Born to Run

In April 2009, the weather in the south had gradually warmed up at this point in time. Whether it was the turf that had withered for a winter or the green trees on both sides of the road, green shoots gradually sprouted.

Some scenic spots in parks with prosperous vegetation are even more lush and green, which makes it pleasing to the eyes of many outing people.

In the morning, Shenghai Xinzhuang National Team Training Base, Equipment Room.

Yeqin is carrying a 230 kilogram barbell and is doing weight-bearing strength training.

It is already April, and soon various grand prix races will start in May.

Having learned the lessons of last year’s Yanjing Olympics, Yechin did not adopt a strategy of fewer entries and only participated in the competitions for the preparations for the Berlin World Championships this year. Instead, he hoped that through various grand prix and golden leagues, he could always maintain good competition. status.

This is not a small burden on the body, but in the face of strong competitors, this method is undoubtedly more able to keep him competitive.

Since Yeqin suffered a muscle strain at the beginning of the year, three or four months have passed. The injury has basically healed, and he has officially started to engage in active training.

Strength is a very important basic quality for sprinting. It can be said that explosive power and absolute speed ability are both derived from the powerful burst of muscles.

For a sprinter, if he leaves the field of running and jumping training and only conducts strength training in the gym, he can ensure that his starting and explosive power will not regress, or even improve.

Of course, if the distance is a little farther, the supporting other running training is naturally indispensable.

As many people in the sports world know, many weightlifters and gymnasts have a short explosive power of tens of meters. The distance of tens of meters is even faster than that of professional sprinters. Stretching to 60 meters or 100 meters, then athletes who require strong explosive power will naturally not be the opponents of professional sprinters.

At least strength, core strength, is an indispensable content for track and field athletes and sprinters who need to be continuously trained, maintained, and enhanced.

For this aspect of core strength training, Ye Qin also has his own complete system, heavy-weight rapid strength training, small-weight adaptive training, and other training methods assisted by various methods.

This is also the concept brought in by foreign coaches including Randy Hunter after the integration of domestic and foreign training, in the original domestic training method.

For running and jumping events, most of the time the focus is entirely on running and jumping, while ignoring other overall linkage training content.

In fact, the domestic sprint performance is improving rapidly in recent years. This improvement does not only refer to individuals such as Ye Qin, but with the new training concept, the improvement of the domestic environment, economic development, and so on.

Among primary and middle school students and sports school students, many outstanding seedlings are emerging.

In many key middle schools in first-tier cities, the number of people who can reach the second level or even close to the first level is increasing year by year. From this perspective, the competitiveness of domestic sprint events should gradually increase in the long run.

The improvement of the physical fitness of the whole people is the most critical point. In the previous era when even nutrition could not keep up, even with the best talents, many people couldn't get out of training.

"Pei Meng, your strength still needs to be improved!"

As Ye Qin was doing squat training group after group, Yuan Guohua, who was in charge of protection next to him, said with a smile looking at Zhang Peimeng who was a little staggering.

"This... coach, let me keep working hard!"

Looking at the stacked barbell plates on both sides of the barbell bar, Zhang Peimeng couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"Core strength is the key!" Yuan Guohua continued, pointing to the barbell. "A few words in the previous academic analysis report about Yechin and Youssef Bot are still more relevant. Before 2007, Although Yeqin and Youssef Bot are both excellent rookies and top athletes in the international track field, the real outbreak of the two began in 2007. Yeqin began to participate in men's sports in 2006. A lot of strength and starting training were carried out in 100 meters. By 2007, this aspect has not fallen. The strength has grown rapidly. With the growth and improvement of strength, personal performance has also ushered in a rapid explosion.

Like Jamaica's Youssé Bot, he has already entered the ranks of world-class sprinters in 2007, but they are slightly inferior to Jason Gaby and Asafaville, but in 2007 After the Osaka World Championships, Yusei Bot’s coach Glenn Mills developed a very rigorous and efficient strength training for him. In just over half a year, Youssei Bot ushered in a fast result. growing up. "

"I know this too." Zhang Peimeng scratched his head and hair, "It's just that my natural strength is small."

"Well, this is a natural physical fitness." Yuan Guohua nodded, he knew that Zhang Peimeng was right.

When Coach Li Qi was his assistant coach, he once talked to Yuan Guohua about the situation of Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng and others. Among them, he said that Gu Kai's strength is very good. There is no problem squatting 200 kg, but Zhang Peimeng is almost the same. Can only squat about 90 kg.

Compared to Gu Kaizhang, Pei Meng's power gap is already significant, not to mention Ye Qin.

It is not a big problem for Ye Qin to squat another tens of kilograms, but the track and field athletes are not practicing bodybuilding, focusing on practicality, not purely for the purpose of strengthening the muscle fibers.

