PREPARATION PART I
For all jumpers, especially for triple jumpers, it is very
important to start the stage of the general physical preparation in October. Many
athletes begin the physical preparation stage in November, but according to my
experience, when an athlete begins the general preparation in November, almost
always the end results are not so good. The general preparation is the most
important stage for all athletes, so it is the need for a proper preparation
program is very important.
What do we have to work on in the first three months? Endurance, strength and explosiveness. The explosiveness
has to be performed by specific games for jumpers, such as games like
volleyball and basketball. Remember all the
games always have to be programmed so that an athlete is forced to jump. It is also very important
that the coach prepare and invents other special games containing active
vertical jumps.
For triple jumpers it is very important to work with
exercises that strengthen the knees, ankles, pelvis and back. These exercises
have to be performed on the sand and in the grass. When the athlete has to work
on the grass, the field in this period should be irregular, i.e. uneven. It is very important to take care with these
exercises, because if the athlete is not prepared to work under these
conditions the consequences can be dangerous, which can lead to serious injury.
If you work under the guidance of a good coach the results will be very good. These
exercises in the sand and the grass will strengthen completely the ankles and
knees…….
