ANALYSIS OF THE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS THAT CONDITION RHYTHM TRAINING

Pace training in the 400m hurdles is essential to maximize the athlete's performance and is based on a combination of technical physical and psychological factors. Technically the stepping technique between hurdles and the cadence and pace frequency are crucial to maintain a constant and efficient pace. Physically aerobic and anaerobic capacity are developed through interspersed training while explosive strength and flexibility are necessary for takeoffs and landings over hurdles. Psychologically concentration focus and the ability to handle stress are critical to maintain technique and pace under high-pressure conditions. This holistic approach ensures that the athlete can sustain a consistent and efficient pace throughout the race optimizing performance on the track.
