2. Presented by Marc Scriven

3. Welcome & Introduction Housekeeping. Overview of the session The difference in opinion. How do you train an athlete using the S continuum - look in the box! The strength & conditioning team. The athletes. The PKC. Warm up.

4. Box Squat.

5. Aims and Objectives To improve the communication channels between the lead and the S&C coach’s resulting in more effective programming. The primary objective is to grant a lead coach clear understanding of the ‘S Continuum’, and the training implications associated with each phase. Demonstrate ‘The Coach’s Eye’ Guidelines.

6. UW interdisciplinary team

7. The Plan,Do, Review Coaching Process Gather information Analyse and understand Programme Constructed Implementation Reflection Adapted from Lyle (2002 )

8. Operational Procedure Understand the demands of the sport. Understand the needs of the athlete. SDC- needs analysis, the coaches eye. ODC- Par-Q, Testing: FMS,body fat, strength & power, athleticism. Agree individual and or team objectives (goals) Programme Construction. Programme Implementation. Re test & evaluate. Reflection.

10. Cause and Effect. The S Continuum StructureStrengthStrength - speed Speed - Strength Speed

11. Definitions Structure…Size, weight, BF,LMM. Strength… the ability to exert force. (Baechle and Earle, 2008) Speed… usually refers to the time taken to cover a given distance (Jeffreys 2013) Power… the time rate of doing work. (McGinnis 2005)

12. Structure You wont get a race horse out of two cart horses.!

13. Or can You!! What is the athletes limiting factor for improved performance? Is spending time getting a 180kg squatter to 200kg worthwhile, or is time better spent enabling the same athlete to move 130kg faster and more explosively? Strength

20. The Practical Importance of Strength Speed & Speed Strength Stronger athletes can apply more force at the critical points resulting in superior performance Application of force (i.e. acceleration) at critical points during a movement result in superior performance

21. SO…How do you train an athlete using the S continuum ?

Nerve conduction velocity’sRepetition (rep):Principle of individual variability. Intrinsic muscle toleranceSetsPrinciple of recovery. Intramuscular coordination of muscle fibres Training intensityPrinciple of initial values. Intramuscular coordination of muscle groups Training volume:Principle of reversibility. Motor learning patternsRepetition Maximum (RM):Principle of demonising returns. Repetition Tempo:Principle of overtraining. Rest IntervalPrinciple Quality vs. Quantity

25. The Coaches Eye Please write freely your impressions / appraisal of the named athlete thinking about what you are actually seeing in training and competition now, and is there disparity as regard what you’d like to see in the future. This information will better inform S&C training post formal needs analysis. On completion, please pass to S&C Coach. Thank you.
