Greek Super League Covid-19 : Asteras Tripolis fc Virtual Training - Home Workout

Asteras Tripolis F.c   Home Workout

We try to find solution how we can control the players and simultaneus

create one Team Activity .We started with Scype but we had some

problems because all depends from the signal of each player ,after try to

find a better solution thanks to the help the Team Analyst 

of the team which created a very reliable base for meeting .Now we make

3 Times per week Core Strengthening Exercises plus Cardio and

at the same time we use one application for mobile phones or for watches to

control and the Running part which ise very important at this period.

We run 4 times per week and after the running each player sent to us the results

which are very useful to us .( Each player has his own file )

I like to thank you for the collaboration and the assist  all the staff

Coach :Milan Rastavac  A.Coach :Milos Vacic  but especially the Team Analyst

Tsilimigras Theo because without him we cannot make this excellent work presentation .

Important Notice :Solutions for Hamstring Injuries

ASPETAR HAMSTRING PROTOCOL

Seeing lately in many countries the muscular problems that exist especially in the hamstrings, I make a bracketing in the presentations with the high intensity interval training  and give you a very nice video from Aspetar to rehabilitate and prevent  muscle injuries in the Hamstrings. The video is in the right position of the site.

Μilan Training 04.09.2018 : 4 days after the win

with AS Roma (2-1 ) for the Serie A  the Coach

G.Gattuso and his Staff chose this Fartlek Training

to improve the Aerobic and Anaerobic Capacity.

The Duration of this circuit is about 8'min and the 

diagonal lines (running on pairs ) the fast parts of

the Fartlek are (50m+50m) (90-100m+90-100m)

(110-120m+110-120m ). Total : 800-850m 

100-200-250-200-100m approximately .As we 

can understand due to the interruption of the 

championship they wants to give again a stimulus to 

the aerobic and anaerobic mechanism  with 

one trainingwith a lot of Intensive Runs (19-25km/h ) 

Met Power ,% V>16 , Acc /Dec .Ιi is also worth mentioning 

that inside in the Circuit they put Lunges (Forward +Reverse)

something that is not so common in Fartlek Training.

Simultaneusly with the running they have and Injury Prevention

via this functional movements and we must note something,

before the Fartlek they made Core Stability Training.

It is very good to combine Core Stability +F.M exercises.

I think that is a very good medium to high intensity

training  for the Season and for the Pre Season period.

HIITraining in Soccer Sample (2) Potenza Aerobica (Metabolic Power Training)

Specific endurance: Intermittent work and SSG in alternating reduced spaces

Specific resistance: intermittent work and games in alternating reduced spaces

What I propose to you today is a job we did at the beginning of November this year. The aim is to solicit the "specific resistance", ie the ability to sustain "repeatedly" high - intensity jobs.

First we divide the team into 2 groups that, alternatively, will perform the 2 proposals, one to "dry" and one through the use of the ball, which I will go to offer you.

The first proposal consists in performing an intermittent work 15 "- 15" on a 24mt shuttle run. Specifically, our players will have to perform in 15 "3 times the 24m or 72mt in 15" and then recover "passively" for another 15 ".

The second proposal consists in performing the exercises of 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 (depending on the players present) in a 30m x 30m space with a goal defended by the goalkeeper. The attacking team will have the task to make a goal in the goal defended by the goalkeeper while the team that defends, as soon as it recovers the ball, will have the goal to exceed the goal line behind the attackers having the opportunity to exploit the numerical superiority 5 vs 4 thanks to the goalkeeper.

As already explained at the beginning of the article, the work we performed consists in alternating the groups in the 2 proposals by performing 2 'of work and 2' of recovery. So a series is completed when the 2 groups have performed the 2 proposals. We have performed 3 complete series for a total of 24 'of work.

I noticed that in the last series the guys were really "tired" and struggled to maintain a high rhythm in the proposal with the ball. In this case I think it is preferable maybe at the end of the 2 series to give 30 "more recovery to keep up the pace.

