ACCELERATION PHASE
Introduction to Acceleration Phase
You have completed your GPP and you’re back into the swing of sprinting, lifting and jumping. It’s now time to enter the first block of training. You have hopefully learnt so far that it is so important to recover, without recovery there is no adaption. During this block of 6 weeks it will go as follows. 2 Weeks of building Volume, 1 week recovery, 2 weeks intensification (speed) then a week recovery. During these phases training is adapting and gym exercises are changing to offer the power, max strength and rate of force development to name a few. Testing will take place to monitor the work that has been done is producing the results required.
6 WEEK BLOCK
During the weekly training model the training will be continuing to develop capacity through the up backs. The development of acceleration, skill and through a strength program to become overall stronger, produce more force and acceleration.
Power = Force x Velocity
(Resistance x speed you move the resistance)
Force is (mass x acceleration)
Mass is not weight but rather weight x acceleration of gravity 9.8 m/s
Force is equal to (mass * gravity)
EA Index is Peak Velocity / Time to Peak Velocity
