While speed is often viewed as the defining characteristic of elite
athletic performance, there remains plenty of misinformation and
confusion about what speed truly is and how it can be developed.
Speed is far more than seconds on a stopwatch-it is the result of
multiple anatomical systems working together in highly coordinated
unison, from the cross-body co-contractions of deep myofascial
tissues to the pulsing contract-and-release cycle of the nervous
system. The Anatomy of Speed is a resource like no other. Bill
Parisi, the internationally recognized expert and founder of Parisi
Speed School, delves deep into the physiological mechanisms of
speed through in-depth interviews with top experts and researchers
in the field. The text provides scientifically proven exercises and
drills for developing speed that will help performance coaches and
athletes more effectively maximize development of this precious
attribute. Using detailed photo sequences, enhanced with anatomical
overlays, you will understand the different manifestations of
speed, the biomotor systems that drive them, and scientifically
proven drills and exercises for developing these abilities:
Acceleration Maximum velocity Deceleration Change of direction
Agility Maneuverability Speed-specific strength The Anatomy of
Speed converts the science into practical application, allowing you
to select the most effective drills and exercises, and tailor a
training program unique to your athlete's needs. The
exercises-which are each designated as basic, moderate, or
advanced-are organized by complexity and speed-related categories.
Exercises aimed at improving range of motion and priming the
nervous system set the stage for optimal results. Speed-specific
strength exercises use equipment like free weights, medicine balls,
and sleds to target important speed and change-of-direction
qualities. A practical programming chapter helps you assemble it
all into individualized training based on sport, position, body
type, skill level, movement preference, and training history. Speed
comes in many forms. It is a physical skill that can be developed
and improved with targeted training and a solid understanding of
mechanics. The Anatomy of Speed offers equal parts science, art,
and practical application to do just that. CE exam available! For
certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam can
be completed after reading this book. The Anatomy of Speed Online
CE Exam may be purchased separately or as part of The Anatomy of
Speed With CE Exam package that includes both the book and the
exam.