Modern Functional Strength Training in the Gym (2)

One more Functional Strength Training inside in the Gym from Internazionale fc period 2015-16.
This training you can use in the season or in the preparation period after the second or 3rd week.
The process of the training is in circuit model as we make all the fitness coaches and contains modern exercises especially for the Gluteus-Quads-Hamstrings (more important muscles).
1.Concentrics jumps on Box.(Quadriceps-Calves)
2.Pivot movements with m.b on the wall.(Upper body-abs)
3.Tirante musculador with eccentric mode for the hamstrings.(Hamstrings)
4.Single Leg Squat with Jump on Trx.(Quadriceps)
5.Side movements with elastic long band-Speed accelerator. (Abductor-Adductor)
6.Alternate Lunges with Bar .(Quadriceps-Gluteus)
7.Heavy ropes. (Upper body)
8.Mini bands Movements (Gluteus-Abductors)
Similar training with these are the training of my teams Asteras Tripolis (2-3) and Panetolikos (1) which are on the side of my blog ,in small videos. I made this training as a whole training on Wednesday morning or before the afternoon training If we have single training like Pre activation training.

*** The next days follows one Butt work out  very useful for each fitness coach. Coming soon..
 

Modern Functional Strength Training in the Gym (1)

Allenamento Internazionale fc 16.04.2015

This is a normal Functional Strength Training in Modern Football  inside in the Gym.As  can be seen, they eliminated the static strength exercises and their place was taken kinetic exercises or static but dynamic performance .The fitness football influenced by other sports in issue (volleyball-basketball etc).The main features found in a well organized strength training in gym are :

1.Few kg in the exercises (free weights or machines-leg curl,leg extension )
2.Μοre explosive in their execution.
3.Combination Eccentric +Concentric exercises (Eccentric exercises=Injury Prevention).
4.Neuromascular Coordination Exercises after one exercise ore between exercises.
5.Abandoned the long duration in exercises , for example 30''/30'' and began to use shorter 15''/15''or 15''/10''
6.Functional Strength=Elastic Strength 
7.HIT Circuit Training =Ιmproves the player's ability to tolerance of fatigue while improving its ability to assume the heartbeats.
8.Dynamic balance and Proprioceptive exercises inside the stations.

***Τhe next days I 'll give you and more video -examples-of the Functional Strength Training in Soccer

 

Hamstring Injuries : Prevention - Rehabilitation Part 1

Hamstring Strain Exercises

The following strengthening exercises for the rehabilitation of hamstring injuries should be done progressively as part of our hamstring strain rehab program.

Hamstring rehabilitation exercises

The following is for information purposes only. We recommend seeking professional advice. Below are a number of progressively more difficult hamstring exercises. They should always be done pain free. Where you start and how fast you progress will depend on how bad your injury is and how long ago it was injured.

Isometric contractions

The athlete lies on their front in the prone position.  The partner or therapist provides resistance as the athlete contracts the hamstring muscles, holds for 3 or 4 seconds then relaxes. The angle of knee flexion is changed and the exercise repeated. Once a range of angles have been worked the whole process is repeated with the foot first turned first inwards then outwards. This exercise targets the inner and outer hamstring muscles at varying angles of flexion or knee bend.

Standing knee flexion

The athlete stands on one leg and bends the other one using gravity as resistance. This can be done gently and slowly to start with as an early stage exercise. Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions once a day building to 4 sets of 20 reps. Ankle weights can be used to increase the load further. As the athlete returns to running this exercise can be performed more explosively.

Hamstring catches

The leg is allowed to fall and the hamstring muscle catches the leg before it falls to the horizontal. It may take a while to get used to this one. The athlete must stay relaxed as the leg falls under the influence of gravity and only contracts the hamstring muscles to prevent the foot landing. This starts to work the muscles eccentrically with a very light dynamic training effect.
This should be done pain free both during, afterwards as well as the next day. A little bit of natural muscle soreness the following day is OK but if it is uncomfortable then take a step back. Again begin with 1 set of 10 reps and build up each day to 3 sets of 15 reps. An ankle weight can be used to increase the load on the muscle.

Bridge exercises

The athlete lies on their back, knees bent and pushes the hips upwards to work the gluteual miuscles and hamstrings. Use both feet on the floor pushing up to begin with. Hold the position briefly and then lower. Begin with 3 sets of 8 reps building to 3 sets of 12 reps then progress the exercise to single leg bridges.
Single leg bridges are done in the same way ensuring you squeeze the gluteal muscles and aim to maintain a straight line from the shoulder on the ground to the knee at the top point of the exercise. Again, begin with 3 x 8 reps and build up.

