Short distance running (sprinting)
Short-distance running, or sprinting, includes: running 60, 100, 200 and 400 meters. In England, the USA, Australia and some other countries, sprint competitions are held at distances of 60, 100, 220, 440 yards. Here's what the difference in metric and yard times looks like: 100 yards = 91.44 m; 100 m = 109.36 yards (+0.9 s). 220 yards = 201.17 m; 200 m = 218.72 yards (-0.1 s). 440 yards = 402.34 m; 400 m = 437.44 yards (-0.3 s). If an athlete ran 100 yards in 9.2 seconds, then his result in the 100 m run in terms of (9.2 + 0.9) is approximately 10.1 seconds.

History of sprinting
The origin of the sprint began with the Olympic Games of antiquity. The stadia (192.27 m) and the two stadia were very popular among the Greeks. Moreover, the ancient athletes used not only a high, but also a low start, using special starting stops in the form of stone or marble slabs for this. In the early days of track and field athletics in America, a walking start was used, similar to the start in horse racing. Then a high start became widespread, when the athlete put one foot back and leaned forward. At the I Olympiad of our time, T. Burke first showed a low start at official competitions, although it was proposed in 1887 by the famous American coach Murphy and was first used by his compatriot Sherrill. They started from small holes dug in the ground. Appeared in the 30s. 20th century the starting blocks allowed to improve the technique of low start. Short-distance running, before other types of athletics, was recognized as accessible to women and included in the program of the 1928 Olympic Games.

Sprint development in Russia
Sprinting in Russia became widespread later than in Western countries. In the first official track and field competitions in Russia (1897), the program included 300 feet (91.5 m) and 188.5 fathoms (401.5 m). Currently, many coaches agree that the technique of sprinting is purely individual and, despite certain biomechanical characteristics, depends on the specific individual characteristics of the athlete, as well as on the levels of power and speed achieved by him. This, of course, does not exclude the common elements of technology common to all rational elements, the improvement of which they are engaged in to this day.

Short distance running technique
To analyze the technique of sprinting, the following are conditionally distinguished in it: Start Starting acceleration Distance running Finishing
Slide 7
Start
In sprinting, according to the rules of the competition, a low start is used, while using starting blocks (machine tools). The location of the starting blocks is strictly individual and depends on the qualification of the athlete and his physical capabilities.
Slide 8
Types of low start
In practice, four types of low start are used (according to the location of the blocks). Normal Extended Close Narrow The application of the start depends on the individual capabilities of each athlete, primarily on the strength of the leg muscles and the athlete's response to the signal. Along the longitudinal axis, the distance between the axes of the pads is set from 15 to 25 cm.
Slide 9
With a normal start, the distance from the starting line to the first block is 1.5 - 2 feet, the same distance from the first to the second block. For beginner athletes, you can use the arrangement along the length of the lower leg, i.e. the distance to the first block and from the first to the second is equal to the length of the lower leg. With an extended start, the distance from the starting line to the first block is increased from 2 to 3 stops, from the first to the second block - from 1.5 to 2 stops. With a close start, the distance from the starting line to the first block is 1.5 feet, from the first to the second - 1 stop. With a narrow start, the distance from the starting line to the first block does not change, but the distance from the first to the second block changes from 0.5 feet or less.
Slide 10
False start
Starting blocks are attached to a special device that fixes false starts. The starter has earphones which, in the event of a false start, emit an acoustic signal that sounds when the start reaction time of one of the runners is less than 100/1000 sec. Having heard the signal, the starter or his assistant return the athletes back and, according to the readings of the device, determine which of the athletes made a false start. The first false start in a race is considered general and does not lead to the disqualification of the athlete or athletes who made it, yet subsequent false starts lead to immediate disqualification in this race of runners who started prematurely.
slide 11
Physiology of sprint
Sprinting is running at top speed. The task of the runner is to gain this speed as quickly as possible and keep it as long as possible. There are physiological justifications for the formation of speed in sprinting. Runners of any qualification and age in the 1st second of running reach 55% of their maximum speed, in the 2nd - 76%, in the 3rd - 91%, in the 4th - 95%, in the 5th - 99% , on the 6th - 100%. Then, up to the 8th second, the speed is maintained, the duration of this maintenance depends on the qualification of the runner. After the 8th second there is an inevitable decrease in speed.
slide 12
Sprint as an Olympic sport
The program of the Games of the 1st Olympiad in 1896 included two types of men's sprints - distances of 100 and 400 meters, at the next Olympics a distance of 200 meters was added to them. Representatives of the United States achieved the greatest success in the Olympic sprint. In the 100 m run, out of 25 gold medals, the Americans won 16 (Great Britain - 3, Canada - 2, South Africa, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago and the USSR - one each), 200 m - 17 out of 24 (Canada and Italy - 2 each, USSR, Jamaica and Greece - one each), 400 m - 18 out of 25 (Great Britain and Jamaica - 2 each, South Africa, Cuba and the USSR - one each). Two-time Olympic champions in one of individual species Americans Carl Lewis (100m run) and Michael Johnson (400m run) became the men's sprint. The first, and immediately two-time, Olympic champion in the sprint among representatives of the USSR was the Ukrainian Valery Borzov, who won the 100 and 200 meters in 1972. Viktor Markin won the 400 meters in 1980. His Golden medal so far the only one won by the Russians in the men's sprint.
slide 13
Women's sprint
The first women's sprint distance - 100 m - appeared in the Olympic program in 1928. Thus, so far the championship in this form has been played 18 times. Gold medals were distributed as follows: USA - 10, Australia - 2, Poland, the Netherlands, East Germany, Germany, USSR / Russia, Belarus - one each. Two Americans - Wyomia Tayes and Gail Divers became two-time champions, and the only one is still angry. a medal for Russia was obtained in 1980 by Lyudmila Kondratieva. At a distance of 200 m, the participants of the Olympic Games competed 15 times and the highest awards were won by representatives of the USA - 6, the GDR - 3, Australia - 2, the Netherlands, Poland, France and Jamaica - one each. the only two-time champion in this form is BarbelEckert-Wöckel from the GDR. The 400 m distance is the youngest in the family of the Olympic sprint - the awards in it were played only 11 times: 3 of them were awarded to the representatives of France, 2 each to Australia and the GDR, one each to Poland, the USA, the USSR and the Bahamas. The Frenchwoman Marie-Jose Perec achieved the gold Olympic double in this form, and the Ukrainian Olga Bryzgina won the highest award for the USSR national team in 1988.
Slide 14
Wins and records
Several sprinters managed to become a three-time champion (including relay races) of one of the Olympics. These are the Americans - Jesse Owens (1936), Wilma Rudolph (1960), Carl Lewis and Valerie Briscoe-Hooks (1984), Florence Griffith-Joyner (1988), Michael Johnson (1996), and Marion Jones (2000), Dutch Fanny Blankers- Kuhn (1948) and Australian Elizabeth Cuthbert (1956).

