To improve the sporting performance of a 100 meter sprinter and a touch football player, athletes must train in specific ways. There are some similarities and some differences between the types of training and training methods that every athlete must take part in to improve their performance. Both athletes require strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic training to improve their performance, although the method and amount of these types of training must vary depending on the demands of sprinting or touch football. Although the 100-meter sprint and the touch kick are two very different activities, some of the types of training needed to improve athletes' performance are similar. These types of training are strength training and flexibility training. Strength training is important for improving the performance of both 100 meter sprinters and touch football players. It is essential for; reduce the risk of injury, develop muscular endurance, and increase the amount of force an individual's muscles can exert. For example, in both the 100 meter sprint and touch football, isometric strength training is used to develop strength in a series of movements. This isometric training can work, for example, to increase the power of an athlete's stride, which would increase the amount of force the athlete can exert on the ground. Newton's third law implies that the more force an athlete exerts on the ground, the farther and faster he or she will be pushed forward. The extra speed generated by this movement is essential in both 100 meter sprints and touch football. The improved muscular endurance as a result of this strength training allows the athlete to train a...... middle of paper energy system, but also to improve the required skills and specific needs of touch football .To improve The performance of a touch footballer and 100 meter sprinter athletes must have a solid training program. Both athletes' training programs must include all four types of training; strength, flexibility, aerobic and anaerobic. To improve the performance of a touch football player and a 100 meter sprinter, the strength and flexibility training for both of these athletes should be very similar, while the aerobic and anaerobic training of each must be specific to the energy systems required throughout the entire journey. any sport/activity. Each athlete's aerobic and anaerobic training must also be specific to touch football or sprinting in order to develop specific skills and demands required during each activity.
