A basic running program, incorporating the iso’s and reflective movements, Also note, tempo is added (to show how it can be added). Working more on Iso’s holds than on reflective movements in this, for maybe 2months? Depending on advancement. After which, a new program would be drawn up, incorporating ever more harder reflective movements, i.e. Higher plyro’s, depth jumps for both upper and lower body. For now, learning the new exercises, and teaching the body correct joint positions is more in order.
Ice to facilitate recovery between efforts
Massage after session, or acupuncture
Contrast showers
Measure blood pressure, heart rate, and body weight each morning and night. To help gauge recovery levels.
Iso’s held to help produce joint angles and to get the antagonists to learn to switch off.
Reflex efforts to keep the body working at high load without taxing out the CNS.
Keep the body around 5-10% tired.
