Procedure
Two players stand one behind the other. The front player sprints while incorporating various direction changes. The player behind sprints at the same speed and imitates the front player's running path. Running design per set: 10 metres jogging, 10-20 metres straight sprint, 10 metres jogging, and 10 metres sprint with direction changes left and right. Each player sprints 6 times. 60-second rest after each double block.n
Tip
- For the sprint start, begin in a staggered stance on the balls of the feet. Initially the upper body is leaning far forward, the centre of gravity is at hip height, and the eyes look down. After a powerful push-off from the balls of the feet, the upper body gradually straightens, the eyes lift, and the stride frequency increases. The arms move actively in alternation with the legs (right leg forward = left arm forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the balls of the feet, the foot rolls through fully (heel to sole to ball of the foot); the upper body is upright and steady, and stride frequency increases to maximum. - Continuously incorporate body feints and direction changes.
