November 5, Florida, USA.

In the early morning, the sky is blue and the sun is falling brightly, and it feels extremely fresh for many athletes of the Chinese track and field team who have just begun to cool down in Yanjing, where the air quality is so high and the sky is high and the clouds are light.

On the track and field track of IMG Academy in Bradenton, a soothing and upbeat music resounds throughout the track and field field.

Zhang Peimeng, who was lying on the yoga mat, took a breath, sat up a little dazedly, looked at a few foreigners on the sidelines, and then turned his head to look at Ye Qin, who was on the yoga mat on the other side, and asked suspiciously: "This music, if you heard it correctly, it is like snow, right?" Where did these foreigners come from? ”

"Yes, the song only came out last year, but I didn't expect to hear it in the United States." Yang Yao, who was on the side, also stood up and shook the muscles of his body slightly, and also said a word.

The track and field team arrived at IMG Academy on the 27th of last month, and it has been exactly a week since today, and during this week, everyone began to contact the guidance of several top coaches of IMG Academy.

"Hey, Haydn, where did you get this song?"

Ye Qin lay on the yoga mat, his feet straight, and after making a few leg raises alternately from side to side, he asked a middle-aged black man next to him.

He uses English, which is one of the best among the many athletes who come to the United States to train, and Yang Yao can understand some of it, but he can't speak it. Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian basically need an interpreter to explain and introduce them.

"This is the warm-up music I prepared for your arrival, isn't it?" Haydn Combe grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "I think you guys will like it, this singer also has fast and intense rap, and when you start running, it can add a sense of rhythm to you." ”

"Very good." Ye Qin reached out and touched the other party gently after the other party walked over, "It reminds me of my coach, Randy Hunter." ”

Haydn Combe looked at the age of more than forty, but Ye Qin had read the other party's information, Haydn Combe was not only a strong sprinter before becoming a coach, but also had a master's degree in exercise physiology and sports biochemistry, which can be said to be the leading master of IMG Academy. A lot of training is carried out and analyzed in a scientific way, and the training plan is formulated to the most suitable for the individual's physiological characteristics.

"You said Randy, he's okay in China now, I haven't seen an old guy in a long time." Haydn Comb's smile widened when he heard Yechin mention Randy Hunter.

Randy Hunter is well-known among the top coaches and has been a coach at IMG Academy, helping IMG coach many great track and field athletes.

"He's busy coaching some of the long jump boys in China every day."

Ye Qin stood up and twisted his body from side to side, and did a stretch of his muscles before he breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

Coming to IMG Academy to experience the training here, many of them are similar to the way Randy Hunter trained him, the most obvious manifestation of which is to put on soothing music during the warm-up, and play intense and fast music when starting to practice or speed endurance running.

Of course, the biggest feeling that training at IMG Academy gave Ye Qin was that it was relatively systematic, with track practice in the morning and strength training in the afternoon.

"Then what did the foreigner say?" Zhang Peimeng watched Ye Qin and Haydn Comm chat, and asked with some puzzlement.

"Foreigners said that I bought a few CDs of Chinese singers for everyone, so that you feel as if you are in China." Yang Yao replied casually beside him.

"Brother Yang, you also know English?" Su Bingtian interjected with some curiosity.

"I also came to the United States to study abroad." Yang Yao shook his head and looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two can learn it when you have time, it's still useful." How do you say what Director Yuan said, we not only have to self-study, sort out and innovate, but also learn from a wide range of sources, if the language barrier can be passed, not only will there be a lot of competitions abroad in the future, you don't need to ask someone when you look at the training plan. ”

"That's right." The two nodded, and after coming to the United States, they found that although there were interpreters in the team, many things would be more important if they could communicate with each other, and some of their questions were now asked and answered by Ye Qin.

The main reason is that although the translator is very good at English, some professional vocabulary and some details of feelings and problems are not particularly accurate.

In addition, every day before the start of training, the IMG assistant coach will put the training plan in the pergola where the athletes rest early, and ask others from time to time if something is not good. Now they basically have an Oxford dictionary in their hands, and for an athlete, the content of these training plans is actually worth learning.

If you want to become a world-class athlete or coach, you either need to be able to read it or look it up in the dictionary yourself.

After completing a series of warm-ups such as body flips and leg lifts on the yoga mat, the next warm-up is carried out.

The warm-up training program arranged by IMG is very detailed and detailed, some of which we have come into contact with, and some of which we have never seen before. One of the more innovative ones is the ball throwing training of solid balls, which is still less used in China.

Standing on the runway, Ye Qin grabbed the solid ball with both hands, first after glancing at the fact that there was no one behind him. Taking a light breath, he jerked the solid ball up with both hands and threw it backwards.

The solid ball slashed behind and landed on the ground with a thud as it rolled into the distance.

A solid ball the size of a basketball, weighing about 4 kilograms, is a more interesting kind of boring training when the player grabs the ball with both hands and throws it backwards or forwards.

Each throw is very obvious for mobilizing the strength and explosiveness of the muscles of the whole body, and it can enter an integrated state of the body muscles as quickly as possible.

For sprinters, it is this power that the body explodes quickly after the gunshots of the race.

Ye Qin has a lot of training experience in sprinting in recent years, and his understanding of sprinting has gradually improved, and he understands that the most important thing about sprinting is not simply lower body strength, waist and abdominal strength, or upper body or that part of the strength.

Rather, it is able to integrate the all-round strength of the body in the process of running, running is a process in which the muscles of the whole body are working, and it is also a process in which all aspects of the body are closely coordinated.

Emphasis is placed on core strength, but it also requires the coordination of all parts of the body.

Like long jumpers, pole vaulters, etc., these athletes are not weak in sprinting, on the one hand, they have rhythm, and on the other hand, they have strong body coordination and explosiveness. Put it in the sprint, and the embodiment is very obvious.

For example, Zhang Peimeng in the team, his lower body strength is not strong, but his body coordination is very good, although he is not full of strength like many muscular athletes, his steps are light, his stride is large and stable, and the speed reflected in the track is very good.

After the warm-up training of the three sets of solid balls, before everyone went to the starting line, they adjusted the runner to their own suitable distance.
