and the knee angle will be less than 90 degrees. This will result in an ineffective front foot drive.