Sprinting - Key Health Benefits
A loss excess weight. Research shows that sprinting burns 9 times more fat than regular cardio. This type running also boosts your metabolism, speeding up the rate of metabolic processes in the body. There are no overweight people among sprinters. Strengthening the cardiovascular system. Long runs can put unnecessary strain on the heart. Unlike sprinting, where there are bursts of maximum power that load the heart much less. This increases stamina and allows you to do several workouts at a time.
slide 16
Saving your time. You will keep yourself in great shape and at the same time spend a minimum of time on classes. For 15 - 20 minutes you get the same load as from 1 - 1.5 hours of classes in gym. The result is time savings and improved health. Fast results. Normalization of weight, strengthening of muscles and ligaments, increase in endurance - after 3 weeks of daily exercise. In order to get such results when practicing other types of exercise, it would take you months.

Historical aspect
On one of the rocks of Greece, an inscription was found: "If you want to be strong - run, if you want to be beautiful - run, if you want to be smart - run." Scientists have established that these words were carved by the ancient Hellenes 2.5 thousand years ago. A number of other literary and artistic monuments of the distant past testify that running was a favorite exercise of the ancient Greeks, and running competitions were a kind of ritual and holiday for them. So, in Homer's poems "Iliad" and "Odyssey", created presumably in the 8-7th century. BC e., it is said that running competitions were held in honor of dead heroes or as a sign of some important events.
Slide 7
The first Olympic competitions BC were held only in running. According to legend, the first Olympic Games were organized by Hercules in 1210 BC. e. From 776 BC e. records were kept of the games of the Olympiad, which were held only in running for one stage (192 m). In 724 BC. e. Added competition in two stages. In 720 BC. e. a seven-stage race was added, and as an example to the winner, athletes began to compete naked, this was facilitated by the culture of society, which extolled tanned athletic bodies. Only men competed in the race. They started running from a special threshold - "balbis", in which pits were made to support the legs. Another stone threshold marked the finish line at the end of the path - “telos”. Before the start of the competition, lots were drawn among the runners - they took out tokens from a silver urn, with numbers indicated on them. According to these numbers, the judges placed the competitors at the start. The start consisted of races and finals, the best of the races went to the quarter-finals, then to the semi-finals and finals, where the winner was determined. The run began on a special command. Athletes who started ahead of time were punished with rods or sentenced to a fine.

