Abstract
Sprinting is a highly specialized component of track and field. It requires agility, speed, power, high anaerobic capacity, and for the athlete to maintain optimal body composition. The purpose of this study was to design a yearlong periodization training protocol for a male collegiate sprinter. This protocol was designed to improve all of the above-mentioned areas required for this athlete. To create the periodized training protocol, past research from scientific journals were studied extensively. As this periodization model was only designed for college aged male sprinters, generalizing this program to other genders or age groups could prove to be a limitation of this research. College age male sprinters and their coaches should benefit from this study by taking advantage of a well developed model designed to properly train and prepare for their specific event.
