At the recently concluded 14th National Games, the Guangdong delegation blossomed in the competition and group events, winning 75 gold, 42 silver and 66 bronze, and a total of 183 medals ranked among the best. Behind such excellent results, the sweat of athletes, coaches and managers is condensed, and the full support of "behind-the-scenes heroes" is also indispensable. The scientific research team of Guangdong Ersha Sports Training Center (hereinafter referred to as "Ersha") has inserted the wings of science and technology for Guangdong sports and helped athletes shine in the Olympic and National Games.
Starting today, Southern + launched the "Visit the "Cradle of Champions" series of reports, taking you into the "mysterious" Ersha Sports Training Center. In the first article, let's first talk about how scientific research can help Guangdong sports "speed up".
Su Bingtian led the Guangdong sprint team to win the gold medal in the men's 4X100m at the National Games.
He has contributed 34 Olympic gold medals in 1967
In preparation for the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games, the Ersha Sports Training Center was completed and put into use in 1954, which was the first sports training base in New China. Rong Guotuan, Chen Jingkai, Rong Zhixing, etc. are all benchmark figures of Chinese sports who have come out of "Ersha".
Up to now, the athletes trained by "Ersha" have won a total of 34 Olympic gold medals. At the 14th National Games, the athletes trained by "Ersha" won excellent results of 35 gold, 17 silver and 32 bronze, creating the highest record for the number of gold medals and medals in operations outside the province.
Ersha Sports Training Center can see "how many beats can be made in life" when you enter the door.
Walking into the Ersha Sports Training Center, the seven large red characters on the wall are very eye-catching, and Rong Guotuan's bold words of "life can have several beats" are people's first impression of the "cradle of champions".
At present, "Ersha" has a total of 13 sports management centers, including diving, athletics, swimming, basketball and other 18 sports.
Su Bingtian's first 60 meters super Bolt
Su Bingtian broke the Asian record in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the first Chinese to reach the Olympic 100-meter final, and at the age of 32, Su Bingtian created a miracle of Chinese speed and Asian speed.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian ran an Asian record of 9.83 seconds in the men's 100m semifinals.
In fact, in this preparation cycle, Su Bingtian has been physically and technically unreasonable, and the breathing and speed rhythm also need to be adjusted. In this regard, the scientific research team through scientific and technological instruments and equipment to the athlete's movements, physical fitness, technology, recovery and other aspects of the all-round capture and monitoring, the use of scientific and technological means to fit the "champion model".
Referring to the "champion model", the coaches conducted a comprehensive analysis of Su Bingtian's physical fitness and skills, tailored a personalized research plan, and let him establish the dynamic stereotype of the neuromuscular system at a higher competitive level.
It is worth mentioning that there was a world-class biomechanics expert who made predictions for many top sprinters, and Su Bingtian predicted the limit of 9.83 seconds. However, among the many predictions, only Su Bingtian ran out of the peak of the prediction.
Statistics show that Su Bingtian's reference time in the first 60 meters reached an incredible 6.29 seconds, which surpassed the 6.34 indoor 60 meters world record held by Coleman in the United States, and was 0.02 seconds faster than Bolt's 60 seconds and 31 seconds in the first 60 meters of the 9.58 world record. His ability to start the future is really among the top in the world.
Su Bingtian broke the tenth again in the men's 100 meters competition of the Shaanxi National Games and won the championship to fulfill his dream.
"Predicted and actual results are not bad by second, it is very magical, so many coaches have to believe in the power of scientific research. However, although the result was predicted, Su Bingtian's first 60 meters took only 6 seconds and 29 seconds, faster than Bolt, which was unpredictable. We need to look at scientific research assistance objectively, it is very helpful, but it is not a 'god'. Liang Jiahong, sprint coach of the Guangdong Athletics Team, believes that sprinting is a combination of speed and strength, and every link is very critical. Through the monitoring of scientific instruments, a series of data such as the maximum speed, maximum power, average speed, and average power of athletes will be intuitively displayed, which not only deepens the coaches' understanding of athletes, but also helps athletes prepare for the game more scientifically.
Champions cannot be "pipelined" to be cultivated
Three Guangdong athletes, Tan Qiujiao, Zeng Rui and Chen Jie, won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the women's triple jump at the 14th National Games. In daily training, the scientific research team cooperates with the coach to use an infrared velocimeter to establish the athlete's understanding of the speed of the board (acceleration process before taking off), and the whole process can be displayed in real time. Coaches will also use blood flow restriction belt techniques with coaches to limit blood flow according to the needs of strength training, and promote the benefits of strength training by restricting blood flow.
The Guangdong team won the top three places in the women's triple jump at the Shaanxi National Games.
"Before the data is fully monitored, the coach can only use the naked eye observation combined with empirical judgment, sometimes what happens within 0.1 seconds can not be seen at all, and the comprehensive monitoring provides a more accurate basis for the coach to judge." Xiong Xiaochun, coach of the Guangdong Athletics Team, revealed that the process of mutual cooperation between "scientific training and doctors" is also a process of mutual promotion and continuous exploration, and the coaches have gained a lot of inspiration.
Guangdong researchers analyze athlete data.
Xiong Xiaochun revealed that although scientific research helps athletes' performance a lot, in some training links, the experience of high-level coaches is more instructive than simple biological indicators.
Sometimes the biomarker is low, indicating that the athlete is too much exercise or not in the state, but Mai Zhi (director and head coach of the Athletics Management Center of The Ersha Sports Training Center in Guangdong Province) thinks it is normal, and the results are indeed as he said. This is not to say that the scientific research data is inaccurate, the scientific research assistance is still in the development stage, and it is necessary to combine the experience of the coach to do more exploration. Xiong Xiaochun said.
Guangdong researchers took a group photo at the National Games.
Can the training of future athletes form an "assembly line" operation with the help of scientific research? Xiong Xiaochun believes that this is not the case, he said, "At the level of popularization, you can try more modular training methods, and in the top field, it is a good combination of people and technology." It's like a fine ornament, first polished by machine to create a shape, and then carved by hand. ”