Running strengthens the heart muscle Running stimulates the liver, improving the outflow of bile. Running develops the airways and lung capacity. Running helps cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. Running trains almost all muscle groups, and healthy muscles are the key to healthy joints. Running improves performance and improves mental performance. Running forms personal qualities: self-control, willpower, determination.

What is running?
Running is the second, after walking, natural way of movement that mankind has been using since its inception. Unlike walking, while running, a person has a flight phase, that is, the moment when all his fulcrum (legs) are in flight. In addition, unlike walking, when running, a person does not have a two-support phase, the moment at which both legs touch the support.

Types of sports running:
Short distance running (30-400m) Sprint (100m, 200m and 400m) Hurdling (100m, 400m); Middle-distance running (usually distances from 800 to 3000 m are equated to medium distances, this also includes 3000 m hurdles); Long-distance running (standardly there are two of them - 5000 m and 10,000 m); Cross (cross-country running); Marathon (running along the track for very long distances); Relay (the most team type of track and field athletics, including the following options: 4 × 100 m, 4 × 200 m, 4 × 400 m, 4 × 800 m or 4 × 1500 m).

Slide 14
Low start
The beginning of any run is called START. In sprinting, where it is required to gain maximum speed as quickly as possible, a LOW START is used. Athletes borrowed a low start from kangaroos. Compressing like a spring, the runner, after a shot or command, rapidly throws the body forward. To do this, the runner usually uses special STARTING SHOE. They are installed in front of the line, beyond which the running distances begin. The pads give the runner a firm foothold for instant, powerful repulsion. The start is divided into three consecutive parts. Each of them is accompanied by a special judging team. After the runners have set the blocks in a comfortable position, the judge commands: "TO START!" The athlete, without hurrying, approaches the starting point and kneels on one knee, as you can see in the upper figure on the right. This takes approximately 10 seconds. On the next command "ATTENTION!" the runner transfers the weight of the body to the hands, coming to a state fully prepared to run (middle figure). After 1.5–2 seconds, at the command "MARCH" (on the shot of the starting pistol), the athlete flies out of the blocks like a bullet, trying from the very first moments to develop top speed.
slide 15
High start
At the command "Start!" the runner approaches the starting line: - puts the strongest foot close to the starting line; - slightly turns the toe inward; - puts the other leg 1.5-2 feet behind; - distributes the weight of the body on two legs; - the body is straightened; hands are loose. At the command "Attention!" the runner: - tilts the torso forward at an angle of 45°; transfers the weight of the body to the strongest leg. When executing the “March!” command: - the runner rushes forward sharply - after 5-6 steps the body takes a vertical position.

The sculptor Kostas Varotsos, who preferred to work with metal and glass, dedicated the work to the national hero of Greece, Spyridon Louis, a man who served as an ordinary postman in the suburbs of Athens. Spiridon took part in the first Olympic Games modernity in 1896, in which he won the 40-kilometer race. Starting, Louis at first was not the leader of the race, but gradually, the leaders began to go out of the race. Catching up with his rivals, Louis led the race with a few kilometers to go and finished in 2:58:50. He won an important medal for his country. Without a doubt, it was a real feat. The feat of an athlete with a 6-day sports career. Since then, the route of each marathon must pass by this monument, which carries a fragile, but at the same time, colossal power and willpower to win. Athletes are inspired and have strength for the rest of the journey

From the book of records
The fastest man in the world The fastest man on earth is a native of Jamaica, his name is Bolt Usain. The sprinter managed to cover a distance of one hundred meters in a time of 9:69 seconds. This happened in 2008 on August 16 at the Olympic Games in Beijing. With this result, Bolt achieved not only the gold medal, he also set the best time for the 100m distance, which became a world record. In the same year, at the same Olympic Games on March 20, Bolt Usain sets a new record only at the 200 meter distance. His result is 19:30 seconds. He wins the second gold, and, most importantly, hits earlier set record, which was directed by Michael Johnsan. The gap was only 0.02 seconds - a little, but the fact remains - Bolt Usain is the fastest man in the world.

The body is straight, without inclinations, Just a little bit forward, Like the sun from the sky, Calls you into the distance with a beam. Swing the hip, foot elastically push the Earth away from you. Just put it down without knocking, Don't turn it aside. The run must flow smoothly, Like the course of a river. All your movements should strive only forward. Hands to the beat, elbows bent, Do not lift strongly up, Along the line of the route Guide them freely. Do not hold your breath, Breathe in rhythm with the movements, And your lungs will be in good condition. Try to follow this technique while running And, of course, try to understand its subtleties.