Seated hamstring curl

This is a deceptively difficult exercise which works the hamstring muscles specifically in a very contracted close range of movement.One end of a resistance band is tied to a fixed point or held by a partner and the other end secured to the foot. The athlete pulls the heel into the buttocks contracting the hamstring muscle to do so. Aim for 3 sets of 8 reps to begin building up to 3 sets of 12 or 15.

Single leg hip extensions

This is a more advanced version of a bridge. Using a step or box the athlete rests on their elbows and alternates each leg putting the heel down on the floor maintaining good core stability. It is important to keep the hips and shoulders still. As the heel touches the ground the gluteal muscles and hamstrings have to work isometrically to keep the body stable. This also works the hamstring muscles in a similar position as they are in when sprinting or accelerating.

Single leg ball pick up

This is another deceptively difficult hamstring exercise which looks easy at first glance. However with this one it is important to judge muscle soreness the next day before over doing this one. It works the hamstring muscles in a very stretched position, particularly the muscle fibers nearer the buttocks.
The athlete places on foot in front of the other and bends down to pick up the medicine ball. They then repeat the movement to put the ball back down. Repeat this 5 to 10 times.

Lunge with ball

A basic lunge is performed while holding a ball to aid balance. This exercise strengthens the glutes, hamstring muscles and quadriceps muscles. The athlete stands with the injured leg a wide stance in front of the other. Holding a medicine ball close to the chest the weight is shifted onto the front leg and back knee bent dropping it down to the floor.

Good mornings

Another deceptively difficult exercise which looks easy but checking the level of muscle soreness the next day is important before doing to many of these is important. This exercise is a more advanced version of the single leg ball pick up and works the lower back and hamstring muscles eccentrically, especially the fibers towards the top of the thigh. The athlete bends forwards at the waist keeping the back straight. This also works the hamstrings as they stretch..

Norwegion leg curl

One of the most advanced hamstring exercises. The athlete kneels down while the therapist holds the ankles. They then slowly lean forwards as far as they can under control using the hamstrings to resist the forwards movement. A super advanced version of this is to use the hamstrings to curl back up again.

TRX-Allenamento Funzionale per Calcio




Come nasce il TRX?
L'ideatore è stato un militare deiNavy SEAL (forze speciali dei marines americani) che, insieme ai suoi compagni, doveva trovare un modo per mantenersi sempre in ottima forma.

Quali sono i vantaggi?
Il primo vantaggio, non da poco, è che il TRX può essere utilizzato ovunque, in palestra, a casa o in una stanza d'albergo durante i viaggi e all'aperto, basta un punto sicuro dove ancorarsi in grado di sostenere il nostro peso corporeo. Con il TRX è possibile effettuare un numero infinito di esercizi e loro combinazioni, che permettono di allenare dal neofita fino all'atleta di altissimo livello. Questo è possibile in quanto la resistenza di utilizzo può essere modificata subitaneamente cambiando la posizione del corpo.
Rispetto ai metodi tradizionali di allenamento, l'uso del TRX ha il vantaggio di aumentare simultaneamente la forza funzionale, la flessibilità, l'equilibrio e la stabilità del tronco. Tutto questo con esercizi che possono trovare un facile transfert negli sport e nei movimenti della vita di tutti i giorni.
Lo strumento è davvero super versatile, lo uso per allenare la forza, l'ipertrofia, la resistenza specifica e il sistema cardiocircolatorio (si fanno dei circuiti senza riposo che battono di gran lunga la noiosa corsa al tappeto). Con un peso totale di 812 grammi si sostituisce un'intera palestra. Ad essere precisi, più che sostituire, posso asserire che i risultati sono migliori rispetto all'utilizzo delle classiche macchine che troviamo in palestra. Quest'ultime costringono a sedersi ed allenare un singolo muscolo in un unico piano alla volta, è esattamente il contrario di quello che facciamo praticando uno sport o per compiere i movimenti che affrontiamo durante la nostra vita. Il corpo si muove su tutti e tre piani simultaneamente ed il TRX consente proprio la programmazione dei movimenti lungo qualsiasi piano utilizzando contemporaneamente tutti i piani: l'allenamento in 3D!