"What suits you is the best."

While the two were talking, Ye Qin had already completed a set of weight-bearing squat training. After putting the barbell down on the barbell rack, Ye Qin let out a long sigh of relief and interjected with a smile.

"That's not bad." Yuan Guohua looked at Ye Qin, then at Zhang Peimeng, nodding slightly, "Your skeleton is relatively small, but you have a well-proportioned body, fast pace, and light footsteps. You don't have to pursue them completely. A wild way of running."

"I should combine my physical condition to improve."

Zhang Peimeng nodded to express his understanding. When he was training with Ye Qin and Su Bingtian and other national players, strength training had always been a weak point for him.

When the teammates around him are all 100kg and 200kg, the athlete's natural competitiveness will always be unstoppable and emerge.

Just like when Ye Qin did a 230 kg barbell squat, he always thought of adding some weight to himself, but in fact, as Ye Qin and Yuan Guohua said, being able to improve is the best.

The increase in absolute strength can easily lead to the increase in core strength, and the increase in core strength is basically reflected in the improvement of the player's performance on the field. This is the example of the two top athletes Yeqin and Yousseh-Bot, especially Yeqin. Since joining the team in 2005, he almost watched Yeqin's strength step by step.

However, for him, this approach, at present, should not be completely consistent. His strength quality is not outstanding, but his body is light and fast, and he is not bad in terms of core strength. What needs to be strengthened is his own advantage, and there is no need to deliberately be like Ye Qin and the others.

"By the way, Bingtian is coming back, right?"

After putting down the barbell, Ye Qin stood in place to perform muscle stretching and simple relaxation, and asked Yuan Guohua casually.

After doing heavy strength training, muscle relaxation and proper stretching are very necessary at this time, especially for sprinters like them.

After a heavy exercise, if the body muscles are not in the standard position during the training just now, it is likely to cause some local musculoskeletal distortions caused by excessive force. At this time, do not pay attention to some auxiliary means. In the long run, it will be Let the body appear uncoordinated, high and low shoulders, musculoskeletal damage and so on.

This is also a problem-prone link for many fitness enthusiasts and student groups who do not have professional guidance or are not selective enough. Without post-training muscle massage and self-muscle relaxation, it eventually hurts the body.

"It should be coming back soon."

Speaking of Su Bingtian and Yuan Guohua, a gratified smile appeared on his face, "The effect of Bingtian's winter training last year was very good, and it has been improved."

At this year’s National Indoor Track and Field Championships, Su Bingtian won the men’s 60m championship with a time of 6.60 seconds at Shenghai Station. Then he won a first and a second place at both Yanjing Station and Jinmen Station. The progress is amazing.

"Bingtian's training attitude is very good, and I am willing to work hard." Speaking of Su Bingtian, Ye Qin did not hesitate to praise, "If Pei Meng and Bingtian can run for about 10 seconds before 2012, give us another 100 meters. For those who can reach 20 seconds in 10 seconds and 20 seconds in 200 meters and 50 seconds in 200 meters, then we can go even further in the 4×100 meter relay of the Olympic Games."

"This is not easy." Yuan Guohua shook his head slightly, "If Bing Tian and Pei Meng want to pass the 10-second mark, they still need to work harder."

"I will work hard!"

Zhang Peimeng heard Ye Qin and Yuan Guohua talk about 10 seconds, and his heart was hot.

This is also his biggest goal and dream in recent years. Although Yeqin broke the 10-second mark in 2006 and became the first Asian athlete to break 10, he even won the men's 100-meter world record.

But for a track and field athlete, the number of 10 seconds is still full of magic. The IAAF used to measure the level of a sprinter in 10 seconds.

Moreover, he and Su Bingtian are hailed as the most likely to succeed Ye Qin and ran into the 10-second mark. It is not groundless, but through the trajectory of their age and improvement, as well as the room for improvement and progress through training on the field. The conclusion that comes out.

No one knows whether it can be achieved in the end, but it is possible to improve all aspects of technology and physical fitness.

If in 2012, he and Su Bingtian can really run to a score of about 10 seconds, and then come to a second or third rod of about 10 seconds and 20, then the performance of the entire 4×100m relay team will at least improve. One step, even if you can't win the Jamaican and American teams, it is still a strong contender for medals.

As everyone was talking, the door of the gymnasium for strength training in the equipment room was suddenly pushed open, and someone hurried in from the outside.

"Come out, come out!"

Chen Zhongzhou walked into the gym with a smile on his face, looked at Ye Qin, who had just completed a set of weight training in front of the barbell rack, and cried out loudly.

"What's coming out?"

