Chapter 441 Mallorca Training Camp



Chapter 441 Mallorca Training Camp

And at the Mallorca base, Li Yuxin was not the only one who trained, and a group of young people from China came to train together, and the most outstanding performer was a young man named Feng Dongfang.

And he was lucky enough to meet a strict and famous teacher
You know, Oliver Bartlett is an expert in physical fitness training. He made a small fuss for a youth team player, which in itself is not easy.

In Feng Dongfang's first physical training class, Bartlett did not immediately arrange a physical training plan for Feng Dongfang, but asked Feng Dongfang a question with his arms folded: "How do you understand physical fitness, young man?"

After listening to Ji Dong's translation, Feng Dongfang didn't understand why the coach asked this question, but he still answered honestly: "It's endurance."

"Wrong." After hearing the answer, Bartlet shook his head.

"Wrong?" Feng Dongfang was very surprised. He has always understood physical fitness in this way. Physical fitness equals endurance. Players with good physical fitness have good endurance. They can run longer and farther on the court. Is there anything wrong with this?
And it's not just him who understands it this way, in football games, fm and live football... all understand it this way.

How can this be wrong?
Seeing Feng Dongfang's surprised expression, Bartlett asked him back: "I heard from Tim that you have been insisting on going for a morning jog every morning?"

Feng Dongfang nodded proudly.With his personality, it is indeed something to be proud of being able to persist for so long.

But Bartlett didn't see it that way.

He directly denied Feng Dongfang's practice of increasing physical fitness by jogging: "Although jogging at a balanced pace on the field and in the park can improve your jogging ability, such training cannot improve your physical fitness in the game. Physical fitness is not just a simple concept of 'endurance'. Remember, football is a kind of sport, which includes many sprints and high-intensity anaerobic movements. There are some low-intensity aerobic recovery periods in between, so as to prepare for the next high-intensity operation round."

Feng Dongfang opened his mouth wide after listening to Ji Dong's translation.

Seeing Feng Dongfang's expression, Ji Dong asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh... the coach said it very well, but... can he say it again?"

Ji Dong knew that Feng Dongfang didn't understand, so he said to Bartlett: "Can you explain in detail? Don't have so many technical terms..."

"To put it simply, you will sprint, shoot, jump, tackle or steal the ball during the game. These are high-intensity anaerobic movements. Your body needs to consume adenosine tritsubishilate, or aTP for short, and use some glucose to supply muscles for these high-intensity movements." Bartlett explained.

Although there are still many technical terms, Feng Dongfang understands this time, that is, what kind of aTP and glucose the body needs to consume if it wants to do movements.

"Then players will recover during the low-intensity phase of the game, such as walking, jogging, and standing, so that aTP will be replenished and lactic acid will be eliminated. Lactic acid is what causes your body to feel sore after a large amount of exercise. Lactic acid is metabolized by aerobic metabolism, which is one of the reasons why people breathe heavily after slowing down or stopping strenuous exercise."

Bartlett continued to explain. He explained with practical examples. Even though his mouth was still full of professional terms, Feng Dongfang could still understand.

To put it simply, rest is needed after strenuous exercise so that the body can recover and gain energy to continue strenuous exercise.

“The interval between a player’s return to high-intensity exercise depends on how quickly he replenishes aTP, how much lactic acid is metabolized, and how well some other electrolytic process associated with muscle contraction is done. Recovery is an aerobic process. The higher a player’s aerobic capacity, the faster he recovers and the more often he can run at full speed. Therefore, the longer the period of time he can perform at his best without fatigue.”

"So, what we mean by physical fitness in football is not simply your ability to run for a long time, but your ability to recover quickly. Football is not a marathon. You don't need to run non-stop for 10 minutes. Instead, there will be a lot of frequent anaerobic exercise. If your body cannot quickly recover from anaerobic exercise, then you will naturally not be able to last long in the game, and you will easily feel fatigued."

"Once you understand what physical fitness is in football, you can understand why I said that jogging in the park will not improve your physical fitness in the game. Because improving your jogging ability will not allow you to quickly recover energy in the game."

Feng Dongfang was dumbfounded, but this time it wasn't because he didn't understand, but because he was shocked by the professionalism of professional football clubs.

Yes, after hearing Bartlett's words now, his mind is full of two words: professional!
This is a professional!
I used to think that running [-] meters with sandbags would be enough for my physical fitness, but now I realize that is nonsense.

And not only him, judging from the slogan of "[-] meters a day" in Haigeng's spring training before, Chinese football is not very professional...

No wonder the level of Chinese football is not improving.

If the Chinese football practitioners are so unprofessional, they still think about going out of Asia and going to the world... that is indeed a dream.

