"Kick out with your right foot and do it again!"
"Okay, let's rest for thirty seconds before doing the next set!"
it is finally over! Li Yuang let go of the traction belt and lay directly on the floor, breathing heavily.
I didn’t expect Coach Wang Meng to be so strict! This is challenging the limit!
The other two groups of players who had stopped to rest and were about to replace their players couldn't help but murmur in their hearts when they looked at Li Yuang who was still persisting.
They have all had similar experiences. When they perform an action to the limit, their whole body will tremble uncontrollably, all the pores on their face will open, and sweat will continue to seep out. It is no longer possible to distinguish whether it is sweat or tears. .
Since other athletes alternate between teams of two, Li Yuang is the only one who needs to train in this group, so Li Yuang has twice as much training as others in this event.
Wang Meng's arrangement was not random. She knew that Li Yuang's lactic acid threshold was much higher than that of ordinary athletes. Heavy training won't have much of an impact on him.
Ever since Wang Meng watched the national team's training plan, she has always felt that the current training volume is far from reaching Li Yuang's upper limit and cannot fully tap his potential.
The Chinese men's short track speed skating team has not had a newcomer emerge for a long time. She must tap Li Yuang's potential this morning to ensure victory in the BJ Winter Olympics!
When people exercise, the contraction and stretching of muscles consume energy and produce lactic acid.
When exercise intensity is low, the body can break down lactic acid. When the intensity of exercise increases, the production of lactic acid will increase significantly. At this time, the lactic acid that has not been broken down will accumulate in the muscles and blood. The lactate value between these two is called the lactate threshold.
When exercise intensity continues to be above the lactate threshold, blood lactate values will continue to rise. Lactic acid is a product of the anaerobic oxidation of sugar. During this process, the hydrogen ion concentration will also increase. When the concentration of hydrogen ions increases significantly, it will cause the pH value of cells to drop, and begin to interfere with the metabolism of cellular enzymes to a certain extent, eventually causing fatigue and even injury.
Simply put, the higher the lactic acid threshold, the stronger the fatigue resistance and the more able to tolerate higher-intensity training.
So Li Yuang started practicing short-track speed skating. His training volume and intensity were much higher than those of his peers, and he also sweated more than his peers!
This is why he has always been able to take on cross-age challenges since he was a child and quickly kept up with their training volume.
This is also the reason why Li Yuang slipped from the second national team to the first national team in only two years. If you only look at the time, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, but Li Yuang was only 15 years old when he trained with the first team! It is enough to show that his lactic acid threshold is much higher than that of his peers!
Having said that, a high lactic acid threshold is also a physical talent! Regardless of the size of the selection in China, those who can be selected by the national team are already outstanding in talent!
Of course, this is not the case in a so-called professional league. Not only must you have talent, you must also have money. That is no longer a sport that middle-income families can afford.
…
"Okay, that's it for today's training." Head coach Li Yan announced the end of training.
Li Yuang, who was called to the sidelines by Wang Meng, looked at the balloon in his hand with a question mark on his face.
"Happy birthday, Li Yuang! This is a gift for you."
"Auntie, I know it's not easy to be single... Um, no, I mean Sister Me is pretty good..."
"I'm going to die! Li Yuang, wait until I put on my skates, I won't spare you!"
Finally, after Li Yuang was punished and he promised to never make such a joke again, Wang Meng let him go.
"Auntie, you don't have to give me a gift... but what's the big deal if you give me balloons? If someone else blows out candles on their birthday, should I blow up the balloons? Or should I blow up a pack?"
"You brat, this pack of balloons is for your training."
"You're a bit weird. Before the Winter Olympics, I studied your competition and I can clearly feel that your physical strength is not very good, and you don't have an advantage in middle and long distance competitions. But judging from your performance in the relay competition at the Winter Olympics, your physical strength Sufficient for medium to long distance races.”
My aunt's observation is really keen! Is it the same with or without a system? Speaking of which, my aunt really cares about me. She was studying my competition before the Winter Olympics. etc! Research before the Winter Olympics?
"Auntie, did you decide to trick me before the Winter Olympics?"
"What do you mean by cheating you? I'm doing this for your own good. Before the Winter Olympics, the leader asked me to serve as a technical director and asked me to think about it. The leader mentioned this matter again two days ago and insisted on letting me be your exclusive coach. There is no way , I just agreed! If it weren’t for the leader’s request, do you think I would take care of you?”
The fact is that considering the importance of the BJ Winter Olympics, Wang Huizhong, director of the Winter Sports Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, invited Wang Meng to serve as the technical director of the national team before Pingchang. At the same time, Wang Meng is invited to lead the team to the 29th Universiade Winter Games next year. Of course, there is also a task, which requires the short track speed skating team to win at least one gold medal.
Wang Meng was a little hesitant at first. After watching Li Yuang's relay competition, she came up with the idea of training Li Yuang personally before agreeing.
