A study on the effects of different training methods on the biomechanical characteristics of sprinting in young track and field athletes
Abstract
In order to improve the level of sprinting, we should not only rely on scientific and technological progress, but also have scientific training methods. Based on this, this paper mainly starts from the perspective of sports biomechanics, and studies the influence of two training methods of “weight loss running platform” training and flat running training on sprint biomechanical characteristics of young track and field athletes. The research results show that: The movement curves of the main joints of the lower limbs in the training of “weight loss running platform” have the same basic characteristics as that of flat running. The safety protection of “weight loss running platform” can increase the density of athletes’ high-speed training, but athletes will produce involuntary technical adaptation phenomenon in the training of “weight loss running platform”, and there are some different technical characteristics.
