Am primit acest news letter de la 'stiintificii lumii sportive', iar subjectul m-o trimis cu gandul la prof. Victor Mociani si confratii sai (Coca Florescu +, Dany Popper, inimoasele D.ne Arety si Emilia de la Edc. Sport-Turism, C. Vlase, Dinamo s.a.); ei sunt primii care au descifrat+formulat tainele efortului ciclic propriu canotajului academic si apoi, acest val de stiinta sportiva, s-a raspandit, intai la cei de la Caiak/Canoe, apoi la noi la Inot si in mod ciudat - la rusi [ in 1983, la un cantnament comun la altitudine (Tzahkadzor, Armenia, 2000m) 'nacialnicii' au fost intrebati, evident de cine... de mine, 'care este zonarea efortului' etc.; dupa clipa de surprindere, rusii s-au consultat si au promis ca a 2-a zi voi avea intreaga documentatie - asa a si fost, doar ca la cap. explicatii, ei au relatat ca conceptul zonarii efortului il au de la canotorii lor ...., si adaugand, 'aia' l-au luat de la canotorii vostri ... m-am gandit 'adanc'..."ce mica-i lumea" !]
Si iata ca subiectul apare din nou, pe 'tapet', in sarcina specialistilor occidentali, deja in mare fierbere cu tot ce se leaga de JO 2012, Londra.


Dar spre deosebire de graficul oferit de 'stiintificii lumii'....., glumesc..., 'N' la 'noi' este un 'U' asa cum este conceput de scormonitorii efortului ciclic (Mociani, Florescu, Popper) si chiar de subsemnatul, independent de ei.. dar cu ajutorul Dr. Mircea Razush /'pe unde o mai umbla acest fanatic cercetatoor...'?
Deh, asa se scrie istoria si acum multi vitezi se arata.... ; pacat de noi, romanii, modesti si lipsiti de sprijin autentic - le-am prescris natura efortului inca de acum 30-40 de ani..... Of Doamne...?!

Delays and canoe sprint world champs from Poland

Delays and canoe sprint world champs from Poland Posted: 21 Aug 2010 03:11 AM PDT The Sprint Canoe World Championships in Poland - poor pacing costs golds Well, it's been a long time between posts, please accept my apologies. I will blame: a) burn-out (leading to writer's block!) after the Tour de France and FIFA World Cup, b) A backlog of work after the Tour de France and FIFA World Cup, c) a relatively quiet period for global sport, at least in terms of insights and analysis and not necessarily in that order... Canoe Sprint World Championships Then most recently, and as I type this, I am in Poland, specifically a town called Poznan, where I am attending the International Canoe Federation (ICF) Canoe Sprint World Championships. I've been fortunate enough to be assisting a small group of our SA sprinters, first to help set up at high performance system, then helping where I can with physiological preparation and overall high performance strategy, and I've come over here to get a feel for the regatta in the lead-up to the main goal, the London Olympic Games of 2012. So far, so good - an A final in the K2 500m tomorrow, and the heats and semi-finals in the K2 200m later today. For those interested in reading more, the coach, Marcus Melck's site can be found here, and our two top sprinters, Shaun Rubenstein and Mike Arthur, have their own websites, which you can read here (Shaun) and here (Mike), respectively. A great deal has been done for these guys in the last 12 months, from the laboratory, onto the water, back into the labs, and much still has to be done between now and the Games. Perhaps when it is over (with a medal the result, I hope!), it will make a great case study for high performance sporting systems in an environment (South Africa) where support and HP expertise from the top is minimal, and in a sport where resources are scarce. Also, sprint kayaking offers plenty of fascinating sports science applications, ranging from hydrodynamics to technique, biomechanics, pacing strategies, strength and conditioning and performance analysis, so it has been a very stimulating year, culminating here in Poznan on route to London! Insights from Poznan - kayaking off the pace as a commercial entity I've gained some really important insights over the last week, and have a number of thoughts on topics ranging from marketing and commercialization of the sport of kayaking, all the way to physiological preparation. Sprint kayaking has a personality crisis, because it has never succeeded at making its stars accessible to sports followers outside of a small circle of enthusiasts. For example, if you are reading this in South Africa, you either now Shaun and Mike as Olympic medal hopefuls, or you've never heard