Understanding Speed and Flexibility in Sports Training
Speed in Sports
Definition
Speed is the ability to move quickly and efficiently. It’s crucial for success in many sports and activities.
Types of Speed
- Cyclical Speed: Used in repetitive movements like running.
- Acyclical Speed: Used in single, explosive movements like throwing.
- Reaction Speed: The ability to react quickly to a stimulus.
- Gesture Speed: The speed of a single, isolated movement.
- Displacement Speed: The ability to cover a distance quickly.
Evolution of Speed
Speed development varies with age:

Body Expression: A Comprehensive Overview
Definitions
Body language is a universal and common language that allows individuals to communicate with themselves and others, aligning with sentiment (Ledro Demerchi and Fiore, 1973). It can be defined as:
- An instrument capable of expressing itself.
- A language that can find its own expression (Schinca, 1988).
- A set of techniques that utilize the human body-language element, allowing for the disclosure of internal content (Bara, 1975).
Fundamentals of Body Expression

Golpeos (Strikes) – Classification
1) Struck with a part of the body: If made with any part of the surface of the executor segment (hand, foot) – Hit with an implement when done with any instrument governed by a body segment.
2) Given the subject and the object:
- Static: Subject and object are not in motion.
- Dynamic: Subject and object are in motion.
- Combined: A combination of static and dynamic movements.
3) The body part that is hit: Over the shoulder, lateral.

Psychomotor development:
driving behaviors are the first and more apparent since the beginning of development.
Fundamental laws: the law according to cephalo-caudal development, are controlled by body parts that are closer to the head, then spread down control. The next-distal law refers to the fact that they controlled before the parts that are closer to the body axis than those that are more remote from the shoulder joint eje.Asi is controlled before the elbow.

Understanding Force: A Comprehensive Guide to Strength Training
What is Force?
Force is defined as the ability to overcome external resistance or react to it by muscle tension. It is also understood as the maximum stress that the muscles are able to develop. Force is a fundamental aspect of physical abilities, as movement requires muscular contraction, which must be strong. Force is equal to muscle tension, determined by the degree of muscle contraction. There are two key aspects to improving strength:
1. Mechanical Point of View
From a mechanical perspective,
