Abstract

Strength is the primary and important physical quality of sprinters, and sprinters’ strength training is also one of most important elements of sprint training. Because of the achievements and experience that achieved for a long time in China, innovation and development in strength training is overlooked, especially strength training’s specialization. Due to the insufficient knowledge of macro training ideas and specific training methods of strength quality, the developing of sprints in China has been greatly influenced, which was validated by the facts in three Olympic games from 2008 to 2016. From 2008 to 2016, most Chinese male and female sprinters can’t even meet the Olympic games registration standard, especially female sprinters, so basically they had no chance to participate in 100 to 400 meters, and 100 meter hurdles games, while the condition is little improved when in 2016 Olympic Games a Chinese male sprinter got the fifth place in 100 meter game. Using the methods of literature consultation, expert interview, case study and logical analysis, the paper analyzes three basic theories and nine rules that should be obeyed in sprint strength training, points out the three problems existing in the current sprint strength training, and further puts forward three countermeasures of sprint strength training, which would have certain reference significance and enlightenment for Chinese sprinters’ preparation for 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
