Cuban jump training

Track & Field Long Jump
1

I found some notes in an old training-magazine .This is from a seminar held in Oslo,Norway 1997. It was done by the coaches of Sotomayor,Pedroso and Quesada.

sprinttraining

October-November: 2-8km jogging!!
November-December: 600-800m !!
December: 200-300m
January: 100-150m -) 40-60m

Bounding

A high jumper does 60.000-80.000 contacts a year.
In the triple jump the plyos are divided into 3 different categories:
C-jumps are low intensity (endurance) jumps and contacts per year 25.000-30.000.They are done year around.

B-jumps are boundings without approach.for example 5-bound.They are done in GPP.

A-jumps are speed bounding and depth jumps.

Weigths

They didn’t want to discuss this topic and only
said that Pedroso uses halfsquats.No test results was given.

Tests

Quesada uses slj/5-bound/300m

Other

Low intensity boundings are used for recovery…

During GPP Sotomayor trains 10x/week in the hardest weeks (46 sessions in a 5 week period).The sessions are quite long.

After every session the athletes can get physiotherapy and cold&hot treatments

I dont know if its real that a jumper is doing long runs in the early season.

I find the most interesting thing that cuban jumpers practice (or pedroso practiced) full run up approaches three times a week. I cannot find the link right now but i believe i read it somewhere in this forum.

WOuldn’t this be a typo, 300 instead of 30?