their names. The only factor that determines which camp you fall into is whether you yourself are a paddler - those who paddle, know, those who do not have probably stopped reading! And this is a failure of marketing. Now, having experienced a regatta, and one which is supposedly at the very highest level (it is the World Championships, after all), it's clear that the problems are related to a myopic approach from within the sport. There are barriers, certainly - 80% of a 1000m race is virtually impossible to watch as a spectator, so the competition doesn't come alive nearly enough. The distances between fans and athletes makes identification and interaction with paddlers difficult. However, I've been very fortunate to have attended other big events, and experienced them from both 'inside the ropes' and 'outside the ropes', and the ICF would do well to learn from events like the Tour de France, and most notably in my experience, Sevens Rugby, in terms of how the competition provides a platform for a bigger entertainment event and for its athletes. The TV coverage is narrow and poor, and resembles what other sports were doing in the late 1980s, and this restricts media coverage, sponsorship potential, and spectator interest. But enough of that, that is a topic for marketing discussions some day. Pacing strategy - how good pacing wins gold medals Of more interest scientifically is an observation on the pacing strategy adopted by the very best paddlers in the world. This is a topic "straight out of the oven", because I've just watched the final of the Men's K1 1000m event, one of the premier events at the regatta. Take a look at the graph below, and then we'll chat about the very, very different strategies employed by the eventual gold medalist, Max Hoff (the blue line), and the silver medalist, Tim Brabants, of the UK, shown in red. Bronze medalist Aleh Yurenia is shown in green. So the race was won by Max Hoff of Germany, in a time of 3:29.544, only 0.5s ahead of Tim Brabants. But the real story was Hoff's comeback over the final quarter of the race. I was standing more or less 100m from the finish line, and I can assure you that Brabants was still in the lead at that point. The light blue text boxes show the gap between Brabants and Hoff for each 250m interval. Brabants led at 250m, a full 0.88 seconds ahead of Hoff. The fast start is typical of the event, and recent research backs this strategy as optimal for events lasting about 3 minutes. The Belarussian was in 9th at that point, over 2 seconds down. Then, Brabants' lead grew by 0.32s up to halfway, which he hit in 1:42.19, compared to 1:43.39 for Hoff (1.2 seconds down). From 500m to 750m, Brabants continued to pull away, adding a further 0.78s to his lead. By now, with 250m left to race, he is 2 seconds clear of Hoff, more than a boat length (see video later). Hoff's finish, Brabants is finished - pacing pays at the end All the while, paddlers I'm standing with are saying that this is typical of Brabants, who always goes out very hard and then hangs on. In terms of pacing, however, it is foolish. The problem is not necessarily a fast start. In fact, a recent study by Andrew Jones found that in events lasting 3 minutes, a fast start optimizes performance, possibly through its effects on oxidative energy contributions, which spares glycolytic energy supplies for the end-spurt. Rather, the problem is the interval from 250m to 750m, where Brabants pushed on, opening a lead over all the rivals - watch the video below and you'll see this. Now, we know that in virtually every single type of sport, as soon as the event lasts between 3 and 5 minutes, the optimal pacing strategy is a fast start, then a slowing in the middle and an increase at the end, so that the two halves are close to even, but there is an "inverted U-shape" (which you see Hoff and Yurenia achieve in this race above, whereas Brabants gets slower and slower. You may not think it's much, but he loses by just 0.5 seconds - it's plenty). This is why the first and final laps of mile and 1500m world records are significantly faster than the middle two laps. When races are short, like a men's 400m or 800m run, or the men's 200m or 500m kayaking event, then it's different - the best strategy then is to go out hard and accept some kind of deterioration at the end of a race. Longer races, like men's 5000m and 10000m running events, the marathon, the Tour, all benefit from