Hypothesis on specialized training models

Hypothesis on specialized training models *Warning* this may bore some members, please privately message me to find the solution for you. With 18 swimming events, fulfilling the maximum potential in each discipline requires specific training models. Also, with the variety of body types, the training program needs to vary from person to person. For example, Dara Torres might not have the same level of success in a program designed for Michael Phelps, and vice versa. So, in order to maximize either side of the spectrum, a multi-faceted approach is required. The point is, one program works very well for a particular type of person, and not so good for another. So which program is better? Neither, that answer depends on the athlete in question. So you see, a coach can have success with either program, and the athlete with a predisposition for that type of training will rise to the top. I need to dispel any myths that one program is better than another. This only makes arguable sense when talking about a particular athlete. So please, the traditional methods do have merit when training particular athletes. Although, the Nystrand versus Popov debate is another example for the need towards flexible technique analysis. Ultimately, it comes down to the specific strength and weaknesses of each particular athlete. The point is, the depth of potential may be a higher number than we previously assumed, and that my friends, is an opportunity. Happy Swimming, Jonathan R. Miller:wave:

  • isn't haiku supposed to be 5-7-5 syllables? Lactic tolerance Adenosine triphosphate Physiology Now that's pretty. But haiku is based on equal syllabic stresses (or the equivalent in ideograms -- does anybody know?), whereas English of COURSE does not HAVE such a THING. There is no real haiku form in English, only people amusing themselves. And that's fine with me. But it also means you can make up your own rules, like TEGWAR,* in Bang the Drum Slowly (speaking of baseball, as we were). *TEGWAR: The Exciting Game Without Any Rules. Regards, VB