Cambi di Direzione Una analisi

ESERCIZIO PERCORSI DI RESISTENZA SPECIALE ALLA FORZA


Questo modello di attivita intermittente svolta ad intensita massimale,svillupato con il metodo proposto da Cappana (2000) ,costituisce una tipologia di allenamento che impone elevate sollecitazioni di tipo prevalentemente Anaerobico ,e consente l'incremento della capacita di recupero in tempi brevi.Durante l'attivita si sottopongono i muscoli ad elevate sollecitazioni in regime eccentrico (fase di decelerazione) ed in regime concentrico (repentine accelerazioni nei cambi di direzione) con reitarati impegni di forza esplosiva .Il calciatore nell'effetuare scatti di diversa lunghezza ,cambi di direzione con angoli variabili ,nel recuperare con pause la cui durata viene continuamente modificata ,si adattera progressivamente a ripetere azioni techniche proprie della motricita specifica.

La fase eccentrica di un cambiamento di direzione, come d’altronde anche quella di un salto o di uno sprint, costituiscono un momento estremamente delicato e potenzialmente pericoloso per l’integrità del complesso muscolo-tendineo. Tuttavia se analizziamo tutta la cinematica del movimento possiamo accorgerci che in effetti la fase eccentrica fa parte di un continuum che, in quanto tale, si svolge senza soluzione di continuità e che è giusto considerare ed allenare nella sua totalità, perché è proprio in tal modo che il muscolo si comporta durante l’attività specifica. Osserviamo la sequenza fotografica sottoriportata che illustra proprio un cambiamento di direzione. Nella prima fase (immagine A) il muscolo cede eccentricamente verso il basso, in questa fase in un primo tempo il complesso muscolare viene bruscamente stirato e solo verso la fine dell’allungamento produce una forza eccentrica molto alta per frenare il movimento stesso , forza dell’ordine di circa 2 / 2.5 volte il proprio peso (quindi circa 150 — 180 kg per un atleta di 75 kg). E’ proprio in questa fase che il muscolo rischia di insultarsi, sia per la violenza dello stiramento (nella prima fase), che per la forte tensione che deve sviluppare (seconda fase). Immediatamente dopo la fase eccentrica segue una brevissima fase che potremmo definire di "stabilizzazione isometrica" (immagine B) , sulla quale s’innesta senza soluzione di continuità una contrazione concentrica di tipo esplosivo (immagine C) che corrisponde al momento in cui la gamba si estende. Come riprodurre "a secco", durante l’allenamento di muscolazione, la stessa sequenza di attivazione muscolare, in modo da allenare e condizionare il muscolo al movimento specifico? Il concetto di quello che ho denominato "eccentrico flash con carico" è proprio questo: riprodurre nell’allenamento di muscolazione in palestra lo stesso pattern di attivazione neuromuscolare che ritroviamo nel ciclo eccentrico-isometrico-concentrico esplosivo, tipico dei movimenti balistici come il cambio di direzione il balzo ecc. 

Serie consigliate: da 3 a 6

Ripetizioni : 6

Tempi di recupero: circa 5’, possibilmente attivo   

Argomento:

Metodologia dell'allenamento del calcio Gian, Nicola Bisciotti ,Nuovo Calcio ,2001

Allo scopo di proseguire gli obiettivi programmati e anche importante l'esecuzione tecnica dei movimenti durante la fase di arresto e di cambio di direzione che devono essere compiuti :

1.la decelerazione ,effettuata con il corretto abbassamento del baricentro
2.la capacita di gestire l'ampiezza degli ultimi passi che deve essere tale da consentire di controllare il corpo nel cambio di direzione,ma allo stesso tempo non deve rallentare in maniera eccessiva l'avvicinamento verso il punto in cui si effetuara l'arresto e la ripartenza.
3.l'esecuzione dell ultimo appogio ,che serve ad ammortizare l'energia cinetica del corpo e per questo scopo deve essere piu ampio dei precedenti e realizzato con l'arto asterno rispetto alla successiva direzione di corsa.
4.una immediata riaccelerazione con spinta a terra efficaci. (Sassi-Tibaudi 2004 'La modulazione del carico nella preparazione del calciatore')
