Research on Elitetrack.com

New things to add:

Eccentric Training (Heavy)
Fast Eccentric
--> Important for power development.

Decreasing body fat (body mass and vertical jump inversely proportional.

Heavy squatting ONLY and very light training ONLY is not optimal.
Working Heavy, Med, Light stuff for power development.

Squats should be done year-round
Variation in the squats can push adaptation
Load, Speed of lift in each section of the lift could be adequate stimuli.

Periods of High volume, low intensity...followed by Periods of Intense loads, low volume produce drastic changes in power output.

Eastern Bloc Periodization is better than Western Linear Periodization.
Better to have a multi-faceted approach toward training than taking a two-steps forward 1-step back approach.

Sprinting Mechanics:
Vertical Forces are more important than horizontal forces.
Arm swing has zero impulse, for they counterbalance each other.
"Trying" to pawback hinders speed. They should be natural.


Contrast Training during the Microcycle
Contrast Training during the day?

Repeated Effort + Sub-Maximal Methods = Better for developing strength for longer periods of time than Max Effort and Dynamic Effort. ME and DE should be used in Phases.
