Short Rest Accelerations for Sports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I've talked about RSA (Repeat Sprint Abiity) training. Developing one's RSA can be done with a variety of conditioning methods, however developing it very similar to the way one would use their RSA is what I want to cover.
Recently also experimenting with shorter recovery time inbetween sprints, I saw that the shorter rest didn't have same effects as max velocity did. That being said I still use full recovery for accels however for sports guys who need to have the ability to accelerate stop accelerate quickly, using shorter recovery time may be more beneficial.
Now I've already talked about this, but here I want to introduce a new workout idea, doing accels in sets. You've seen my max velocity/SE workouts in sets, so here I will show you a acceleration workout in sets.
6x5x20
After each 20m, you would rest 40-50 seconds then go again. After each set, rest 5 minutes to regenerate, then repeat like the last set.
These type of workouts are done well, AFTER one has developed the necessary sprint mechanics and speed/acceleration, so they can make good use of their already developed speed and wont hinder mechanics due to fatigue from shorter rest times.