TOPIC: “LONG DISTANCE RUN”
This is a set of athletics running disciplines at the stadium, combining various distances and hourly running. The classic, Olympic, distances are 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
Over 10,000 meters are held on the highway. According to the classification, such competitions are classified as "runs"
Long distance running - from 3 to 10 kilometers. To achieve high results it is necessary: to have high-speed endurance to be able to correctly calculate the speed of movement
Distances: The main thing in such a run is the correct footwork. The foot should be placed on the front of the arch with further smooth rolling over the entire foot.
High work of the hands and a slight inclination of the torso in the direction of movement. In addition, high arm work increases the frequency of movements and, allows you to maximize your running speed. The breathing technique is significantly different from similar techniques when jogging. In addition, it must prevail abdominal breathing. The ideal option is when the rhythm of breathing is fully coordinated with the frequency of steps and the work of the hands.
LONG-DISTANCE RUN: FOR SPRINTERS: injuries of the biceps femoris, gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of the lower leg, sprains, damage to the Achilles tendon, ankle ligaments. inflammatory diseases feet and lower legs - tendovaginitis and paratenonitis of the Achilles tendon myofasciitis that occurs during training on hard ground, with physical overload of the calf and soleus muscles traumatic neuritis, mainly of the sciatic nerve
Special types of runner training are carried out to develop endurance and speed qualities. Uses: repeated variable tempo run
DEVELOPING: hurdling running on various terrains ACHIEVING HIGH ENDURANCE RESULTS: running with weights running uphill on sand or soft ground as well as running in difficult weather conditions. choosing the right tactics for the distribution of forces
THE WORLD'S OLDEST MARATHON runner AND TRAVELER FAUJA SINGH At the age of 100, having overcome the marathon in 8:25.16, he became the first ...
Everyone knows that 10,000 meters is 10 kilometers. However, in athletics this is not entirely true. The world record in the hour run is 21,285 meters.
Dominance of their compatriots in long-distance running. The key to success in long-distance running, of course, is endurance.
FROM THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECARDS: Long-distance races. The longest distance. In 1929, it took place in the USA, along a 5898 km long track. American JOHNNY SALO overcame it in 79 days, showing a result of 525 hours. 57 min. 20 sec. ( average speed 11.21 km/h).
The longest distance. The longest distance is the New York 1300 mile run. In September 1995, GEORGE ERMOLAEVE (Latvia) overcame this distance with a record result: 16 days 16 hours. 28 min. 19 sec. Run long distances. Longest Runs. ROBERT SWEETGALL (USA) ran 17,071 km around America, starting and finishing in the US capital of Washington. This run lasted from October 9, 1982 to July 15, 1983.
Record mileage. DOUGLAS ALISTER GORDON PEERY (Great Britain), who set 5 world records in the 50s, over 40 years sports life(until 1981) ran a total of 347,600 km. Extra long distances (running along the track of the stadium) (women). 6 days. 6 days: 883.681 km SANDRA BARVIK ( New Zealand) Campbeltown, Australia, November 18-24, 1990
This group of types of athletics includes distances from 800 to 2000 m. At the beginning of the last century in Europe, these distances were called middle-tracker, however, unlike the "neighbors" - sprint and stayer running, this name of middle-distance running did not "take root".
Now in Olympic program four distances of this group are included - running at 800 and 1500 meters for men and women. Both men's distances were included in the program of the Games of the 1st Olympiad in 1896 and have since occupied a permanent place in it. Middle-distance running is not as lightning fast as sprint, and not as long as distance running, therefore it is very popular with spectators. The sharp rivalry of tactical options, the constant "play" of speeds - all this makes middle-distance running very attractive.
For the analysis of running technique, there are:
start
starting acceleration
distance running
finishing
In middle distance running, a high start is used.
At the whistle or the “Start” command, the runners quickly take up their original starting position, putting their jogging foot forward to the line without stepping on it. The second leg is placed on the back of the toe at a distance of one foot from the heel of the front leg. Both legs are slightly bent, the weight of the body is more transferred to the front leg, the gaze is directed in front of you. Opposite ahead standing leg the arm bent at the elbow, along with the shoulder, is brought forward, the second arm is retracted. The fingers are freely bent. On the command "March" or a shot, the runner on the slope, actively pushing himself, quickly starts running.
WITH T A R T ABOUT IN S Y R A W G O n
Starting acceleration should provide a set of the most optimal running speed for a given distance. More speed dial speed causes excessive energy expenditure and early acidification of the body. Most runners accelerate to 60-70m using a natural increase in stride frequency and length. The starting acceleration, when the running speed exceeds the average distance, is divided into a set of speed and its gradual decrease to the distance speed, which must be worked out in the training process.
In middle-distance running, the stride length is 190-220 cm at a frequency of 3.5-4.5 steps / s. The almost vertical position of the body (forward tilt does not exceed 4-5° and can vary within 2-3°) provides optimal conditions for bringing the leg forward. The arms are bent approximately at an angle of 90° and move freely back and forth in accordance with the movements of the legs. The work of the hands provides balance and helps to accelerate or slow down the pace of movement.
distances
The main features of the technique are defined as follows: the body is slightly tilted forward, the shoulders are slightly apart, the pelvis is somewhat pushed forward, the head is held straight, the chin is lowered, the muscles of the face and neck are not tense, the movements of the arms and legs are wide and free.
The transition to the finish line is carried out by a slight tilt of the torso forward and an increase in the frequency and length of the step in the last 200-400 m. Running at the finish line is close to sprinting in terms of characteristics, especially before the finish line. Some do a snatch or a ribbon throw. More advantageous is the uniform distribution of forces on the finish line. Many athletes specifically train their ability to finish acceleration.

