Chapter 283: Altitude Training
South of the clouds.
On a magnificent plateau, an off-road vehicle has completed the last stretch of asphalt and begins to stop.
In the front section, the road surface is rough, and the gravel roadbed at the bottom can be faintly seen. The upper layer of the road seems to have just been shoveled by a large forklift, and the construction truck pulling earth and gravel is parked on the side of the road, and many workers are busy renovating it.
Getting off the off-road vehicle, Jiang Daheng wiped the sweat on his head, his breathing was slightly short, and he turned his head and shouted to a figure wearing a gray jacket on the other side: "Hu Gong, how long will it take to finish this last section of the road?" ”
"It's probably going to be a month." The man in the gray jacket was a middle-aged man about forty years old, with rough skin, smiling and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "I really didn't expect that a training team would come over so soon, otherwise I would have asked the workers to work harder and get the road done first." ”
Hu Xu said and pointed ahead, and continued: "But don't worry, the first phase of the project has been completed for a while, the track and field and dormitory buildings have been completed, and there must be no problem with training, but the conditions are a little worse." ”
"Su Zu, what do you think? It's the same if I want to say that going to the Chenggong training base is the same, except for the athletes of a few teams there, the conditions are much stronger than this. Jiang Daheng raised his head and looked at Su Zu who was looking at the distance on the other side and asked.
They are now located in the latest national key sports training base in southern Yunnan, and the Haigen training base is still under renovation as a key training base for the 2008 Olympic Games.
"It's good here." Su Zu looked at the large open space in the distance, although there were still many places under construction, but the trees were shady and the vision was wide, which could be said to be quite good. More importantly, it is far away from the suburbs, there are few people, blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the environment is particularly comfortable.
"I think it's not bad here, except that there is a site that continues to be renovated, in fact, the main renovation is almost complete, and the training is enough." Zhang Pingqiu next to him walked around, looked at the surrounding environment, and then said, "Besides, I don't train so quickly now, Master Jiang, you are a little out of breath when you ride in the car here, we also have to adapt to it for a while, Su Zu just happened to recuperate, and then we will carry out the next stage of winter training when Li Gui comes over." ”
"Well, you can say what you are." Jiang Daheng walked a few steps with his waist up, although the altitude here is not high, it is still a little uncomfortable for some people who are not physically adaptable.
Su Zu is also quite satisfied with this training base in southern Yunnan Province, although some of the infrastructure is not yet in place compared to the other Chenggong base, and the infrastructure of some other venues, such as lawns, is still in a state of cultivation.
But he is practicing track and field, sprinting, and these actually have little impact.
The most important thing is that there are few people here. At least until the overall renovation is completed, there will be no other training teams. According to Wu Xingguo, the person in charge of the party, the overall completion time will not be until the end of 2006.
Moreover, after the completion of the construction of this Haigen training base, it will integrate the resources of the original Chenggong training base and the Songmao water training base, and integrate training, scientific research, education, and service as a comprehensive training base on the plateau. The Chenggong training base had another large-scale expansion in later generations, and on the whole, several training bases in southern Yunnan Province were very good.
Su Zu left Jinling two days before the closing ceremony of the National Games and came directly to Yunnan Province to train in order to be able to obtain a quieter training environment.
It is said that the conditions are poor, but in fact, the conditions are still very good, this was originally a training base, and all the things that should be there are complete, but it is just a re-expansion and decoration.
This is also very welcome by the Yunnan Province side, and has repeatedly promised to keep it secret from the outside world during Suzu's training and will not be disturbed.
Of course, the training base is a national resource, and it will definitely not be monopolized by him alone, but just stationed in advance. Moreover, the sprint training in athletics has much lower requirements for venues and facilities than many other sports.
Along the way, Su Zu looked at the surrounding scenes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a little relaxed.
Haigen Training Base is located on the shore of Dianchi Lake, overlooking the famous scenic spot Xishan Longmen, and there are several ethnic villages adjacent to it.
Although it is not really far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, it is relatively quiet. Moreover, the training base is mainly for renovation and development, and it is not a major construction, so it will not really make people feel that they are on a large construction site, boiling and shouting.
After more than a year of going out to compete, Su Zu still feels that such an environment is quiet, and he feels a little baptized.
The main sports carried out in altitude training in China are generally concentrated in endurance sports such as middle-distance running, race walking, swimming, cycling, rowing, etc., or ball games such as football and basketball, which require endurance, physical fitness and confrontation.
For sprinting, throwing, sprinting and other events, it is still in a relatively backward stage.
On the one hand, it is affected by the traditional sprinting training method, and on the other hand, altitude training is easy to cause muscle strength to decline or due to insufficient intensity, so that the stimulation is not deep and it is not easy to improve performance.
In fact, many foreign sprint sprint cross-class training have been involved in altitude training, and Nikolai Antonov, a lecturer at the Bulgarian Sports Technology Society, has discussed a lot in the book "Altitude Training for Sprinters", and of course there are many controversies.
The reason why Li Zhizhong asked Zhang Pingqiu to take Su Zu to the Haigen training base was also to let Su Zu adapt for a period of time.
The Haigen training base is 1,800 to 2,000 meters above sea level, which is actually a sub-plateau in the strict sense. In fact, there is a threshold in the altitude training of athletes, that is, beyond a certain altitude, the maximum oxygen uptake of the human body will gradually decrease with the increase of altitude, based on the principle that ultra-extreme load can be used to develop the muscular nervous system and the anaerobic energy synthesis required for speed, which is very conducive to speed and strength sports training.
In addition to several sub-plateau training bases in southern Yunnan Province, a new plateau training base was built in southwest Tibet, and the training program has expanded from traditional endurance events to speed events such as sprinting, hurdles, and ball games.
Of course, in 2005, in fact, there were still very few speed-type projects training at plateau and sub-plateau bases. This is also the concept that Li Zhizhong has learned and absorbed in IMG Academy before.
And in order to prevent the official start of winter training from abnormal conditions, Su Zu and others were arranged in advance to come over first. On the one hand, it is to allow the body to recover, after all, away from the crowd, to be able to calm down, and on the other hand, it is also gradually adapted, and some low-intensity training can be carried out.
The group crossed the section of the road that was still being renovated and entered the training base.
The plastic track of the track and field field has not been paved for a long time, and the color is gorgeous, like a colorful pattern under the blue sky and white clouds.
"I'll go on two trips first."
Su Zu took off his coat, moved his muscles and bones on the spot, and prepared to go down for a warm-up run. Flying from Jinling to southern Yunnan, all the way to the plane and car, the body has long wanted to move.
"Just relax and run." Zhang Pingqiu took Su Zu's coat, and then instructed, "Don't be too strong, you are mainly in the recovery stage now, and Doctor Xu is also coordinating a few people with experience in plateau medical security in the urban area to come over." ”
"Got it!"
Su Zu nodded in response, it was the first time to train and run on such a sub-plateau with a wide view and fresh air, and for a while he felt a little excited in all aspects of his body.
The sound of footsteps sounded on the track and field field, and when Jiang Daheng followed the person in charge of the renovation of the training base to the track and field, he saw Su Zu running on the track.
"Well, this is running?" Hu Xu, the person in charge of the renovation of the training base, was still a little surprised, but he didn't expect Su Zu to start training as soon as he arrived.
Jiang Daheng gasped twice, and sighed with some emotion, "This is an athlete, you can't be idle." ”
