On August 28, 2004, in the men's 110-meter final of the Athens Olympic Games, Chinese "flyer" Liu Xiang broke the Olympic record in 12.91 seconds, and won the first Olympic gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles in the history of China and even Asia. Overnight, Liu Xiang became a household sports star, and this was only the beginning of Liu Xiang's brilliant sports career.
On July 12, 2006, in the final of the men's 110m hurdles at the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Lausanne, Liu Xiang broke the world record in the men's 110m hurdles with a time of 12.88 seconds. The original world record was held by Liu Xiang and British star Colin Jackson in 12.91 seconds. On August 31, 2007, liu Xiang won the men's 110m hurdles final of the Osaka Athletics World Championships with a time of 12.95 seconds, thus achieving a grand slam of "world record, Olympic gold medal and world championship gold medal".
Looking back on Liu Xiang's brilliant career, being able to dominate the world sports world in the short-distance sports that Europeans and Americans are good at proves Liu Xiang's super athletic talent and unremitting efforts the day after tomorrow, and being able to play at a high level in major international competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships can also be seen that Liu Xiang is indeed a "competition-type" athlete born for a big scene.
So, how do we test our specialized running ability?
Why do I need to take special tests on a regular basis?
Athletic training refers to the planned training process under the guidance of coaches to improve the competitive ability and athletic performance of athletes, which is an important part of competitive sports.
The main participants in sports training are athletes and coaches rather than sports participants in general, which is an organized and planned activity process, the purpose of which is to improve the level of training and lay the foundation for achieving sports performance.
From the perspective of athletic training and physiology, as an athlete engaged in long-distance endurance sports, the ultimate goal of adhering to the cyclical system for a long time is to achieve good results in competition. Then, during the cycle training period and the interval between the competitions, it is necessary to regularly arrange special test content for the main projects engaged in.
Regular tests can both motivate athletes to train and test the athletes' specific ability levels in order to better deploy the next training (competition) goals.
For example: 800m quiz: 600m (full force) or 1000 (full force)
1500m Quiz: 1200 (full force) m or 2000 m (full force)
5000m Quiz: 4 km (full force) or 6 km (full force)
10,000m Quiz: 8 km (full strength) or 12 km (90% stamina)
Half-way test: 15 km (90% stamina) or 25 km (8.5 m stamina)
30 km (8.5% stamina) or 35 km (80% stamina)
Differences in test and competition results
Competitions are a showcase of the results of an athlete's training. Usually, various factors such as the environment, atmosphere, sense of competition, awareness of active participation, and the selection and application of high-tech equipment are more likely to stimulate the enthusiasm and morale of athletes, thereby promoting athletes to have an extraordinary level of play.
Therefore, athletes who do not fear the stage, do not care about various factors inside and outside the field, and dare to let go and fight can always compete in the competition than the usual training level.
Factors that affect the poor performance of the game
For the public marathon runners who do not rely on running to support their families, the purpose of training and competition is mainly to reduce stress + exercise, although the race will be tense, but because there is no need to consider the win or loss of the race, technical and tactical concerns, it will not affect the abnormal performance.
However, as a professional athlete who eats on sports performance, it is different, and there are always some athletes who cannot play their training level in competitions for various reasons.
Overcome the mentality of "wanting to win and being afraid of losing"
Soldiers who don't want to be generals aren't good soldiers, and there's no athlete who doesn't want to win a championship in a race. However, once athletes think too much about the results of the game, they will carry the psychological burden of wanting to win and fear losing, and add unnecessary psychological burdens to themselves. For example, in the men's badminton singles at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Lin Dan, who ranked first in the world, was eliminated in the first round.
Therefore, we do not have to deliberately think about the result of the game, as long as we dare to play our training level without reservation in the game, the results and results of the game will not be bad.
Objectively face the phenomenon of "insomnia" before the game
Pre-game tension indicates that the athlete has entered the competition state, which is theoretically conducive to the performance, but excessive tension will also lead to a decline in the quality of sleep before the game, and even the night before the game "insomnia" phenomenon. Physiologically and psychologically, once the athlete has a decline in sleep quality or "insomnia", the psychological burden is much greater than the physical exertion.
In fact, many professional athletes have a short deep sleep time on the day before the competition, and occasionally the quality of sleep before the competition or "insomnia" will not bring a fatal blow to sports performance, but the continuous "insomnia" needs to be paid attention to.
The competency assessment is reasonable and the objectives are clear
It is important to recognize your true abilities before the game and establish achievable goals. For athletes, the only thing that can be operated is the game process within their control, and they cannot manipulate the result of the game.
To this end, when formulating game goals and techniques and tactics, we must pay attention to recognizing our true ability, technical and tactical from simple to concrete, to feasible, and finally to challenging, always grasp the initiative of the game, and not follow the rhythm of others in the game.
Firmly believe in their own strength, dare to go to Bo
Competitive sports have an extremely significant competitive nature, once athletes set foot on the field, they must believe in their own strength, and actively mobilize their desire and enthusiasm to play. Self-confidence in the face of the game is the key to winning, the motivation to fight on the field is the cornerstone of success, and the self-confidence of athletes is based on fully believing in their own strength and recognizing their own advantages.
Therefore, even if the competitive state is not good, maintaining high morale and morale before the game is also a concentrated manifestation of psychological advantage, and it will also hit the opponent's self-confidence.
In short, pre-competition training and pre-competition tension are two very important research topics in sports training, and their relationship is complementary. No matter how well athletes train before the game, if they do not overcome the tension before the game, it is difficult to have a good performance in the game.
A victory in a major competition can not only bring enough self-confidence to athletes, but also change the fate of athletes in their lives, and the most direct way to improve athletes' self-confidence is to improve the quality of each training session, so that the ideal training data "informs" athletes, and you can do better.
For example: to enhance the self-confidence of a main 800-meter athlete, you can arrange an 800-meter test race for the athlete when the athlete is in a better competitive state (there is no ranking and technical and tactical concerns, the athlete is more likely to run a good result), and equipped with a segment leader, cheerleaders and material rewards, etc., once the athlete runs a better result, he can gain self-confidence, so as not to be timid in the next game, dare to play.
On December 31st and January 1st, the Life 100 Challenge "Quit The Old Run" and "Welcome run" offline activities will be a good time to test, hurry up and register!