The Chinese team has participated in the World Cup finals once in history, but that time was just luck, and it does not mean that the strength of Chinese football has improved. Everyone has seen what happened later, which fully shows that Chinese football has not yet found the right direction.

Later, Feng Dongfang further saw the professionalism of European giants clubs.

After Bartlett explained to Feng Dongfang what the concept of "physical fitness" in football is, he did not immediately start training Feng Dongfang, but conducted a test on Feng Dongfang.According to him, this is to detect the distribution ratio of fiber types in Feng Dongfang's muscles.

Based on the previous explanation of fitness, it can be seen that football players cycle between anaerobic and aerobic exercise during the game.In the human body, there are two kinds of muscle fibers corresponding to these two kinds of movements.

Large fast-twitch fibers can generate large amounts of tension very quickly, but cannot sustain that amount of tension over multiple contractions.Smaller, slow-twitch fibers generate less tension at a slower rate, but can sustain repeated contractions.

Therefore, fast-twitch fibers can generate a large amount of anaerobic energy for the rapid generation of tension. When players sprint, jump, tackle, and shoot, they need explosive power, and what works in the body is anaerobic energy.Slow-twitch fibers, on the other hand, can generate large amounts of aerobic energy for repeated contractions.

The distribution of fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibers is largely determined by genetics, which is called "talent".

Some people are born to run fast, which means that there is a higher proportion of fast muscle fibers in the body.

It is impossible to change the distribution ratio of muscle fibers through acquisition, so we must first figure out which type of muscle fibers Feng Dongfang has more, so that we can make targeted training arrangements.

It's not what everyone thinks, Feng Dongfang's physical fitness is not good, so he will go directly to the training content to enhance his physical fitness.

How to test Feng Dongfang's muscle fiber distribution?
In fact, it is also very simple, just test the muscle endurance.First of all, put on the equipment to test the maximum force of Feng Dongfang’s muscle contraction. For example, if you want to test the muscle fiber ratio of some muscles in your legs, let Feng Dongfang sit on the adjustable leg kicker, and then let him push hard on the front baffle, and then gradually increase the weight. Observe Feng Dongfang’s situation. If Feng Dongfang really can’t push a certain weight, then the weight he can push the last time is the maximum strength of his muscle contraction.

Then take 80.00% of this maximum strength as the strength standard for testing.Let Feng Dongfang repeat training on this strength to see how many times he can persist.

If it is more than fifteen times, it means that this part of the muscle has a high proportion of slow-twitch fibers.If it's less than five reps, it means a high proportion of fast-twitch fibers.

Just such a part of the muscle test.

Finally Bartlett came to a conclusion.

The ratio of Feng Dongfang's fast-twitch fibers to slow-twitch fibers is 54:46.

He has fewer slow-twitch fibers, so he has less energy.

This result made Feng Dongfang a little disappointed: "Doesn't that mean that I am born with poor physical fitness, and it is useless to improve my physical fitness?"

Bartlett shook his head: "If this is the case, what do we need our physical fitness coaches to do? Our physical fitness coaches are specially responsible for cultivating and enhancing your physical fitness. You need to know, young man. Speed ​​is born, but physical fitness can be improved through acquired training."

He patted Feng Dongfang on the shoulder: "So don't worry, you won't be able to play only half a game forever."

Feng Dongfang quickly argued, "It's seven and ten minutes."

But Bartlett didn't care about the difference.

"Almost." He shrugged. "Okay, that's the end of today."

Feng Dongfang was surprised: "No more training?"

"I'll start training after I go back to formulate a targeted training plan for you." Bartlett said. "Tomorrow we will start formal training. Today, you should take a good rest first. Don't be too tired. You will start training after flying from China. This is not good for showing your own attitude. Remember, rest is the first step in physical training. If you don't have a good rest, you don't want to train well."

Bartlett picked up the notebook that recorded all of Feng Dongfang's muscle data and left. Feng Dongfang was still in a daze, pondering over his last words.

Rest is the first step in physical training…

This is the first time he has heard of it.

But...seems to make sense!
Professional!
"Mr. Bartlett has such an attitude. He speaks very straightforwardly. He doesn't like nonsense. So don't take it to heart, Feng Dongfang." But Ji Dong thought that Feng Dongfang was stunned because he was stimulated by Bartlett's words, and quickly comforted him.

Feng Dongfang shook his head: "How could it be, Mr. Ji Dong. There is such a coach who directly pointed out my problems, saving all of us time. I am too happy. Don't worry, Mr. Ji Dong. I am not glass-hearted!"

"That's good." Ji Dong laughed. "Okay, let's leave too. Did you forget that you are moving today?"

Feng Dongfang was stunned for a moment before he remembered that there was such a thing!