even pace, or even a slower start, with an 'endspurt' in the final kilometer. It's not co-incidence, for example, that in 24 of 25 World Records over 10,000m, the fastest kilometer has come at the very end of the race! But for an event lasting 3 to 4 minutes, like the 4000m cycling pursuit, a 1500m run, or this K1 1000m kayak event, the optimal way to race is to hold reserve over the first half and then finish almost as fast as you begin. Brabants did not - his first 250m was 4 seconds faster than he was able to achieve at the end of the race. The eventual result was a first half that took 1:42, a second half that took 1:48 (six seconds positive). Hoff, meanwhile, cut the race into a 1:43 and a 1:46 (3 second positive split). These are tiny margins for error, of course - 1 second over 500m, but I have little doubt that had Brabants conserved even 1 second on the second or third 250m split, he would have greater reserve capacity that would have allowed him to hold on over a fast finishing Hoff. The strategy above is simply not the way that physiology says one should race. Why then would it happen? Because individuals have preferences for how they race for psychological reasons, they like to "front-run", or they prefer to chase. But at this level, errors in pacing are so costly that this has to almost be trained out of the athlete. Brabants did not need a boat-and-a-half lead over Hoff with 250m to go. He perhaps needed (or wanted) one boat length, and the energy conserved by that second might have made the difference to the colour of the medal he received only 30 minutes ago. Hoff, meanwhile, did it exactly right. And here's the thing - the Germans are all racing this way. Every single race featuring a German paddler sees them move through the field, while seemingly everyone else is producing enormous positive splits. Are they the only ones who have figured out how to pace a race? From what I've seen here, it would seem so...And we are not so different that each individual has an optimal pacing strategy. Yes, some are better at sustaining faster starts than others, some are better at kicking later in races. Much of this is psychological, I feel, but there are likely physiological reasons too. But these physiological differences are not so large that anyone can get away with vastly different strategies. For some reason, Germany have figured this out and are winning races that physiologically, they might otherwise have lost. The video of the race is below - apologies for the language, I can't find an english one. But note the gaps that Brabants builds from 250m to 750m, and then at about 3:00 into the race, watch how the stroke rates change, as Hoff builds and kicks, Brabants begins a slow decline that almost sees the Belarussian take silver. Pacing pays...ask Max Hoff. More to come in the next few days! Ross The Science of Sport Dr. Ross Tucker Dr. Jonathan Dugas

"Mirciulica"...,

Multumesc pentru"noutatile stiintifice" .....ce le-am elaborat la inceputul anilor '70 si datorita acestei "gaselnite romanesti" - FISA a introdus cronometrajul intermediar pe distanta de concurs. Noi, canotajul academic, am abordat un mod logic de parcurgere distantei de concurs rezultat din determinarea resurselor energetice care asigura deplasarea pe distanta de concurs. De aici si modelul "cele cinci degete"pe care le-ai scris si in cartea ta. Modelul determinat pentru canotaj am facut-o printr-o speculatie matematica "proiectia inversa acurbei logaritmice a lui Zatiorski"din punctul in care este situata proba de canotaj. De altfel aceasta este valabila la toate sporturile ce se deplaseaza in timp si spatiu, deci si la voi, la inot .... Curbele aratate corect ar fi sa arate ca un "U" si nu ca un "N", asa cum este prezentat in materialul pe care mi l-ai trimis. Pe axa verticala de jos ar trebui sa inceapa cu timpii cei mai slabi si spre varful ei timpii cei mai buni.......si atunci se poate vedea ca: - la primul 1/4 al cursei se inregistreaza timpul cel mai bun, - la 1/2 mai slab, - la 3/4 egal sau putin + ori - fata de 1/2, - iar la sosire din nou se apropie de valoarea primului 1/4. Inchipuieti un lighean de spalat taiat in doua marginea la taietura arata ca un "U" ceva mai desfacut. Acest lucru este determinat de intrarea in actiune a diferitelor resurse energetice de care dispune sportivul sau care pe parcursul distante se resintetizeaza... dar nu e cazul sa tin acum o expunere pe acesata tema.

