Agreed, in regards to extension of the support leg-it's a physics problem. The greater the extension the greater the capacity to generate stiffness during ground support. The greater the stiffness...

The biodynamic structure of the start mechanics is one in which the amplitude of movement is significantly different than dry land sprinting from a low start.

In the skeleton start there is no...

Thanks spike

As I've state numerous times over the years, the US is way behind in the area of sport science, and all that this field encompasses, as it may be directed into the coaching pipeline.

What we...

While the IAAF legislature is unlikely to be influenced by what is discussed here, in my view, the false start rule must be individual to each sprinter on the track.

The only reason the rule was...

Let's play the 'if' game...if Asafa is in that relay the Jamaican's go sub 37

The US team's history with exchange blunders is embarrassing. Now, it's moved past embarrassing into the land of ludicrous.

Interestingly enough, I found his answers to be much more consistent with block versus concurrent methodology.

- He seems not to include any sort of general organism strength work in the training...

Excellent interview and great read kitkat1

Ato Bolden predicted something like this needing to happen in order to serve as a catalyst to get the rule tossed.

As soon as the rule went into action last year I thought it was a joke. Of all...

Unless there was some sort of difficulty or distraction in hearing the start command, that is an inexcusable error particularly because, correct me if I'm wrong, a 400m race has never been decided in...

In fairness to the others, I think he's more aptly described as an anomaly amidst worlds class talent; although some of the other sub 9.9 and 9.8 potential men were not in that heat, or in Daegu for...

Nice to see a high level athlete acknowledge the importance of those who assist them throughout the training process.

Fine points have been shared thus far by all. Keep in mind that my age group was 14-16.

Regarding the contraindication of lactic loads on pre-adolescents, this stems from the stress that these...

In 2005 through 2007 I was paid via grant money through the school district to completely re-write the PE curriculum for the high school I was coaching at, at the time. The PE program had around 300...

Bryan Clay Pulls Out of Daegu

Bryan Clay has withdrawn from the World Championships in Daegu citing a minor knee injury.

“I have come to a decision to withdraw from Daegu because I feel that I...

Good point

Interesting thing about the nerves. This begs the question as to whether his historical lack of performing at the level of his true potential during big multiple round competitions was not in fact a...

Gymrob, no point in anyone rewriting what has already be published time and time again overseas. Review more of the Russian materials and it will become very clear to you at the physiological level;...

I spoke to JB.

Par for the course, the story in print is inaccurate and all the press and whoever else can rant all they want about this, that, and the other. As for what was 'printed' about him...

I appreciate your candidness. My first year coaching was the year I joined Charlie's site (in 03) and I've no doubt been through this thread and collected exceptional data from it over the years. I...

Results speak, I appreciate you sharing your experiences in this regard. That said, I'm interested to know your thoughts on why the adaptation response was more directed towards sport improvement...

I look forward to reviewing the interview you spoke of in a previous post.

As for what you've described here, have you given thought to how the needs may be addressed within the block system...

Sure, just keep in mind that the running A's are not a special endurance activity; but rather a strength endurance activity
