Supportive Literature of Speed Development

[speedster12]

@ehart7

Basically, I need to defend two things:

1. That a short-to-long speed development program, properly implemented in the annual plan, can elicit a transfer of training effect for RFD in untrained and trained collegiate athletes (or any population for that matter), and

2. That extensive core-tempo work increases the rate of recovery for untrained and trained athletes (I am aware of the hypothetical physiological effects of core-tempo work but I would like the literature to support it).

If you know of any peer-reviewed (or anything that references a specific study, etc.) articles/journals where I can find support for those arguments I would really appreciate it.

I dont see the issue with your two points. Those points are not necassairly specific to CF. Im pretty sure its well known that aerobic work can enhance recovery in the literatre and that sprinting can enhance RFD. Those seem like very general topics, its not until you get deeper into CFs work that you cannot find literature to support it.
