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
- Resisted sprint
- Unresisted sprint
Throwing
- heavier implement throw
- competition weight throw
Weight Training
- eccentric supra-maximal load on weight releasers
- sub-maximal load lifted concentrically
and so on
In laymen terms it is a method of CNS trickery.
