CHAPTER XIII: Olympic A standard
By breaking the national redord Zhang Guang got a week vacation to go home with his parents, after a brief gathering he return to athletics team for a new training.
Zhang Guang on track with his feet in the starting blocks.
Chen lao up the gun and shouted “prepared ………………..”
gunfire sounded, Zhang Guang immediately release all its strength and after a few steps stopped.
This was the Start practice of Zhang Guang.
Lao Chen frowned, mumbling, said: “I feel that you start is very fast, rest for 5 minutes, let’s try again”
Zhang Guang nodded, but in his heart secretly laughed, his new Skill: “Rapid Response” helps improve response time in the beginning, and now his reaction time is between 0.15 and 0.17s, and is similar to other professional athletes.
“Rapid response” not only improves the starting reaction time, other motor responses became faster.
A whole morning, 10 consecutive start times, Lao Chen said: I feel that the starting reaction time of Guang Zhang not lost compared to other professional athletes, this performance looks like a completely different person.
“How he will rest at home for a week and your reaction time gets faster” Lao Chen scratched his head and said go get the equipment to measure time,
The device for measuring time of the players in international compet.i.tions is very complex, the start time of the start pistol are connected to a sensor, while the starting blocks also have a sensor that determines the time from when the gunfire Sounded and the feet are off the starting blocks, used to determine whether athletes have a false start, but eventually the sensor is used to calculate the athlete`s finish time, according to the international standard, this equipment requires have an accuracy of one thousandth of a second, considered a precision instrument, so the price is not low, the provincial team only has a set of these instruments.
The technical staff spend an hour to ask the equipment, followed by Zhang Guang in the starting blocks and Lao Chen sitting next screen viewing data
the starting shot rang, Zhang Guang started fast, and the electronic screen immediately showed the reaction time of Zhang Guang.
Lao Chen opened his eyes watching the screen, time that showed him feel surprised and hard to believe.
“0159 seconds”
even world cla.s.s skills, a reaction time of 0.159 s or less is considered a qualifying time.
“This instrument is not right” Lao Chen asked to the technical staff,
The staff immediately responded: “Lao Chen can ensure tight that the equipment is well we take care of every day, there is certainly not a problem”
Lao Chen turned and said: Guang Zjang you left before the shot rang?
Guang Zhang shook his head.
“No, how can that be faster, it’s only been a week.” “Rests for 10 min, let’s try it again, this time personally giving the order”
………..
Lao Chen will give the order to observe Zhang Guang and determine whether he is starting before shooting.
the beginning of the Sprinters is critical, the normal start listening to them the gun and runs, but also may have gotten used to the pace of the examiner to exit before listening to the gun, if this method of beginning is successful could ensure 0.02s .
Some professional athletes use this method to beat them better players or players at the same level, this method is simply a bet.
as a coach is not allowed to encourage new athletes to use this method, they need more new players is to train its foundation by a good workout to improve their level, so I do not want to Zhang Guang are using this method.
“Steady, Ready …….”
Lao Chen raised the gun, but still not giving the order, he is deliberately disrupting the rhythm, if Zhang Guang using this method I’ll know by sensors in the starting blocks.
Guang Zhang did not move, but was hoping that Lao Chen gave the order.
“Bang”
the gun sounded, Zhang Guang began to move quickly.
