ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Depth jump "introspection"
« on: December 24, 2010, 05:11:35 am »
I've talked about this theory of mine some time ago on TVS, but here it is again:
Box height / VJ (cm):
30 / 60
40 / 70
50 / 75
60 / 72
If we're to listen to the "general consensus", the optimal box height for this athlete is 50 cm, since off that box he gets the highest subsequent VJ (75 cm). But in my opinion, maybe he should use the 60 cm box where the inhibition starts to take place, that being the 60 cm box since the subsequent VJ is 72 cm there (-3 cm).
That should teach this athlete that it's OK to load more eccentrically so adaptations occur.
What do you guys think?
PS. I think this could work but it might be even more injury prone than a regular depth jumps since probably the landing mechanics are compromised, and this kind of destroys my concept.
