Running is an element of nearly every sport.
Just two quick phrases summarize the goal of the Athletic Republic™
Running Program: Move faster—run longer! However, there are
actually key component objectives essential to meeting this
general goal.
Increase Maximum
Sprint Speed
Athletes will reach optimal speed by increasing the two
components of speed: stride length and stride frequency.
Stride length increases through improvements in strength and
flexibility; stride frequency increases by the selective
recruitment of neuromuscular pathways.
Increase Anaerobic
Tolerance
By increasing lactate tolerance and lactate clearance
capacity, athletes gain the ability to maintain maximum
speed for a longer duration or for repeated bouts without
decreasing speed. Recovery times have been noted to be
reduced by as much as 50 percent.
Improve Sprinting
Biomechanics
Incline running on the treadmill allows specific development
of the key factors associated with acceleration, optimizing
both the training effect and the training area. Forward
acceleration can only be developed from a certain point in
your stride to toe off. That's why incline capabilities help
each athlete learn and maintain knee drive, proper pelvic
and trunk position, forceful contraction of the lower
extremity, optimal stride length and properly coordinated
upper extremity movement. Our high-speed treadmill also
allows for specific neuromuscular recruitment and synaptic
response.
Increased
Aerobic Base For Long Distance Running
The distance running protocols are for 800 to 1500 meter and
3k to 10k. These protocols were designed to precisely train
endurance runners with Athletic Republic™
Sports Training
technology and to be as specific to race distance as
possible. Endurance training needs to have an aerobic base
and enhancement of this base should lead to greater success
in long distance running.
Increased
Proprioception, Improved Body Composition & Enhanced
Self-Esteem
Gains in each of these areas come directly or indirectly
from completing the Athletic Republic™
Running Program. And
each, in turn, can contribute to an athlete's gain in speed
and overall success.
Safety
Safety of the athlete is #1. Athletes train in a
controlled environment allowing trainers to inform them
of the specific drills prior to beginning. All athletes
are under adult supervision during training sessions.
Results
When you train on the Athletic Republic™
Programs, you
not only will improve your conditioning to a higher
level, but you also improve your quickness, balance,
agility and overall athletic performance. The average
athlete results are a 2-4 inch increase in vertical
jump, a 50% reduction in recovery rates, and a decrease
of .20 of a second in a 40-yard sprint.
