Title: Weight Training for Track


1
Weight Training for Track Field Athletes
  • Presented bySarah Hoffman
  • M.A. Exercise Science-University of South Dakota
  • CSCS (Certified Strength Conditioning
    Specialist)

2
OVERVIEW
  • Core Strength its importance
  • Progression of lifting
  • Teaching proper lifting technique
  • The Different types of lifts
  • Varying lifts weights
  • Different types of weight training
  • The Dos Donts of USD Track Field

3
Starting SimpleBody weight exercises
  • Push-ups
  • Pull-ups
  • Sit-ups
  • Leg lifts on bar
  • Pillar holds
  • Pillar lifts

4
Core Strength its IMPORTANCE
  • If you cant hold your body in theses proper
    positions how are you suppose to do it while
    running, jumps, or throwing?

5
Progression of core strength
6
Developing arm, back, shoulder strength for a
beginner athlete
7
Progression of arm, back, shoulder strength
continued
8
Developing Beginners lower leg strength
  • BALANCE is STRENGTH
  • Make sure when squatting that the knee does not
    go over your toe
  • When your knee goes past your toe, it causes all
    the pressure to be focused on the knee

9
Lunge Matrix A lower leg strength progression
  • Focus on posture
  • Make sure foot/ground contact is directly below
    the knee
  • Foot always stays square
  • Keep knee slightly out

10
Lunge Matrix Progression
  • Arms above head
  • Holding weight at chest
  • Holding weight above head
  • Matrix Low switches
  • Stay low
  • Posture
  • Foot contact directly below knee,
  • Foot square knee slightly out
  • Matrix Power switches
  • Same as Low switches except
  • explode up as high as possible

11
Teaching Proper Lifting Technique
  • Make sure every athlete knows how to properly
    lift
  • If they are not ready, pull them back to the non
    weight bearing exercises, machines, or other
    lighter techniques (broom sticks, or PVC piping)

12
Resistance Training Exercises
  • Chest/Shoulders
  • Flat bench
  • Incline bench
  • Dumbbell flies
  • Hip/Thigh
  • Hip sled
  • Regular squats
  • Single leg squats
  • Step-ups
  • Walking lunges
  • Deadlift
  • Leg curls
  • Shoulders
  • Upright rows
  • Military press
  • Shrugs
  • Arms
  • Bicep curls
  • Tri extensions
  • Tri push-downs
  • Back
  • Bent over row
  • Lat pulldowns
  • Seated rows Calves
  • Standing
  • Calf raises
  • Toes straight ahead
  • Toes pointed in
  • Toes pointed out

13
Olympic Lifts
  • Snatch
  • Push Press
  • Split Squat Snatch
  • Powerclean
  • Hangclean
  • Jerk

14
Vary the lifts
  • 3-5 week phases with a week of recovery
  • Dont always do the same lifts, mix it up!
  • EXAMPLES
  • Regular Squat
  • Front Squats
  • Single leg Squats
  • Walking Lunges
  • Step ups

15
Vary the weight
  • ITS OKAY TO LIFT ALL SEASON, BUT CHANGE IT
    UP!!!!
  • Phase 1 Strength Building Phase
  • Phase 2 Maintaining Phase
  • Phase 3 Peaking Phase

16
After the weight room
  • Medicine Ball/Multi Throws
  • Overhead backwards
  • Between the legs forward
  • Straight up throws with a squat
  • Lunge, Lunge, throw
  • OR BE CREATIVE
  • May only need 5 reps
  • Your body will remember the last thing you did on
    that day

17
Strength Building Phase
  • Heavier phase
  • Usually during off season or beginning of
    pre-season
  • Focus Hypertrophy and Muscular Endurance (at the
    beginning)
  • Strength Endurance (later in the phase)
  • Less reps
  • More recovery

18
Maintaining Phase
  • During the Season
  • The athlete is training hard for specific events
  • Ex. Hurdling, sprinting, distance, field events
  • Medium amount of resistance training
  • Make lifting event/sport specific
  • Weight should be less than what the athlete was
    lifting in pre-season
  • More Reps
  • Less Recovery

19
Peaking Phase
  • You dont want your athlete to have their best
    performance at the first meet of the season.
  • Want them to perform well enough to qualify for
    state, but best performance should come at the
    end of the season
  • Lifting should be light fast (focus on speed of
    bar)
  • Few reps (rapid fire of fast twitch muscles)

20
How to choose lifts
  • Keep the lifts sport/event specific
  • This will increase the likelihood that there will
    be a positive transfer to the sport
  • Maintain Muscle Balance
  • Keep a balance of muscular strength across
    joints and between opposing muscle groups
  • Agonist vs. Antagonist
  • Biceps Triceps OR Hamstrings Quadriceps

21
Dos Donts of USD
  • We dont use a 1RM
  • Can be very dangerous for inexperienced athletes
  • We do use a 3-5RM
  • We use a formula to calculate a 1RM, can be found
    on the internet. Find a formula that best fits
    your athletes
  • We do use weight belts
  • But not all the time, if we are lifting heavy,
    mostly in Olympic lifts, we require them,
    otherwise we use the valsalva maneuver
  • We progress from side by side leg lifts to single
    leg lifts
  • These lifts are more track/event oriented, but
    each athlete must be ready to do this or they
    will get injured.
  • Snatch to split squat snatch OR squats to single
    leg squats
  • We dont lift Olympic back-to-back days
  • Your body needs at least 48hrs. to recover from
    Olympic lifting

  • Other 1RM values may vary slightly from .5-2
    from the provided table above.
  • This table is based on a 1RM percentage, and may
    not accurate for athlete performing multiple
    sets.