Wang Meng knew that she couldn't say this to Li Yuang. If he really said it, this kid's tail would be raised to the sky.
"It stands to reason that you should not have such a problem if you have such a good sense of ice. I have studied your previous game videos in the past few days, and I found that your breathing rhythm is not good, which leads to inefficient use of physical strength and affects your skating speed in the middle and late stages. . There is also a problem with the distribution of physical strength."
"Breathing rhythm?"
Breathing is a very natural thing, so natural that it is easy for people to ignore it. Li Yuang never thought that breathing rhythm would affect him.
"Yes, blowing up balloons is mainly to train you to breathe during the competition! But you should not pay too much attention to this ventilation during the game, it should be done naturally."
"Breathing will greatly affect the state of the game. If the abdomen is relaxed during the game, the speed will easily slow down; if the abdomen is tightened, the speed and the feeling of the game will be maintained."
"From today on, except for training, competition, eating and sleeping, I will blow up balloons at all times!"
Li Yuang knew how to adjust his breathing rhythm by blowing up balloons.
The Chinese 100-meter flying star Su Bingtian, whom he has always followed, was photographed jogging and blowing up balloons when he was adjusting to the venue for an indoor competition.
Su Bingtian was adjusting his breathing rhythm in this way. At that time, he only admired Su Bingtian's courage and determination. After all, blowing up a balloon in front of the world's media was not something ordinary people could do.
Li Yuang never thought that one day he would be like this. After all, he was still blowing up balloons at the age of 16. It was a bit shameful to be photographed...
The training of the national team is usually from 6:30 to 7:30 in the morning, from 9:00 to 12:00 in the morning, and from 2:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. There will be no training after 5 p.m., but the ice coffin will close at 8:30 p.m. for ice pouring. In the evening, athletes can choose to practice freely or go to the physical therapy room for physical therapy.
Li Yuang was gliding slowly on the ice rink with a balloon in his mouth. He is used to continuing to practice after a day's training. At this time, his body was quite tired, so he tried his best to make every movement in place.
Li Yuang followed what his aunt just said, pushing on the ice with his left foot and inhaling. Push on the ice with your right foot and exhale.
"Balloons? What a way to coax children." Liu Long said in a strange tone from the side.
"Liu Long, say it again!"
"Did I say something wrong? Give him a balloon for his birthday? Isn't this coaxing a child?"
"Liu Long, it was the coaching staff's decision to play extra games back then, and it was also the coaching staff's decision to select the first team..."
"That's enough! I had the highest points in the trials that year! I obviously won! Why should I have to play in the extra round? If you hadn't teamed up with Li Wenwu, I would have been left behind!" Liu Long said viciously.
"You can ask the coaching staff about the extra games. Li Wenwu and I have not joined forces. It is just tactics. If you are really capable, how come you were only selected this year? It is still temporary!"
Li Yuang has never understood why Liu Long hates him when the playoffs and candidates are clearly decided by the coaching staff?
When Liu Long heard this, he exploded and rushed towards Li Yuang with a fist.
If he was unwilling to accept the selection in 2016, then the two selections in 2017 will be his eternal pain.
After he failed in the 2016 trials, the coaching staff only told him that it was a comprehensive consideration and did not explain anything else.
He hated the unfairness of the coaching staff and believed that Li Yuang only got into the first team because of Wang Meng's relationship. If not, why extra games? However, he did not dare to question the coaching staff.
He wants to skate! I want to join a team! I want to step onto the international stage!
He didn't dare to offend the coaching staff, so he could only train hard. He wanted to use his undisputed strength to get a spot in the first team in the next selection!
He put aside his unwillingness and started practicing harder from scratch. He didn't compete with anyone, only with himself! Strength training is about intensity, ice training is about attitude, and land training is about intensity.
If you feel unwell, bear with it! Muscle soreness, bear with it!
Nothing and no one can stop me from training! I want to train! I want to be stronger! I want to join a team!
In the second half of 2016, his performance improved by leaps and bounds, and with that came more and more visits to the physical therapy room! The body is getting tired!
Physical fatigue is irreversible. When turning a corner, Liu Long slipped and fell...the muscle in his right leg was torn...
Injury caused him to miss the first selection in 2017. During the second selection, he was not selected again before he could return to his full strength...
He knew that the injury was not Li Yuang's fault. It was because he had trained too hard and didn't pay attention when his body started to warn him!
But he just wasn't willing to give in. The injury almost wasted a year of his time, and he wasn't willing to give in!
In countless sleepless nights, he asked himself countless times, if it was me who was selected in 2016, wouldn't I be hurt?
In his dream, he saw him training with Wu Dajing and Han Tianyu in the first team countless times!
In the dream, he stood on the field of the World Championships and World Cup!
In the dream, he was the one standing on the podium at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics!
Over time, the unwillingness to let go turned into resentment.
Now that I have come to the first team, I just want to stay and defeat you - Li Yuang!