On the open space next to him, Ye Qin, who was stretching and relaxing his muscles with a bouncing ball and yoga mat, stopped his movements and looked up curiously at Chen Zhongzhou who walked in the door.

"The 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards are nominated!"

With a bit of excitement in his voice, Chen Zhongzhou shouted loudly to everyone in the equipment room.

The 2009 Lawrence Prize aims to recognize individuals and groups with outstanding sports achievements from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Now what is coming out is the nomination, and the final result will be announced, and it will wait until June.

But even just a nomination, for an athlete, it is enough to excite.

"How was it, what nominations did you get?"

As soon as Chen Zhongzhou's voice fell, Zhang Peimeng next to him had already thrown aside the thoughts he had just thought, and asked excitedly when he approached Chen Zhongzhou.

The Lawrence World Sports Awards is one of the most influential awards in the world sports arena, and it is currently the only global sports awards ceremony.

Lawrence means laurel crown in Latin and symbolizes victory. The annual Lawrence Prize rewards the world's most outstanding male and female athletes. The selection method is to first nominate the most outstanding athletes of the year by more than 2,000 senior sports reporters from more than 70 countries and regions, and then 52 members of the Lawrence Institute of Physical Education The winners are selected by voting. The School of Physical Education is composed of the most outstanding retired athletes in various fields, and each member has brilliant historical results.

In the horizontal analogy of other awards, it can almost be said that in the film industry it is the Oscar, in the music industry it is the Grammy, and in the academic world it is the Nobel.

"Yepchin was nominated for the best male athlete, Zhang Lixin was nominated for the best disabled athlete, and our country's Olympic delegation was nominated for the best team of the year."

Chen Zhongzhou didn't sell too much, and directly stated the nomination just announced for the Lawrence World Sports Awards.

"Pretty! Ye Qin, you should be able to get the best male athlete this year!" Zhang Peimeng couldn't help sighing after hearing the nomination list.

"It's too early to say now." Ye Qin was not surprised that he could get the nomination. He was nominated once when he won the men's 100m and 200m champions and runner-up in the men's 400m at the Osaka World Championships in 2007.

It was just that the sprint event had just emerged from the Bark Lab scandal, and it was not influential enough. Although Yeqin became the first person in sprinting, he was not the best result of the year and did not break the world record. In the final selection, he lost to King Fei and won the Wimbledon championship for the fifth time in a row. In the four Grand Slam tournaments, in addition to the French Open runner-up, the other three feats won the championship.

"Talk about the nomination for the best athlete, and what are the nominations for the best team?"

Looking at the excitement of the crowd, Yuan Guohua asked key questions.

Nominating this kind of thing is already quite difficult for an athlete. If you want to win the final prize, in addition to your own achievements, you still have to look at the achievements of other athletes in their respective fields.

"The competition for the best male athlete is still very fierce. In addition to Yechin, there are Youssé Bot, Flying Fish Phelps, tennis star Nadal, Ronaldo, Rossi and Hamilton."

After hearing this string of names, everyone became less optimistic about whether Yechin could win the Lawrence Sports Award.

Last year was the big year of the Olympic Games. I won't mention other events. Just between Yechin and Youssei-Boer and Phelps, you need to compete. Yousseh-Boer lost to Yechin in the men's 100 meters, but there are also two world records in the men's 200 meters and men's 4×100 meters. In the win, Yechin's men's 100 meters and men's 400 meters world records are required. It's bigger, but it can't be said to be absolute.

And given the competition between Yechin and Youssef Bot in the sprint event, it is likely that Phelps's eight gold medals in a single Olympics will be more advantageous.

As for the nomination list for the best team, the Chinese Olympic delegation was shortlisted for the best team, as well as the Jamaican sprint team and the British cycling team that participated in the Beijing Olympics, and the Boston Celtics, who won a record 17 NBA finals. The men's team ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ as well as the English Premier League Manchester United football team and the Spanish men's football team.

From the current point of view, the Chinese Olympic delegation should be the most likely to win the prize. Other teams and performances are very good, but compared to the Chinese Olympic delegation, it has created the best Olympic record in history, ranking 53 gold medals in the gold medal list. The single first is still inferior.

"Ye Qin, how are you feeling pressured? This is the second time!"

Everyone talked about it for a while, Zhang Peimeng and Chen Zhongzhou all looked at Ye Qin and asked with a smile.

"I don't really feel any pressure on this."

Ye Qin smiled and shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't care at all, it was impossible. But to say that he is particularly concerned, from last year's nomination to the final failure to win, he was somewhat open to the Lawrence World Sports Awards.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Ye Qin smiled and stood up and said lightly, "If it doesn't work this year, it won't be able to run next year!"
