Training article - For everyone!

What you are saying is you need to work on your aerobic capacity to become a faster sprinter correct? Not quite I am sorry (for my English abilities). What I said so far is that several studies showed that aerobic capacity contributes for 35% of the overall metabolic demand during a 100y/m. This is the running out of breath part. To be little more specific, anaerobic capacity creates accumulated o2 deficit. Aerobic capacity counterbalances this. Also, all lactic acid released in your blood would love to be oxidized later in the metabolic process. That too requires o2. That is probably the reason why a surprisingly high percentage of the overall metabolic demand for swimming a 100 goes to the aerobic component of it. - - - - - Then I am asking about every one's opinion on the importance of building a training aerobic Base (which is certainly not limited to aerobic capacity work) prior committing to a serious anaerobic capacity development program. In other words, does periodization still have a place in the season wide planning equation, if so, is there still a need for a Base Building phase?
