- - start protocol.
Instructions
Step 1
Set a date for the relay. Athletes and coaches should always know in advance when to prepare. Do some sprint workouts. If this is a relay race of 4x100 m, then give the task to your wards to run 10-15 segments of 100 m every 100 m by jogging. If it is difficult, then - after 200 m. During this time, breathing should be restored and muscles should be activated for work. If the task is to run 4x400 m, then the segments should be 400 m each - at least 10 accelerations.
Step 2
Do some pre-competition runs. The next stage of preparation for the relay should be the training of the transfer of the stick, which is no less important than the cross or speed training. The victory or defeat of the team will depend on this, because if someone drops a stick along the distance, the team will be removed from the competition. So, teach the transmitting wand to hold it firmly in the right hand, and the receiver to put his hand back and take it. It is also important to train the sense of distance: the athlete in front should start accelerating before the transfer, and the second should run a little forward.
Step 3
Make sure each athlete is warm up and ready to compete. Already on the eve of the competition, make sure that the relay participants run a small cross-country race across the stadium (no more than 2-3 km). Then - a few warm-up and running exercises and worked with the transfer of the stick, as indicated in the previous step. Now they have no margin for error. Substitute a roster if someone is not good at passing or receiving the baton. Everyone should be on full alert.
Step 4
Place each athlete on their predetermined cutoff stage. Start the race. Make sure that the baton is passed inside the designated “corridor”. Typically, this is 5-10 meters between the transmitting and receiving athlete. Summarize the results of the relay. Award winners and awardees.
