Throughout May, the Worcester Warriors Performance Team have been raising money and awareness for Mind .

Staff have been completing either:

- 500km cycle
- 200km run
- 150km indoor row

or a combination of all three.

The pandemic has highlighted the need for a better understanding, awareness and support for people struggling with mental health issues.

I'm running 200km for those who fight the battles we know nothing about.

With 50km left to go around Sixways Stadium , anything you could spare would be massively appreciated!

Please give whatever you can via the link below:

Many thanks,

RETURN TO RUN FOR FIELD SPORTS: ACCELERATION - CONCEPTS & RULES

Concept 1: Many individual technical differences will be seen during acceleration.

Concept 2: Each player is an individual, so perfecting optimal acceleration technique requires an individual approach.

Concept 3: Developing optimal individual technique is a gradual learning process.

Research shows that field sports players will typically hit ~90% of their max velocity (speed) within 20m, with further research showing 20m sprint efforts account for 90% of Total Sprint Distance in Football and 68% in Rugby.

Additional research also shows team sports players typically demonstrate upright running technique ~ 20m after accelerating.

Although variance exists in sprint distance between field sports and individual positional demands, from an injury prevention standpoint, players shouldn’t be exposed to violent acceleration and high velocity running for the first time when resuming training or during match-play. Injury risk here is high as the capacity to withstand these forces and the durability to repeat them will not have been developed.

If poor physical abilities are coupled with other common causes of non-contact sporting injuries e.g. poor mechanics & lack of recovery, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Therefore, begin building your acceleration content with a technical focus over short, max effort distances of 5-10m with full recoveries after each sprint, then incrementally progress these distances to 20m – 40m after several weeks.

The 3 “Rules" of Acceleration:

1: PROJECTION: of your body up & out
2: RHYTHM: of your steps & strides with every step
3: RISE: of your body angle from forward - upright

The 3 Phases of Sprinting

RETURN TO RUN FOR FIELD SPORTS: WHERE TO START…

As the outcome of many game-changing scenarios in field sports are greatly influenced or determined by speed, the logical point to build your “Return to Run for Field Sports” template would be at the start of the speed technical model… acceleration.

Players with a combination of force-development capabilities, greater stiffness and elasticity in the muscles / tendons of their lower limbs will be able to accelerate faster and maintain higher top speeds than those who don’t. The nature of team sports requires that players are able to perform these efforts repeatedly and effectively in the context of their game, in both attacking and defensive scenarios.

Ultimately, if you can’t get to where you’re trying to get to in time… you won’t influence the game how you intend to.

A common misconception is that training acceleration must only occur after proper strength training has taken place. Under this philosophy, not only will a significant amount of valuable preparation time be lost, but in the context of Covid-19 training restrictions, many field sports players have not had access to a gym or the regular structured strength training they would usually perform.

It should also be noted that it is difficult to replicate running demands in the gym from a force production standpoint even with unlimited equipment access, with research showing increasing peak loading rates of 127.5 x Bodyweight / sec during max effort accelerations and 224 x Bodyweight / sec when running at 9 metres per second.

Training for acceleration will therefore compliment gym based exercise in developing the explosive strength, power, coordination and muscle-tendon elasticity required for returning to run.

The ongoing inclusion of acceleration technique into team training is important for the long term development of athlete speed. Simply put, how match-play movement scenarios start will often determine how successful those later stages actually are.

Whilst each team sports player is an individual and will likely run differently than a track sprinter, it is important that they understand the concepts and “rules” around developing acceleration technique....

As regular training for team sports draws closer, particularly for football, it may be difficult to know how or where to begin… or if you’ve done enough to reduce your risk of injury on your return.

GoPhysioSW is proud to have supported over 70 field sports players during the Covid lockdown via the remote programming of Injury Reduction Strategies and Pitch-Based Conditioning to ensure they return to training and match-play fitter, faster and more resilient to injury post lifting of training restrictions.

To help provide some clarity, GoPhysioSW will release a “Return to Run for Field Sports” blog series, highlighting the different components of a running-based conditioning program to help build your own return to training template.

Alternatively, DM GoPhysioSW to book your online consultation to take advantage of this time to start your bespoke injury reduction and personalised conditioning program.

GoPhysio SW is proud to announce the addition of the Statsports APEX GPS tracker to its equipment repertoire for the start of the New Year!

Global positioning systems (GPS) are widely used in sport settings to evaluate the physical demands on players during training and competition.

The Statsports APEX allows live tracking during our pitch-based sessions, providing accurate feedback during athlete rehab, testing and training. The GPS tracker details important metrics such as:

- Total Distance
- Max Speed
- High Speed Running distance
- High Metabolic Load Distance
- Distance per minute
- Sprint distance
- Number of sprints
- Step balance
- Accelerations, Decelerations and Dynamic Stress Load
- Heart rate
- And heat map

This information allows GoPhysio SW to personalise program design when designing fitness, rehabilitation and return-to-running protocols specific to each players sport and position, ensuring a safe and effective return to match-play.
