Simply recording and tracking the duration of different training types (over a period of time/weekly) and performance, is a good guide for athletes.

CNS fatigue would not be the primary concern in that case then - structural and developmental loads would be of more concern, so that's what I would observe and develop the athlete technically with...

If the intensity is low enough it is a form of recovery, not training

Modified tactical games within training and with instruction and coach-led education would be a better use of youth players time at that stage of development than whole games.
There is a greater...

They usually don't train at a similar intensity on all days.
Also, the intensity of training is so low that the greater risk is volume and structural overload generally (look at the injury...

Correct.
But it's worth saying also that the 'concept' is simply that - a concept or theory - and as such is very useful for communicating and understanding the principles (Charlie espoused).
It's...

That was one of the funniest most subtle hints at Carl and suspected GH use
Excellent piece

Good of you to put that up there again John for people who haven't seen it before.

This is important.

Exactly. Well put.

(Of course the only problem with the above post is that it isn't as commercial as the other BS options promoted by the usual suspects)

A 'structural imbalance' in hip extension suggests a mechanical issue - so it's either one or the other - neural or mechanical.

Yes, Ice after CNS days

Yes, Cns days for ice baths.
You can change the massage around, but just don't focus on legs only all the time, though important.

Can you explain this please ...


What is a 'structural imbalance in the hip extension function' ...?

If the sport is sprinting (guessing here) I'd shift Ice baths to those days (if they have the greatest CNS demand), contrast on the others.

The simple answer is that there is no proper answer - especially in the application of the theory. MR has a complex series of variables, which are all interdependent.

- Type of session just completed

This is correct and even evident in football, where some guys are not quite sure of their age.
A few years shaved off your age in football can equal alot more money at the tail-end of your career....
