Chapter 9
At the sound of the starting gun, eight students on the same starting line responded at the same time.
Beside the track, the sprint coaches who were observing stopped chatting and turned to look seriously at the eight students who were taking the test on the track.
In fact, for these coaches who are used to watching high-level domestic competitions, competitions like those of summer camp students are hard to watch.
Take running for example. Students generally have not received special training for starting reaction. When they hear the gun gun and start running, they are not only easily distracted but also fail to react in time, which is commonly known as the body cannot keep up with the brain.
This situation occasionally occurs even among active athletes, not to mention ordinary students who have never received relevant training.
According to the excellence standards of professional athletes, the reaction to the gun starting at the start must be within 0.15 seconds to be considered qualified. However, these students who have not received any training in the reaction to the gun usually get 0.3 seconds, and if some of them are distracted, it may be even longer.
Secondly, the students present were not familiar with the use of the starting blocks and their preparatory movements were not in place. Most of them did not achieve the explosive preparation effect of the forward-rushing starting posture when they started. What's worse, some students who were not used to it could not figure out which leg they should use to push forward when they started.
All of the above are just some of the problems that these students may encounter at the starting stage.
Not to mention the hip thrusting movement when running, the center of gravity of the body when running, the arm swinging posture when running, etc. In short, from the perspective of these coaches, these students' performances are full of flaws.
Of course, if that were the case, it would be meaningless for coaches to look at the tests of summer camp students.
In fact, this is certainly not the case.
For these unpolished students, the coaches certainly do not look at the skills that only mature athletes need to consider, but more at the natural talents of these students in terms of speed, strength, body flexibility and physical appearance.
These coaches had originally intended to ignore the students' technical performances and simply look at their talents, but as soon as the test began, something unexpected seemed to happen.
The moment the starting gun sounded, Su Yu, with his hands on the ground and his eyes focused on the track in front of him, quickly pedaled to start. His preparatory posture was more standard compared with the test runners in the same group. When the starting gun sounded, his body already had a natural impulse to move forward.
Although it is obvious that Su Yu does not have strong explosive power and strength, his focused and sharp reaction to the gun and smooth starting movements at the starting stage are enough to give him a certain advantage at the starting stage.
"Hey, look, this Su Yu's reaction to running is pretty fast?"
A coach nodded, but still wasn't optimistic about Su Yu: "His explosive power and strength are too weak."
The previous jokes are jokes, and the coaches have their own judgment after all.
At the start, Su Yu had an advantage of about 0.5 seconds over his peers due to his excellent starting reaction and starting movements. This advantage gave him a lead of about 4 meters over his peers, but this lead did not last long. His explosive power and strength were still too weak. Facing other students who had incomplete skills but excellent physical talents, these students were able to quickly make up for the distance lost in the starting reaction stage and the first three steps by relying on the power of their physical talents.
…
Huh?
etc?
What about getting it back as promised?
Perhaps it was because the students in the same group as Su Yu had average talent levels. Although they tried hard to catch up after realizing they were falling behind, no student caught up with Su Yu during the starting and accelerating stages? !
In other words, some students had already approached Su Yu after accelerating, but Su Yu managed to maintain his advantage despite his obviously weak explosive power and strength? !
"This elastic force... Is this the feedback of the elastic force?"
Some coaches reacted and marveled at Su Yu's performance.
"And the movement and posture while running are maintained very well!"
It is obvious that Su Yu's entire running posture is the closest to the standard among all the students. Whether it is the active hip thrust or the alternating downward pressure of his legs and the placement of his body's center of gravity, and even his arm swinging movements, all help him to achieve better speed performance with the least effort and physical energy consumption during the overall running process.
It was not until the halfway point of the test that the coaches watching on the track were surprised to find that Su Yu was not only able to perform relatively standard technical movements, but he also seemed to be instinctively utilizing the ground elasticity of the runway?
On the track, Su Yu, who was undergoing the test, had no idea that the coaches around him were observing his performance. From the moment his feet stepped on the starting pedals, his attention was entirely focused on the track in front of him.
As he focused his attention on the track, Pei Dingshan, who was also standing beside the track observing, nodded slightly.
On the other side, Zhou Yuang also noticed Su Yu's focused performance, and his eyes lit up slightly. After seeing Su Yu's series of starting movements, Zhou Yuang patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder hard.
"What do you think, Yuanzi! I told you that our little ancestor is very talented!"
There was excitement in Zhou Yuang's voice.
