How they work & suggested protocols #jump Description: It's all about helping you better understand the myriad of conditioning options which are available to jumpers (and sprinters) I look at: Drop jumps, Triphasic training, Assisted plyometrics, French Contrast Training Complex/Contrast Training, Downhill eccentric focus, Technical training How muscles are activated when jumping By looking at these methods and supporting information it's hoped you will gain a better insight into how they work and how to select the best options for your training programming.

Key is the absorption of the impact and return of force. Verkhoshansky recommends 0.70cm drops for speed emphasis and 1.10m for a strength emphasis with drop jumps. However, my experiences says that these may be too high. You need to tailor the drop to the ability and age and level of maturation of your jumpers and look for undue yielding at the knee. I am a strong advocate of drop jumps. Verkhoshansky believed that adding weight to a drop jump would have no added benefits. 3.04min: Importance of the eccentric component of the jump I talk about the multiples of body weight that the triple jumper needs to overcome ... Improving eccentric capacity and force return is therefore vital. Downhill plyos and jumping downs steps/stairs can improve eccentric capacity. 4.01min Biomechanical loading in the triple jump I talk about pre-activation and which muscles are important for developing eccentric capacity. Gastrocnemius, hip extensors, hamstrings and vastus lateralis (outer portion of thigh part of the quadriceps). It's important to understand what muscles we need to focus on and why. Specific muscles are key to controlling landing forces and then returning them. 5.31min: Research looking at how to break the men's world TJ record. I present this in order that you can see what jump and other performance indicators are believed to be necessary for achieving the above goal. Study the contents of the table so that you can see where you or your athletes may sit in terms of the various identified qualities. Research c/o of Qintic https://www.quinticsports.com/quintic-biomechanics/ 6.16min Potentiation Many of the jumps conditioning options considered involve potentiation (as much as the individual importance of the exercises). Over time the neuromuscular system will adapt to being able to apply increasing amounts of force due to the enhanced stiulation. 7.28min Triphasic Training "All dynamic muscular action is triphasic, the entire point of the triphasic method is learning how to isometrically and eccentrically absorb energy before applying it to explosive dynamic movements." Cal Dietz I am a big believer in using triphasic methods. 8.20min:Complex/Contrast Training & French Contrast Training I'm not such a fan of FCT ... I have found that this method can place a lot of strain on the jumper. I prefer contrast and complex training. I use higher and lower intensity jump training at all times across the training year. There will be a degree of periodisation but I believe it is important to work at the higher end all year round, 9.24min Assistend plyos (obvioulsy the jumper needs to be ready for this) These use bands and harnesses to reduce the weight of the jumper. They mechanically pull the jumper up more quickly from the ground contact. Research presented shows that the concentric phase can be increased in terms of speed whilst the eccentric component remains largely unaffected. Research presented on volleyball players showed that assisted plyometrics improved counter-movement jump and spiking ability above plyometrics alone. It's improvement to vertical velocity which we are after - in terms of that force return - and it seems these methods can achieve this. Further research which indicates that specific assisted plyo machines may offer slight advances over using bands. I mention Nelio Moura (elite coach - 2 Olympic long jump champions) and an advocate of assisted plyos - indeed he has done a lot of research) 11.30min More on the importance of being able to generate improved vertical velocity 11.38min Leg Stiffness Research on drop jumps and pre-activation and more on which muscles are recruited. Drop jumps elicit similar responses to the triple jump research previously noted. The activation was noted as taking place before the feet hit the ground in the specific muscles identified. 13.05min Individualised conditioning How different triple jumping styles (jump/hop dominant, for example) can influence jumper conditioning. 14.49min Summing up #trackandfield #jump #longjump #triplejump Affiliate Links ANTEPES MUSCLE RUNNERS GET 10% off! https://antepes.com/JOHNSHEPHERD </video> <video> LONG JUMP technique - How to improve TAKE-OFF A focus on the SWING leg Description: I take a look at the crucial role of the swing leg when it comes to long jump technique.

Drills & SPRINTS - for JUMPERS and SPRINTERS #sprint Description: Be analytical In this coaching “uncut” video you’ll see and hear me work with the jumpers and sprinters in my group. It’s important to be able to identify technical issues and crucially be able to be able to correct them. You’ll see various issues re drill performance,for example, and lots of interesting athlete differences. As a coach the remedy you give to one athlete may not work for another. It’s a constant ebb and flow for developing athletes. In many ways these athletes are the hardest to coach and many say the coaches who do a good job at this level with are the better coaches! You will probably identify some of the problems that you have - so,I hope that what you’ll see and hear from me will help you.

The sessions are included in training blocks 2&3 before the indoor season and then they return post indoors for a block. We’ll do once a week. The whole workout in fact has a med ball focus as there are also drop jump and throw combination drills and some more strength and balance orientated inclusions. Why? 🤔 I use these workouts as a further way to bridge the transfer gap and to check speed development. We train very specifically and in extremis this could result in sprinting every workout. Obviously that would not be progressive long-term. However, over the years I have found that you can train above 90% most of the time for significant parts of training sessions. Group members get used to it. So, the med ball work (particularly that shown) has a high power output but is slightly “slower” than similar work without the med ball. By mixing and matching workouts across progressive training block you can create much specific adaptation. This will not only be physical 💪 but also neural 🧠. You have to train the central nervous system specifically- failure to do so could lead to slow outputs. More of that in another post or two. Slow training will dent power production. And if you think you’re moving fast in many cases you won’t be as the guys found out last night. I gave them a little telling off for settling into a comfortable speed… #coaching #speed #cns #jump #run #explosive #longjump #triplejump Affiliate Links & Products ANTEPES MUSCLE RUNNERS GET 10% off! https://antepes.com/JOHNSHEPHERD GREAT READS! 101 Youth Athletics Drills by Me!!! https://amzn.to/3PK5iQo Triple Jump TrailBlazers Book By Benns & Harvey https://amzn.to/3LxgPjg The Horizontal Jumps: Planning for Long Term Development: Volume 1 Paperback By Nick Newman https://amzn.to/3EMETuV Great Kit Speed Bands https://amzn.to/3EMA5FR ----------------------------------------- FREELAP TIMING SYSTEM If you are interested in finding more about this highly portable and accurate to 2/1000th sec timing system including prices, then please contact me @ johnshepherdfitness@gmail.com SEE ALSO https://youtu.be/xfWMQH7yg_0 for a short video on the system. ------------------------------- GET MORE JUMPS & SPRINTS KNOWLEDGE THE JUMPER Digital jumps and sprints magazine.
