2.  Increase efficiency for athlete to use less energy
 Improve athletes form and body control
 Increase enzyme production. Calories and energy store more in muscles
than fat .
 Used for higher intensity sports, i.e.:Track, soccer, football, field hockey,
etc.
Speed and Agility

3. Speed and Agility Equipment
Running Parachute-
Power/ Speed
Resistance

4.  Exercises using no equipment
 Body weight exercises
 Can improve balance and motor skills
 Strengthen tendons and ligaments around muscle
Calisthenics Exercise

6.  Exercises that cause jumps/explosiveness
 Dynamic resistance exercises
 Rapidly stretch and shorten muscle
 Increase muscular power
Plyometrics

8.  Speed and agility exercises more important in off season
 Nervous system needs time to adjust to new motor skills
 Agility speed and form improves over time with high reps
 Takes weeks or months to see difference
Neurological Awareness

9. Speed And Agility Equipment
Agility ladder
Speed and quickness;
improve foot
movement

10.  Neuromuscular Adaptation
 Agility training skills are personally related to your sport
 It directly uses the neuromuscular system because it is at the intensity and speed
of your sport.
 Improved Athleticism
 Increase body control through concentrated muscle strain and movement
 Creating body control helps athletes move fast
 Improves movement in joints, tendons, neck, back, etc.= Improved posture

Elastic- lead runner
force trailing
runners stride to
increase or speed
up
Vertical Jump-
power in
athletes
muscles

12.  Injury Prevention & Decreased RehabilitationTime
 By controlling body movement and improving joint & tendon stability= decrease
in sports injury
 Body is better prepared for awkward movements that can happen during game
time
 Athlete will have more neurological awareness and understand how their body
moves while initiating agility moves during practice

13. Speed and Agility Equipment
Sled= Speed resistance

14. Strength vs. Agility

15.  College Athletes= Poor Diet
 Diet and performance go hand in hand
Nutrition for Optimal
Performance

16.  Carbs= #1 energy source
 I.e.- Whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, squash, bread
 Increase recovery and replenish glycogen levels
 Gatorade and Water
during and after practice
Energy Sources

17.  Fat= 2nd energy source
 I.e.- Olive oil, natural peanut butter, avocados, low fat milk, low fat cheese
 Protein= 3rd energy source; but will be used as energy is 1st two are neglected
 I.e.= Lean beef, fish, chicken, lean turkey, tofu
Energy Sources

19.  Controls body movement
 Improves form
 Strengthens joints, muscular, and ligaments
 Strengthens neurological awareness
 Improves speed and promotes efficiency
