For those of you interested in the biomechanical and physiological determinants of sprint performance with aging, take a look at a PhD study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). The dissertation is available (for free, pdf) at digital archive under: http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-951-39-3613-6 JT |

This serious study from Jyväskylä University is otherwise more directly accessed via: https://jyx.jyu.fi/dspace/bitstream/han ... sequence=4 Obviously, much of this has been said before in various ways. But the study is really something. It is worthy of a lot of consideration and more important - let's act on it. If anyone in Sweden is interested, I can be a contact point in Stockholm for discussion on this study and related initiatives concerning weights-related training for sprinters and jumpers. Hör av er. Thanks JT and Ken Stone. |

It is a fascinating and wide-ranging scientific study. Coincidentally I will be competing (for Sweden, as a foreign permanent resident of Sweden) at the coming 19-21 March 2010 Nordic Masters Championships at Jyväskylä. I will try and get more on the specifics of the weights and strength exercises mentioned in the Appendix of Paper VI. The sprint training programme is clear. |

My takeaways after skimming this long thesis. (1) It's mostly about "ups" -- recover as much plyo, vertical as you can; (2) Lots of increased strength translates into a little extra speed for the 100m and less so as the distance increases -- nonetheless 25% increase in strength and 2% increase in speed is possible in 20 weeks, if you do it right (and start at the right level). |
