Who is the legendary Coach Joe Vigil (two-time USA Olympic distance coach) AND what is his basic philosophy of distance training (not one workout)? 3. Considering the high impact activity of running what three exercises for the foot and lower leg do you recommend for helping prevent shin splints and lower leg injuries? 4. Threshold training is an integral part of successful distance running training…explain a track threshold workout AND a straight run threshold run that would benefit the athlete. 5. List a detailed MID SEASON week of training (with Friday meet included) for 1600 meter boys AND 3200 meter girls. Week 7-Jumps Jump events: 1. Explain penultimate stride. 2. What is the jumper’s flight parabola? 3. What are the two primary factors determining long jump distance? 4. What has been the effect of the fiberglass pole on pole vaulting technique? 5. Why is sprint work important for the jump events? 6. Explain the origin of the Fosbury Flop and why it is a superior technique? 7. What effect does the speed of the vaulter have on the energy build-up in the fiberglass pole? 8. TJ Video question: Horizontal speed in the triple jump is critical, but in maintaining that speed AFTER board take-off what must the jumper DO with the “free limbs” (arms/legs) to try and maintain that momentum? 9. As the horizontal jumper DESCENDS into the pit what can he/she do with their arms to move the center of mass slightly forward just prior to landing? 10. Does the basic inherited running speed of the jumper dictate the length of the run on the runway (and explain) ? 12. What should the jumper do to slow down forward momentum (“the hinge moment”) once they leave the take off board in the long jump? 13. Fosbury video question: What is the apparent stride pattern of the last two strides prior to Fosbury leaving the ground? 14. Why is “flat foot” landing in the triple jump phases critical -biomechanically?