Programe de antrenament

de actualitate la JO: se cam mira unii ca ditama-i fosti campioni europeni sau chiar mondiali nu prea se arata pe podium.... una din explicatii ar fi ca, anterior, unele clasamente, unele performante au fost facute cam 'fraudulos' [stiti la ce ma refer..] si acum nu se  mai poate, ca 'controlul e cat casa'; eu am mai trait aasemenea situatii cand eram activ.... 'prietenii stiu dece'....

Dear Athlete, Whatever sport or event you compete in, the following statement is a given: To be a winner today, you need strength. And lots of it. I’m not talking about pumping iron to get the biggest muscles you possibly can. (Because big muscles won’t necessarily make you strong.) For rapid, measurable improvement to your performance, you need to focus on building solid levels of strength, and then converting that strength into explosive athletic power. The stronger your muscles, the more forceful your contractions... The faster you will run, higher you will jump, further you will throw or kick, and the harder you will hit. Pretty straightforward, really. You only have to look at pro athletes like Didier Drogba or Rafael Nadal to see the benefits of strength training. These guys know that building up their strength – and maintaining it throughout the season – will make them unbeatable and capable of delivering top-level performances time and time again. They aren’t bodybuilders. They don’t spend their days lifting weights purely to make them look good. What they know, crucially, is that there’s no better way to ensure they perform to their utmost potential when it comes to the crunch. And you can too. Condition your body with strength training and you’ll not only increase your performance potential, but you’ll protect yourself from injury at the same time. (Plus, add much-needed variety to your training, too.) My new Complete Strength Training Pack – available for instant download – includes 11 ready-made, printable workouts and an expert training guide for you to increase strength in your:   Core   Arms   Back   Chest   Shoulders   Legs Plus, you’ll develop your all-over muscular endurance too, meaning you can sustain high intensity work for longer periods, with less fatigue. We’ve made this training pack suitable for all athletes, so you can achieve optimum strength whatever your sport or ability. And it has input from international-level coaches and training experts, who use these methods with their own clients, so you can be sure that they work... Claim your pack now – or read on to find out more... 11 challenging workouts to increase your muscle mass, strength and power Strength is not just a requirement of heavy-duty sports like rugby... It’s the basis for optimal speed, agility and power. Sprinters... swimmers... even cyclists need to strength train. Essentially, you won’t get very far in your sport without incorporating it into your year-round conditioning. At some point, you’ll stop seeing improvements and hit the dreaded ‘plateau’. But simply developing non-specific base strength can significantly boost your performance and fitness levels. So to get you started right away, I’ve put 11 pre-prepared workouts in the Complete Strength Training Pack. Through performing new exercises you’ve not tried before, you’ll shock your muscles into growth but without adding any extra ‘bulk’. Each workout takes a strand of strength development – such as lower body or chest and back – and targets those muscles through specific movements. The 11 workouts included in your pack are: Supersets Training (2 parts) Use hypertrophy (growth) workouts, which utilise pre-exhaust super-sets, to develop muscle size in the upper and lower body, as part of a weekly split routine. Resistance Training (2 parts) Develop your all-round muscular endurance with these weighted exercises, which incorporates one TRX-based resistance training workout. Dumbbell Exercises (3 parts)Develop all-round muscular endurance (the ability to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time) using this series of 3 dumbbell workouts. Ideal for endurance athletes and team sports players. Lower Body StrengthDevelop muscle size in your legs and strengthen your core, as part of a weekly split routine, using basic weight room equipment. Muscle Building: Chest & BackDevelop muscle size in the chest and back, as part of a weekly split routine, with exercises that use free and fixed weights and an exercise bench. Muscle Building: Arms & ShouldersDevelop muscle size in the arms and shoulders, as part of a weekly split routine. Multidirectional Strength and Movement TrainingDevelop strength in different planes in order to achieve a variety of movements, using exercises such as Turkish Get-Ups and Half Moons. There’s no planning involved; it’s already been done for you. Simply download and print off the workouts you want to try, and build them in around the rest of your training. They come with full instructions, reps and