Chapter 107 Swimming Pool

"Li Tian, ​​you should be fine if you complete such training volume within two hours!" Coach Karon asked Li Tian, ​​who was about to walk towards the training equipment with a smile.

"No problem!" Li Tian replied with great certainty. Although the training intensity proposed by Coach Karon is not very large, and it is nearly one-third lower than his usual training intensity, the required completion time is also one-third shorter than his usual time. It can be said that in terms of unit strength, his training volume has not only not decreased at all, but will increase, so he has to work hard. Moreover, the traditional strength training that the coach just told Kederman and others is just the warm-up stage of today's training, which made Li Tian realize that there will be more difficult training events waiting for him, so after the current training begins, he must try not to waste a little physical fitness as much as possible.

"Let's start!" Coach Karon pressed the stopwatch in his hand while speaking.

Barbell squats, barbell presses, etc., seemingly simple but ordinary strength exercises, whether in the 1940s and 1950s, or in the highly developed sports training technology level, they are essential training items on the training ground, because they can directly exercise the major muscle groups of the human body, and have obvious effects on players' overall improvement of muscle strength in the main parts of the body in the early stage. It is also the main training method that most sports players in China have been using. In this regard, Li Tian is no exception. In China, due to the relatively simple equipment, this simple and effective method has become the only choice. Therefore, after forming a fixed training mode, even if you go to Germany, you have a large number of other high-tech auxiliary equipment in this gymnasium, and Li Tian also uses them less and still sticks to the traditional strength training mode most of the time.

However, in modern times, the shortcomings of this traditional strength training method have become increasingly apparent. Because its singleness in training can only effectively exercise some major muscle groups in the player's body. For example, the inner thigh muscle groups, hip muscle groups, ankle and sole muscles, etc., the muscle parts of the usually difficult to exercise are not effective. However, through the research on new technologies in various events in recent years, these muscle groups that are not easy to exercise have become one of the most critical factors for improving the player's level. Take the sprint event as an example.

The inner thigh muscles control the frequency and amplitude of the thigh swing when running, which determines the size of the stride; the muscle expansion and contraction of the hip joint are the determinants of the players' stride frequency; and the strength of the ankle and sole muscles directly determine the player's pace starting ability and grip. Therefore, changing the traditional single strength training model has become an important issue for countries to improve the level of competitive sports events, and has achieved many results. In this regard, China is far behind some sports powers, and is even blank in some events.

After Li Tian came to Germany, he also had a very clear understanding of this situation, but his current experience and ability were not enough to design a complete and effective strength training plan by himself. Therefore, he attached great importance to the training guidance given to him by coach Caron this time, hoping to master an advanced strength training model well.

The "four-player group" in strength training could not help Li Tian, ​​so they all went to do their own training. In the past two days, in order to assist Li Tian, ​​they completely stopped their training progress. It can be said that there are not many professional players who can do this for their friends. Coach Hart also appreciates the friendship between them, so they will give some small suggestions from time to time during their training, which will benefit the four of them a lot. However, Coach Karon followed Li Tian closely and kept a step away, focusing on every detail of Li Tian's practice, and holding the stopwatch in his hand. Whenever Li Tian completed a set of exercises, he would accurately record the completion time and mark the various messages he observed on the record book.

After nearly an hour of training, Li Tian finally felt something was wrong. Although the amount of exercise was basically the same as usual, Coach Karon reduced the weight load on the equipment and increased the number of times Li Tian repeated in each set of exercises, which means that the time for completing each set of exercises would be lengthened, which forced Li Tian to speed up his previous rhythm and correspondingly reduce the rest adjustment time between each set of exercises. The result is that the physical energy consumed during the training was greatly exceeded his previous estimate. Moreover, due to the reduction of rest time, the muscles were in a tense state for a longer period of time, which would increase the lactic acid in the body faster, thereby accelerating muscle fatigue. After muscle fatigue, the frequency of movements will decrease, and such a vicious cycle will continue.

Seeing that Li Tian had become aware of his arrangements, but silently gritted his teeth and persevered, Coach Karon showed a happy expression on his face. He hadn't met such a stubborn young man for many years. "Forrest Gump" back then was young and stubborn like Li Tian. However, after receiving his own training, he completely surrendered to his subordinates for less than a week and cried to him a lot for training. The nickname of "Silver Demon" was also called out by "Forrest Gump" at that time. So far, no athlete can hold on for a week under his training. Now he can't wait to see Li Tian crying to him as soon as possible. This is the greatest pleasure he has been in coaching for thirty years.

"It seems that I have to sacrifice myself today, I must not be embarrassed!" Looking at Coach Karon's "hazard" smile, Li Tian clenched his fists and made up his mind.

"It's half over, and it seems that you still have to speed up the pace! I don't want to wait two hours to continue delaying the time. The time scheduled for training today is very compact." Coach Karon's words made Li Tian speed up the frequency of movements a little more.

"OK! Not bad, you can complete the training task five minutes in advance. It's not easy! But don't be happy too early, the real training has not started yet. Now you have twenty minutes to rest and pack your own things quickly. We will immediately transfer to the next training ground. I think you will not have the chance to come back here to get things after the training there." Coach Karon knew that Li Tian's physical fitness was very good, so he was not surprised that he could complete the training task required in the first stage on time, and said with a smile on his face.

