The discriminant analysis provided information about the impact of four orthogonal variants of strength loads on the formation of the cumulative training effect of strength exercises of three, six, nine, and twelve classes in 8-year-old boys. The study examined the impact of four variants of strength load on the formation of the cumulative training effect of three, six, nine, and twelve classes in 8-year-old boys. The study materials were processed by the IBM SPSS 22 statistical analysis program. The experiment was conducted using a 22 factorial design. The study participants were 48 boys aged 8. The purpose of the study was to determine the peculiarities of using pattern recognition method in the management of the cumulative effect of strength loads in 8-year-old boys. In addition, sprint coaches can use the data presented to expand their current exercise repertoire and resistance training practices.īackground and Study Aim. This research can be used to develop educational resources for sprint coaches who wish to use resistance training with their athletes. Coaches prioritized exercises that specifically developed strength, power, and reactive strength for their sprint athletes. Coaches selected exercises for a variety of reasons however, the 3 most prominent reasons were: (a) performance adaptations (b) practicality and (c) the targeting of muscles/muscle groups. Coaches prescribed a wide variety of traditional, ballistic, and plyometric exercises, with the hurdle jump found to be the most widely prescribed exercise (93% of coaches surveyed).

The results showed that coaches prescribe resistance training to their sprint athletes to develop strength and power, which they believe will transfer to sprint performance. Coaches completed an online questionnaire consisting of 5 sections: (a) informed consent, (b) coach background information, (c) coach education and qualifications, (d) coaches' views on resistance training, and (e) exercise selection and preference.

Forty-one of 73 (56%) sprint coaches with mean ± SD coaching experience of 8.4 ± 6.4 years were included in this study. This study investigated why sprint coaches prescribe resistance training to their athletes, what exercises they select, and what factors are involved with their selection. This study describes the results of a survey of resistance training practices of sprint coaches.
