For to improve a capacity(sprint,power,endurance,…)is more important to increase Volume or Intensity?Why?
I recommend to read authors and their studies on theory
of the sport training:
Verkhoshansky- /theory - metodology of sport training - Ed. paidos - 2002 - pg. 311. Verkhoshansky Y - Verso una teoria e metodologia scientifiche dell allenamento sportivo 17 (1998) n 41 - 42 pg. 40 50 Ref. SDS REVISTA DI CULTURA SPORTIVA SCUOLA DELLO SPORT CONI
Verkhosshansky Y - Main Feautures of a modern scientific sports training theory. NSA 1998 - 13:3 9-20
Tschiene P - Una diversa teoria dell allenamento (1998) n 13 - pg 34 -37
Garcia Manso - Spain - High Performance - the adaptation in sport ed. Gymnos 1999.
Issurin and Kaverin: ATR (Acumulation- Transformation and Realization)
that it explains a model of organization of the training process

Mr. Albarracin,
Welcome to the board. It’s great to see the coach of one of the top sprint groups in South America here. I see you guys had a pretty good year!
Mr. Aln
thanks for your words and I hope share experiences and knowledge
with colleagues and athletes. Blessings for you.
Davids, maybe you can review the planning models. If you want I can send to you some copies.
remember the relation Intesity vs Volume in all models:

Are there any links for the articles so people can pull them up on the site?
For Mr Francis and Hugo.
personally… when adjusting volume for individuals i am lucky in that i can
use testosterone/cortisol ratios from weekly blood draws and also
glutamine/glutamate ratios to assist in determining the stress level of the
training for an individual athlete. this allows me to be pretty precise in
loading an athlete to his limit without crossing the line into real
overtraining… then determining the correct volume of training for the
unloading period so that recovery takes place without any detraining.
unfortunately i doubt any of you have the rescources to do this or the
expertise to interpret the data correctly if you did have access to it.
HOWEVER… i do have some “rule of thumb” guidlines… during loading, if
you are capable of setting personal records… your not loading hard enough.
on the other hand, if performance falls below 85% for more than one or two
workouts in a row… then you need to lighten the load. the length of the
loading period is also individual. start with one week to 10 days… after
youve gone through a couple of cycles experiment with 2 and 3 week loading
periods. very few people can handle a 3 week loading period. i know i cant.
however the bulgarians and greeks do, so i know some great athletes can do
it, and maybe some of you can. as far as unloading… you should be
approaching peak performance after 7-10 days of unloading… you should have
peak performance somewhere between 14 and 21 days of unloading. you dont
always want to allow peak performance. you may want to follow 2 or 3
consecutive loading cycles without every allowing complete recover during
unloading, if you are really advanced… however i dont recomend this for
beginners to this type of training… load then unload long enough to set
new personal records… allow another week or two to get good and rested
then load again.
While it’s great to have access to these tests, times (personal records) will tell the tale. As for 3 week loading tolerance, it’s entirely dependant on the loading criteria.
What is your definition of the fall-off to 85%? I assume you DO NOT mean time of execution of reps.
Well my study in working out and theory and all that good stuff has lead me to two theories:
- The more you do something, the better you get at it.
- All abilites have carryover to other abilities.
So basically it works like this : say you have a workout of 4x200 at 30 seconds each and 60 second rest (random example), then your body will adapt itself to that workout. so if all you do is this one workout, you will get good at doing 4x200 at 30 seconds with 60 seconds rest. you will also be able to run 200s faster and slower because it has carryover. but overall you will simply get better at doing that specific workout. and so you will also stagnate because all you are adapting to is that specific workout.
enter periodization . when someone completes workouts, their bodies will adapt and enable them to do that workout better. so say the workout is actually 4x200 at 90%, but your best 200 is 20.00 (more random examples). that means you should be running each 200 at 22.22. so as you complete this workout more often, you are better able to run 200s at 22.22. you will probably improve your max 200 time (or not, since this is a weird example), but only to a certain extent. so athletes stagnate because they are learning one skill (4x200 at 22.22) when trying to learn another (a lower 200 time). at this point, you start doing another skill with specific carryover to running the 200.
ok i hope i explained this well enough for you guys to get what im saying. i know its kind of a simplistic model, but i thought this was an easier way of looking at periodization for an average person. let me know what you think.
Sounds like training by punishment…a lot of trainers in Central Europe work like that - and their 200 or 400m sprinters often suffer stress fractions when their trainer try to develop Speed Endurance…

Good.Interesting.
what good?
when somebody reports the thoughts of other people, he must quote the sources
Are friends…you XXX
While training carry-over is real, it has little application to Special Endurance, in this case the ability to run 20.00. Here, high intensity work starts at 95% of max performance, which would be 21.0, assuming that you’re near a performance peak. While you can’t train at this intensit x vol for long periods, you can train within the intensity by shortening the distances, or with split runs or reps at the required 200 speed over 50 or 60m segments with complete (speed) or incomplete (Spec End) recoveries- but intermediate speeds like 22,0 are not helpful in my experience.
Thanx BIG Charlie!!!
This will be covered extensively in the material now being readied for E-book sales in the very near future (finally! And in a few weeks!)
Good!!!Thanx Coach.
What will the contents of this new book?
I hope how to construct Maco/Meso/Microcycle…true Coach Francis?
