Velocidad en deportes acíclicos, VOZ c IA

In this presentation we will analyze sports speed from a biomechanical, physiological and fundamentally training-based perspective. The proposal is to move from theory to evaluation and, based on that evaluation, make concrete prescription decisions. When we talk about speed in football, basketball, rugby, hockey or handball, we are not just talking about running 40m in a

straight line. A player needs to start, accelerate, reach high speed when space is available, brake, change direction, react to game information, and often repeat all of that with incomplete recoveries. The drawing on this cover helps us to present a central concept: running is the result of forces applied against the ground, a certain

orientation of those forces, and a support sequence that changes as speed increases. The angles and arrows in the illustration represent that mechanical idea. We should not interpret those graphic values ​​as real measurements of an athlete. The starting point will always be the same: first we define what capacity we want to study, then we select

a valid test and a reproducible protocol, we interpret the results, and only then do we choose exercises, intensities, distances, and pauses. Throughout the following slides we will relate the 5 to 40 m sprint, the horizontal force-speed profile, deceleration, reactive agility, the series zone and sled work. The goal is not to accumulate data. It's about

understanding what each piece of data means and how to use it to improve athletic performance. This slide summarizes the map of capabilities that integrate speed in team sports. Its main message is that the final time of a sprint tells us how long the player took, but it doesn't explain why it took that long.
