Off-season d Winter work< By STEVE BULLARD Gamecock Staff Writer If Carolina's football players look a little faster, a little stronger and a little more agile next year, one reason might be theii * ? * uii-season training program. The off-season program, headed by offensive backfield coach Dick Rader, consists of a series of running drills, agility drills and workouts on the Nautilus weight machine. "WE'RE TRYING to increase every player's agility and strength," Rader said. "By doing this we feel like we can get ready for spring practice faster and eliminate a number of injuries." Rader said the Nautilus weight program is based on complete fatigue. A person lifts a series of different weights until he can no longer lift that weight. As a person continues to lift to the point of fatigue, new muscle tissue is formed.

"At Texas Tech we had the ! Universal weights program." The players go through the conditioning program Monday through Thursday. Agility and running exercises are done one day while Nautilus exercises are done the next. THE TEAM is divided into three groups for conditioning exercises. One group consists of linemen, linebackers, and defensive ends, one group composed of receivers and backs and one of players recovering from injuries. Trainer Dave Huffstetler supervises the rehabilitation of injured players. "Most injuries are injuries to joints," Huffstetler said. "What we try to do is 1 rehabilitate the muscles that run through the joint.

"Most of our drills are strength and agility. I just know my knee is good right now." HUFFSTETLER SAID all athletes receive individual attention during conditioning workouts. "There is a coach with each man as he works out on the Nautilus, and we keep records of each athlete's individual progress," he said. Hie program takes little time out of an athlete s day. "When they do the running and agility drills, they are here less than an hour and a half," Huffstetler said."When they are on the Nautilus, it takes them 45 minutes on an average."

"Because of the complete fatigue principle, it takes less time than the conventional program," he said. "The kids seem to like this. It gives them a lot more free time." "I like it a lot," lineman Joe McGregor said. "You do most of the work on your own. Hie coaches are there and they get on you to do things, but it's up to you to do it." KUBEBACJER DAVUD Orezioso said the program has mostly helped freshmen and sophomores. "The program really helps the people who have never lifted much before. It really helps the freshmen and sophomores;" he said. "But I've gotten a lot out of the program too." t 1 " rifled Ads Vork! : I njAMI * M hmumvihw : ATORS, STEREOS \ WlaMiaAr.wiMtlMaMaibr.lMMCMk ECK BOX FOR ITEM ORDERED I 1 MIANBUNCAIWiairniW J FMt D*Uv*ry iDBiirtnl fm.