"Ah, I have to move to other training grounds! Why? The training environment and training equipment here are excellent in the academy!" You should know that this indoor gym can even be regarded as one of the excellent track and field training grounds in Germany. It is winter, and there is ice and snow outside. Li Tian couldn't think of any other venue in the academy for training, so he asked in confusion.

"You don't need to know why. I naturally have my reasons. You just do whatever I say. Then you will understand everything. Instead of talking to me here, it's better to hurry up and have a good rest. Or the exercises just now have no impact on your physical fitness and you don't need to rest? Then we can set off immediately, but if you can't meet my requirements, I won't stop in the next training." Although I really want to know what kind of hindrance Coach Karon is selling, since he refuses to say it, and Li Tian, ​​who has always been following the coach's request during training, didn't ask any more questions. Now he really needs to relax and rest. The exercises just now have consumed most of his physical fitness.

Back at the work and rest area, Li Tian spread his coat on the ground and lay down quietly. In order to cope with the more difficult training later, Li Tian had to use his magic weapon for physical recovery - the "Quick Sleep Rest Method" to try to restore more physical strength. In the relatively quiet gymnasium, Li Tian easily eliminated external interference. After only five minutes, Li Tian had already entered a sleep state.

"Hey! Hart, look!" Coach Karon, who returned to the rest area with Hart, thought he was just resting when he saw Li Tian lying on the ground at first, but a few minutes later, a slight snoring sound came from Li Tian's body.

"Hey! I'm really asleep. I didn't expect that he had mastered this advanced skill of physical recovery. This is not something that ordinary people can master. This kid really brought us a lot of surprises!" Coach Hart whispered to Li Tian, ​​and quickly confirmed that Li Tian was indeed in sleep, and couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"Yes, he is indeed better than I thought. In this way, the physical energy he had just consumed can immediately recover to more than half. It's a great little guy. But... hehe, it's not that easy to pass my full training!" Coach Karon kept stroking his short beard and smiled proudly.

"Old guy, you have to stop at your disposal! If he is tortured by you like a disabled person, how can he participate in my training class tomorrow?" Seeing his companion's proud look, Coach Hart also reminded him with some concern.

"Don't worry, all kinds of data on his body are in my mind, I will be able to be sensible. However, this little guy's physique is simply comparable to the monster Shrek, and his recovery ability is stronger than that of cockroaches. The rest time of one night is enough for him to recover as before, and it will not delay your training."

"That's good!" After receiving Coach Caron's guarantee, Coach Hart felt relieved.

"Li Tian, ​​get up! The rest time is over, we are going to set off right away." Twenty minutes later, Coach Karon woke up Li Tian on time.

Li Tian, ​​who woke up from sleep, recovered significantly. After moving his body a little, he put on his coat and trousers, carried his shoulder bag, and followed Coach Karon out of the gymnasium.

"Get on the bus! The next training location is still a little far from here." The parking floor outside the gymnasium was parked with the car temporarily provided to coach Caron for. At the coach's instructions, Li Tian took a seat in. The car did not drive out of the campus, but after almost crossing most of the campus, it parked in front of another large indoor gymnasium in the college.

"Ah! Isn't this a swimming pool?" Although Li Tian had never entered the swimming pool, he still knew about the swimming pool, one of the most important landmark buildings of the academy.

"Yes, our destination is here, you will be doing the second stage of strength training here today."

"Here?" Li Tian really couldn't figure out what other similarities are there in the two sports, track and field and swimming, except for everyone having the same track.

"Coach, are you planning to let me do swimming training here?" Li Tian began to feel a little confused, which greatly broke his long-term training common sense.

"Don't ask so much. I'll give you some advice on what you should do. Come in quickly! Our time is very tight!" Coach Karon closed the car door and pushed Li Tiandao with a dazed expression.

If you want to ask the students of Cologne Sports University who are the most famous stars in the academy, then you will most likely get the same answer - Li Tian. Since he took the throne of the top star of the academy after the competition, Li Tian is no longer the oriental boy who was unknown and no one knew him when he walked there. His image frequently appeared in newspapers and magazines of major German media, almost everyone in the academy knew him. Secondly, there are only a handful of Asian students in the academy, and the students easily recognized him, so when he appeared at the gate of the swimming pool, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Look, isn't that person Li Tian from the track and field team?" As soon as Li Tian got out of the car, someone immediately noticed him.

"Where?...Huh! It's really him. Don't he have to train in the track and field hall? How come he will have time to come to our swimming pool now?"

...

"Wow! So stylish. This is the first time I have seen him! He won't want to join our swimming club, it would be great if that would be the case. I will see him every day in the future." A ecstatic girl stared at Li Tian, ​​who was getting closer and closer with her eyes.

"Don't daydream there. Li Tian is known as the star of the track and field industry. In order to concentrate on track and field training, he even refused the invitation from the Bundesliga Bayern Munich Club. How could he join the swimming club in our academy?" At this time, a boy standing next to her woke the girl from her daydream without hesitation, and then looked at Li Tian who was walking towards him with jealous look on his face.
