Plyometric training is not a stand-alone training method; it is highly compatible and significantly enhanced by strength training. It is also closely related to speed development.

It is a power development tool. It should almost

Vern,
How might you introduce plyometrics under fatigue for the 400m runner as a relevant example? In the above case, how do you alter your program for the day (fewer contacts, less demanding exercises, etc)? Is there a particular phase during which you find fatigued plyometrics fit well?
Thanks.

Hi Carson,
Vern’s column is syndicated. He does not post directly to this forum, and it’s unlikely he will read your question if posted here. Vern has a site at https://www.gambetta.com/ and I think that site may support user comments and questions.

Pointless blog then IMO if it can’t stimulate discussion with feedback, then what’s the offer?!
Many of Gambetta’s blogs do generate discussion. His blog titled, “Is Sprint Technique Training Necessary?” generated 192 posts on ET. Just wanted you to know this particular blog is syndicated so you would not think that Gambetta was ignoring your question.
On a related note, some syndicated blogs have more value than the originating site because your questions may be less likely to be censored or deleted. Some originating sites don’t allow comments at all, and some that do will delete your comment or question if you don’t kiss the ring.

Yeah i can see that and I mean no offence by my comments.
Just would be nice to have that direct feedback and interaction with the blogger, as it’s their original thoughts that start the discussion.
On side of the blog… I have with varied success and aim used plyos as the main session, start of session (few contacts to stimulate) and at the end when fatigued. Depending on your aim of course
