Interview with Tudor Bompa

In the translated literature the contrast method is a potentiation method in which the training means use first in the session potentiates the performance of the training means used second in the session.

This may be realized in many different ways.

Sprinting

  1. Resisted sprint
  2. Unresisted sprint

Throwing

  1. heavier implement throw
  2. competition weight throw

Weight Training

  1. eccentric supra-maximal load on weight releasers
  2. sub-maximal load lifted concentrically

and so on

In laymen terms it is a method of CNS trickery.
