Interview with Tudor Bompa

Could you expand on Part A. Does this mean that the gradual acceleration is more beneficial to novice athletes because there lack of SE diminishes there ability to hit top speed with a full acceleration, and much higher speeds can be achieved with a relaxed run? Is that what you mean by difference in energy expenditure is greater (between max and sub-max accel)?

Thanks.

Yes. The younger sprinters need more corrective form work and this allows more opportunities in light of the absence of SE abilities. That said, the moment form is lost in the drills, the session must be ended.
