There is a method, which is referred to as the Rushall method which Michael Andrew uses.
Was wondering if you had any critique about this. If this sort of training is a good idea and what are the problems.
Would this also be good for longer events? Like the 400 IM?
Thanks!
How does one "measure" lactic acid build up?
oooo oooo mr kotter mr kotter i can answer this one easy peasy lemon squeasy.
finger *** blood tests!!!
we did this a LOT. first time we were all stupid and offered a different finger for each *** (using the snap gun) and the next day boy did we learn NEVER to do that again. couldnt touch anything. from then on we would just squeeze that 1st pricked finger until it reopened and use it again. 1 finger not 8 would hurt bad the next day.
what my team proved is that 300-400m of constant swimming warmdown is essential for flushing after intense swimming.
when you have a sample size of 50-60 swimmers and do this test 5 times it can show a trend very quickly. we did this a couple of times also on the USA jr team.
and then 40 of us from my team followed it all up with the big test at UCI were we did VO2 max on the swimbench and followed with la blood test, but the biggie was the muscle biopsy in our thigh to determine red/pink/white muscle comp.
