Description
Acceleration Training for Team Sport Athletes explains how acceleration training is crucial in team sports, because it is common for athletes to accelerate from a stationary position or a low-velocity position during a game. This presentation will cover why acceleration training is different for team sport athletes than traditional track and field athletes, and how to train acceleration optimally in a team sport setting. You’ll learn various methods of acceleration training, from force-dominant, velocity-dominant, and power-dominant exercises, as well as specific and non-specific modalities.