Jiang Yuan ignored Zhou Yuan's words. He was also concentrating on observing Su Yu on the track. Seeing Su Yu, who was a little green but focused and devoted in the test, he really had the thought in his mind that "Xiao Yu seems to be really suitable for this track".
When the starting gun sounded, all the noise around Su Yu disappeared. His mind was highly focused. He was clearly aware of his weaknesses in physical fitness, strength, explosive power, etc., but as the coach and Zhou Yuang on the scene observed, he relied on the skills he had gradually become familiar with in the past two days and did his best to utilize the strength he could.
His left leg exerted all its strength at the moment of pushing off the start, and the forward momentum brought by the forward shift of the center of gravity during the start preparation helped him to get off to a better start. While other students were not yet used to starting from the starting blocks, he had already fluently burst forward for three consecutive steps at the start and quickly connected with standing up and accelerating.
He tried his best to control every step forward.
In his mind, he still remembered the simple points that Pei Dingshan had mentioned during the two days of training - push your hips, press your feet down, feel the elastic force of the ground, and then use it.
——If your strength is not enough to push you forward, let the elastic force of the ground help you move forward better.
Plop, plop.
It is the sound of the heart beating after a rapid burst of strength and rapid consumption of physical energy.
During this short period of more than ten seconds, Su Yu clenched his teeth. He could no longer hear any other sounds in his ears except the intense beating of his heart in his chest and the sound of every step he took on the ground.
He could vaguely sense that someone seemed to be approaching him from behind, but all he could do was to keep moving forward, relying on the feedback from the ground, the residual momentum brought by the explosion in the past, and the forward kinetic energy brought by every stubborn arm swing.
In just a few seconds, this unprecedented explosive running has put a huge burden on Su Yu's body. With every step Su Yu took, he felt that his body was gradually slipping away from his control.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The rapid loss of physical strength made Su Yu's running more and more difficult with each subsequent step, but no matter how his body was screaming, he firmly maintained the movement posture he could maintain, and then moved forward more firmly.
The coaches on the track originally thought that Su Yu might only be able to barely distance himself from the other students by relying on his reaction to the starting gun and his performance in the first three steps of the start. When the acceleration run ended and the midway run began, he would gradually fall behind. However, they did not expect that after half of the test, the students who had been approaching Su Yu were gradually left behind by Su Yu again.
"This ability to run midway..."
“Very stable?!”
"This kid is very resilient!"
Until the final sprint stage, Su Yu had no thought of giving up because of physical fatigue.
Even though his body was extremely tired during the final sprint, he still gritted his teeth, leaned forward, increased his arm swing, and crossed the finish line of this test in the best sprinting posture possible.
"The winner of this group test is Su Yu from No. 12 Middle School."
"Final result: 14.32 seconds (wind speed -0.02m/s)."
The moment Su Yu crossed the finish line, the summer camp participants who were waiting for the test nearby exclaimed first.
"Fuck, why is it him!"
Amid the exclamations of the waiting students, some students who were not paying attention to this group of sprint tests also turned around curiously and asked what happened.
"What's going on? Who won? Why is there such a big commotion?"
"Su Yu! That Su Yu!"
"Fuck? Su Yu?"
"Is it the weak Su Yu? No way, what level are the people in this group tested? They can't even outrun Su Yu?"
When the results of the second and third place students behind Su Yu came out, the students present were stunned.
"The second place was 14.47 seconds, and the third place was 14.59 seconds. Damn, these results are not bad, right?"
Although the 100-meter sprint results that are familiar to the public are all in the single digits, most of them are just over 10 seconds, but that is for the adult group and for higher-level professional athletes. In fact, a men's result of 12.64 seconds is enough to meet the standards of national third- and fourth-level athletes.
Judging from the overall physical test standards in junior high school, 13.5 seconds is an excellent level, and 16 seconds is a passing level.
The students in the same group as Su Yu generally achieved results within 15 seconds, which is a good level in junior high school. In addition, these students were not used to starting from the starting blocks and starting with the gun. If we combine these situations with the final results, these students are actually not bad.
In the end, they all lost to Su Yu? !
The one who is generally recognized as a weakling who came to the summer camp to slack off?
"No way... I remember someone reported Su Yu's results before. Wasn't his best 100-meter time over 17 seconds? Fuck, so he came to the summer camp for two days and his results jumped by 3 seconds?!"
The author has something to say:
Summer camp participants: Confusedjpg, is this summer camp so effective?