Presentation on the topic: "Athletics running" Dzarasova Alina 9 "A"
Running Running is a natural way of getting around and is part of many sports. In athletics, running is divided into smooth, hurdles, relay and cross country. Running is performed with a wide step on the front of the foot, with full extension of the leg at the moment of repulsion from the ground and the removal of the thigh of the other leg forward and upward, the body is slightly tilted forward, arms are bent at the elbows, breathing is free.
Running athletics combine the following stadium disciplines: sprint (100 m, 200 m and 400 m), middle distance running (from 800 to 3000 m, including 3000 m hurdles), long distance running (classic distances 5000 m and 10 000 m), hurdling (110 m, 400 m) and relay (4×100 m, 4×200 m, 4×400 m, 4×800 m, 4×1500 m). All of them take place on the track of the stadium. Running competitions have been known since 776 BC. Running is one of the oldest sports for which official competition rules have been approved, having been included in the program since the very first modern Olympic Games in 1896. For runners, the most important qualities are: the ability to maintain high speed over a distance, endurance (for medium and long), speed endurance (for a long sprint), reaction and tactical thinking.
Running technique Running technique depends on many factors. The most significant are: - the individual characteristics of the athlete; - level physical fitness sportsman; - running distance; - the surface on which the run is performed; - terrain configuration; - climatic conditions.
Individual characteristics Individual characteristics of a runner-athlete include: 1) leg length; 2) mobility in the joints, especially in the hip; 3) the innate ratio of red and white muscle fibers that affect such physical qualities like speed and endurance. With an increase in the level of physical fitness, the running technique will also change, acquiring more rational and economical forms and content. First of all, the running speed will depend on the running distance and motor tasks, which will affect the running technique.
Conditions Running competitions are held at special athletics stadiums with equipped tracks. Summer stadiums usually have 8-9 lanes, winter stadiums have 4-6 lanes. The width of the track is 1.22 m, the line separating the tracks is 5 cm. Special markings are applied to the tracks, indicating the start and finish of all distances, and corridors for passing the baton. The competitions themselves almost do not require any special conditions. Of particular importance is the coating from which it is made. treadmill. Historically, at first the paths were earthen, cinder, asphalt. Currently, stadium tracks are made of synthetic materials such as tartan, recortan, regupol and others. For major international starts, the IAAF Technical Committee certifies the quality of the surface in several classes.
As shoes, athletes use special running shoes - spikes that provide good grip on the surface. Running competitions are held in almost any weather. In hot weather, long-distance running can also organize food stations.
Rules At the start, the athletes take their positions according to the lot or places taken at the previous stages of the competition. With the command “to start” (“on your marks”), they take places at the starting line or in the blocks (sprint). At the command “attention” (“ set ”), prepare for the start and must stop all movement (the command is applied only in the sprint). The “march” command is given by the starter by firing a starting pistol, to which an electronic timer is connected in major competitions. During the run, athletes should not interfere with each other, although when running, especially for long and medium distances, contacts between runners are possible. At distances from 100 m to 400 m, athletes run each in their own lane. At distances from 600 m - 800 m, they start on different lanes and after 200 m they go to the common track. 1000 m and more start the start with a general group at the start line. The athlete who crosses the finish line first wins.
