"There's only a week out of the whole year when there's no workout, and when I'm not competing I'll be running and lifting." But in the history of high jump training, Amy admits that such discipline and dedication was considered the exception rather than the rule.<br>"In the past there was more of a laissez-faire attitude toward high jump training, and a lot of the jumping workout would be occupied by sunbathing on the high jump pit," says Amy. She recalls one story of two German high jumpers who entered a competition in the 70s. When they found out that the meet was going to take several hours, they left the meet and went down to a local coffee shop and had a few cigarettes and several leisurely cups of coffee. Says Amy, "When they came back to the meet they found that they had misjudged the time and there was nly one jumper left before them, so they had to warm up in a hurry. They ended up jumping pretty well because they were great natural talents, but these were athletes who really didn't take care of their bodies, and you wonder what they could have done if they had taken better care of themselves."<br>A major portion of Amy's taining is the Olympic lifts, but she also performs several auxiliary lifts for the lower back, abs and the upper body. "It's important to keep the upper body strong for coordination," says Amy. "At the takeoff you really have to move the upper body--you can't just be a limp noodle." She also sas it's important for jumpers to perform specialized exercises for their ankles. "You get a lot of power from your feet, and if your ankles are hurting you're going to suffer. I do all kinds of ankle strengthening, such as picking up sand and running on the toes to strengthen the arches, surgical tubing exercises, and rocker boards--I work on my ankles a lot."<br>For younger jumpers, Amy believes in the importance of being exposed to a variety of sports. "You learn a lovailable to most of these athletes, the basic BFS sysem s perfect. However, athletes who have extra time or who are at especially high levels of ability may be ready for more sport-specific power movements using medicine balls.<br>For example, a volleyballpayer will want to achieve maximal jumping ability. If the player does a serie of squats using a barbell, the weight slows down, achieving zero velocity at the end of the movement. This is necessary for safety purposes. But in jumping, there is an increase in velocity, with peak forces occurring near the end of the movement. This difference in veloity curves may not mean much to a 12-flat sprinter trying to lower their time to 11.9, but such training details mean a lot to a 10.4 sprinter trying to lower their time to 10.39. <br><br>Testing<br><br>In addition to their use in developing poer, medicine balls are a great tool to determin if an athlete needs to concentrate more on increasing strength or power. A great test, and one that is used extensively in Europe, is to have an athlete throw various weights of medicine balls overhead and backwards for distance. If there is a big difference in the measurements, this indicates the athlete has excellent lower-body power and should concentrate more on BFS strength exercises such as the squat and bench press. If there is little difference in the measurements, the athlete needs more power and should concentrate on power cleans and medicine %HQ#;Ơ660}yտHVQin%|/(9~-|#ZålPFz~T'lo].O3aM3>npi~"piɇJ뚥֖h=~bQ+*^Byl.F-J ٌt#F>zM ķ1?
