What do I mean?
Try sprint training!
Ps. If you want you can also do it in the gym with your students, with small variants and does not take much time.
The sprint training circuit:
- 10 Folding on the arms
- 10 Jump Squat
50 Sprint meters at your maximum speed (then go back walking) 10 Bending on Plyometric arms (clapping hands for those who don’t know what they are) 10 Jump Lunges 50 Sprint meters at your maximum speed (then go back walking)
In addition to doing the traditional circuits that are done in combat sports, it is also important that you train in sprinting and long-distance running during training for a fight or match.
Although sprints are not usually at the top of a fighter’s list of activities to do or one of the “favorite things to do”, it is important how you know how to get an adequate level of cardio to support the entire match and in addition to the traditional circuits running can be a method to improve your cardio.
Your heart rate increases and you develop that explosive speed and power needed for battle.
I usually do this sprint circuit the day before I have a day off so that my body can recover, also because it’s a type of workout that your body is probably not used to doing.
When to do this circuit
I tell you one thing, if I do this type of circuit at the beginning of my training week, I am usually fatigued for several days and it has a negative effect on my weekly training, so I recommend you try, but I repeat do a test but if you see that it affects your weekly training do it only at the end of the week.
Clearly it is a workout that must be inserted within a structured athletic preparation and in certain phases of athletic preparation but wants to be a cue to feel on yourself the feeling of doing such a training session and that you can also do alone or with a training partner to take the times.