sets, and detailed step-by-step descriptions of the exercises. Plus, you won’t find them anywhere else online. They’ve been created especially for us, by a range of top sports coaches. And that’s just the beginning of what you’ll receive in your pack... Claim your 11 strength training workouts now – or read on to find out more. These little-known expert ‘secrets’ will take your strength training to elite levels... With so much conflicting advice on strength training doing the rounds online, it can be hard to know where to start. Naturally, your biggest concern is how reliable training methods are, or what results they can produce. That’s why your Complete Strength Training Pack also includes an authoritative training guide, packed with little-known, proven tweaks and tips that’ll take your training that little bit further. Best of all, most athletes and coaches are largely unaware of them. Inside your guide, you’ll find out strength training ‘secrets’ like this: The golden formula for weight training sessions that build up maximum strength and power (hint - variety is the key) Cracking the code of exercise choice: how to select the movements that make a real difference to performance, and which are a waste of your time How training a particular muscle fibre will quickly have you sprinting for the finish line at lightning speed Why the quality, not quantity, of your training is the key to generating explosive power – see where your coach has been advising you incorrectly Optimum training combinations that increase average one repetition maximum (1RM) performance for squats to 140.5kg, and depth jumps to 144.5kg Six top weight training tips every athlete needs to know – don’t hit the gym until you’ve read them! All the important bases are covered in your guide, from how to design a well structured training programme, to exercises for strengthening any desired muscle group in your body. There are even suggested sessions for keeping up your training when on vacation. Every single contributor to this guide has extensive, hands-on experience in the sports training field (from club to Olympic level), and in-depth knowledge of what really works – and what doesn’t – for producing that extra edge. And their advice is backed up by concrete evidence from scientific trials, case studies and day-to-day professional practice. They include: James Marshall MSc, CSCS, ACSM/HFI, runs Excelsior, a sports training company. John Shepherd MA, a specialist health, sport and fitness writer and a former international long jumper. Phil Gardiner, a United Kingdom Athletics (UKA) Level 4 coach. Raphael Brandon MSc, a sports conditioning and fitness specialist. He is also London Region Strength and Conditioning Coach for the English Institute of Sport. In other words, you get world-class conditioning tips direct from the people in the know, which you can adapt to meet your specific needs. Frankly, you won’t find a more practical, comprehensive guide to unleashing your full strength potential, or enhancing your overall fitness. Certainly not one without a hefty price tag. Apply these tried-and-tested approaches to your own training and you’ll quickly see that a set of strong, flexible muscles can not only withstand competitive sport far better than the non-strength trained, but can reach new heights of sporting success. Only then will you be propelled from your current position right to the top of the winner’s podium, where you belong. Start building unbeatable levels of strength – get access to these tips now. Make strength training part of your strategy for unbeatable performance... Too many athletes and coaches seem to be caught up in a ‘bigger and heavier is better’ strategy when it comes to training with weights. But rather than help you run that few seconds quicker or throw that few metres further, having too much bulk on your frame is more likely to slow you down. (There’s a reason why a bodybuilder could never run as fast as Usain Bolt.) Your aim is not to lift the heaviest weight possible for the highest number of times... but to build a solid strength base that can then be channelled into faster sprints, higher or longer jumps, and tougher tackles. This is exactly what the workouts and tips in your Complete Strength Training Pack will help you achieve. Fine-tuning the power exerted from the muscles you use most, in movements and positions that replicate those of actual competition, will make that vital difference. Whether you are an endurance athlete, or one who relies on short, sharp blasts of speed and power, you need to tailor your weight training to the demands of your specific sport. And as the tips and techniques in this pack remain, in large part, unknown to most athletes and coaches, you’ll have a distinct advantage over most of your fellow competitors. Remember to savour the looks on their faces when you next compete! Take your strength and power levels to the max – get your training pack now.
