Coaching Background The University of Minnesota 2008, 2011-2012 The University of Findlay 2008-2009 The Univ. of Northern Colorado 2009-2011 70 All-Conference Athletes 14 NCAA All-Americans 5 Player of the Year Award Winners 2 NCAA National Championship Teams MARSOC 2012-Present Necessity for Multiple Domains Coach, I need to get bigger without putting on weight, in better shape without losing strength what about X-Ray vision and the ability to breath underwater? Traditional programming models can lead to detraining in domains where there is a lack of stress application during concentrated phases, in other words; sacrifices in endurance in the name of strength and vice versa.

Mixed-Type Residual Training Mixed-Typing; the combination of multiple varied stress applications throughout training cycles that is systematic and compatible in structure and design. Residual Training; periodization principle that provides guidance on which type of stressor needs to be applied and the frequency of its application to prevent detraining in multiple domains. Periodization Comparisons Linear Periodization Block Periodization (without training residuals) Mixed-Type Residual Training Interchangeable Nomenclature Alactic/ATP-PC /Creatine Phosphate System Lactic/Anaerobic/Glycolytic Aerobic/Oxidative For the purpose of simplicity, this presentation will use the following terminology: Alactic Lactic Aerobic

Motor Ability Residual Physiological Adaptations Maximum Speed 2-8 Days Improved NM interactions & motor control, increased PCR+ storage Strength Endurance Lactic Work Capacity / Power 10-20 Days Muscle Hypertrophy (mainly slow-twitch), improved enzymatic function, better local blood circulation and lactic acid tolerance 14-22 Days Increased amount of anaerobic enzymes, H+ buffering, and glycogen storage. Increased likelihood of lactate accumulation Maximum Strength 25-35 Days Improvement of neural mechanism & muscle hypertrophy due mainly to fiber enlargement Aerobic Work Capacity / Power 25-35 Days Increased aerobic enzymes & mitochondria, muscle capillaries, hemoglobin capacity, glycogen storage, increased rate of fat metabolism SAQ & Endurance Parameters Adapted from Issurin, V.

Block Periodization 2: Fundamental Concepts and Training Design. Michigan, USA: Ultimate Athlete Concepts. Before: Maximal Strength Strength Endurance During: Aerobic Restoration (HR 120-140 BPM) Mixed Alactic/Lactic Endurance Non-Compatible: Aerobic Work Capacity / Power Compatible Lactic Domains Lactic Sprints 1:2 work-to-rest ratio Anaerobic Power Limited amount of alactic/lactic mixed endurance. Additionally, does not have to be strictly cardio, weight training options work as well.
Lactic Capacity - Field Example Lactic Power Field Example Possible Explanation Rick Brunner, Explosive Ergogenics for Athletes, Minnesota Sports Performance Seminar, 2014. Separate lactic and aerobic work as much as possible, whenever possible- goal is a minimum of 2 sleep cycles.

Necessity for Future Research Are any of these domains more important than others? Will successful performance in these areas predict successful tactical performance? Exercise specificity or just generalized performance across domains?
