Chapter 127 Technical Movement Training
The first day after the National Day holiday in October, Beijing University of Sport.
?
Lu Wei and Wang Qiao walked into the university campus together, carrying their suitcases. This place, which was a quiet "village" just a few years ago, has now become one of the national training bases for the Beijing Olympics.
?
Beijing Sport University is an important preparation base for the 2008 Olympics – its first-class facilities include two newly completed athlete apartments and auxiliary training halls; a newly built track and field training center and comprehensive training hall; and seven Olympic training venues designated by the Beijing Organizing Committee.
?
Seven years ago, the "Beijing Olympics" was just a beautiful "plan"; now, with the scent of ink from that blueprint still lingering, and thanks to the concerted efforts of people from all walks of life, an "Olympic city" is rising from the ground in the "real world".
The newly built training base gives people a low-key yet vibrant feeling. The white walls, green grass and red rubber track seem to be quietly telling a story of resilience and recovery.
?
This color perfectly reflects the current state of the national track and field team. Chinese track and field is still in a historical low. At the Athens Olympics, the Chinese team only won two gold medals in the men's 110-meter hurdles and women's 1-meter races, which accounted for only a small part of China's total of 32 gold medals. This is a very embarrassing proportion.
?
This ratio means that while China is a major sporting nation, its performance in track and field is hardly commensurate with this honor. This fact makes it difficult for those involved in track and field to feel proud, since competitive sports are all about performance.
?
"Lu Wei, we meet again."
?
At the track and field training base, Yu Wei and Coach Jiang came out of the office and ran into Wang Qiao and Lu Wei, who were familiarizing themselves with the field.
?
"Coach Yu, we meet again in just a few days!" Lu Wei said with a smile.
?
At the Huaxia Annual Awards Ceremony three days ago, Lu Wei won the Best Newcomer Award, while the men's 4x100m relay team won the Best Breakthrough Award. In addition, Liu Feiren won the Best Male Athlete Award. Huaxia Athletics won three awards at this year's awards ceremony, reversing the sluggish trend of previous years.
?
"Wow, he looks even stronger than he did at the World Championships, and he seems to have grown a bit taller too!" Yu Wei said, punching Lu Wei in the chest.
?
"He's definitely gotten a bit stronger!" Jiang Jianjun chimed in, noting that whenever Lu Wei was out of sight for a while, he always seemed a bit stronger than before, though not the kind of broad-chested, skinny frog-like physique that comes from improper workouts at the gym.
?
Lu Wei's muscles are very well-proportioned, and no part of his muscles stands out.
?
At this moment, Yu Wei turned to Wang Qiao and said, "Coach Wang, I'll be in charge of Lu Wei's training and life during this period of preparation for the Olympics."
?
"No! No! This is all I should do. I'll try my best to improve Lu Wei's performance through this period of training!" If Lu Wei could be relaxed and at ease in front of Yu Wei, Wang Qiao was different. Yu Wei was the second-in-command of the Track and Field Management Center, and it was impossible for him not to be reserved in front of his superior.
?
"That's great! If we improve any further, we'll be Olympic champions! Haha!" Yu Wei's words were clearly meant to ease the tension between the two.
?
After saying this, his expression turned serious: "Lu Wei not only shocked the world at the Osaka World Championships, but also shocked ourselves. The leaders of the General Administration of Sport even scolded Coach Feng and me at a meeting some time ago, saying that we were hiding our good talents and not reporting them in time. This shows how much attention the leaders are paying to this matter."
Although China's current strength on paper is not strong enough, it has introduced advanced training facilities, and the number of children practicing track and field has increased significantly compared to 5 years ago.
?
Compared to the Beijing Olympics, there won't be many changes in personnel. If Lu Wei can share some of the gold medal burden for the delegation in this competition, it will also relieve the pressure on Liu Yangyu and be of great help to our track and field team!
?
Therefore, we attach great importance to Lu Wei's training. Because Lu Wei participates in a wide variety of events, to reduce your burden, we have assigned him individual coaches for several events. We can work together to develop a training plan for him, but ultimately, the final decision rests with you as the head coach. From today onwards, you are a member of the national team coaching staff. Do a good job!
?
"my country's sprinting technique theory originated from the CIS, which has a relatively complete technical system. After introducing sprinting technique theory from them, we have discovered a very sad thing after many years of practice. That is, the damage this theory causes to athletes' bodies has become a common problem, and it has not created many talents for our country's sprinting cause."
?
Technical theory has now become one of the reasons for the lagging performance of sprinters in my country, and scientific training has become the most important development trend in modern sports training. Only scientific theory can guide scientific training.
?
During the first two weeks of the training camp, the athletes focused on recovery training, while the coaches gathered together to study track and field theory during this relatively relaxed period of training.
?
Today, the instructor we invited gave a special lecture on advanced sprinting theories from around the world to improve the coaches' theoretical understanding. Some people didn't take it seriously, while others laughed and joked in class, treating the theoretical learning as a relaxation activity before intense training.
?
Wang Qiao dared not relax at all. In order to record these courses completely, he bought a voice recorder. He listened attentively to each class and carefully organized his notes and wrote down his thoughts when he returned to his room.
?
He dared not relax at all about this hard-won opportunity.
?
This year, many athletes have begun to adopt a competition-as-training model before major events.
?
Besides Liu Feiren, many other athletes have also participated in many competitions, and everyone's bodies are in a state of fatigue. Interested team members can also follow along to learn in the morning.
?
The afternoon training session wasn't very demanding, focusing primarily on technique improvement for Lu Wei. The breakdown of the starting motion, the pacing and arm swing during the run, and the muscle activation during the sprint were all recorded and analyzed step-by-step.
Then, videos of outstanding athletes' competitions are played, and finally, Lu Wei's movements are broken down and compared, and an analysis is conducted in conjunction with Lu Wei's situation.
?
After a month, Lu Wei felt that his cornering skills had improved significantly, especially in terms of arm swing angle and body tilt. His speed did not drop much when entering a corner from a straight, and his rhythm was not affected when exiting a straight from a corner.
