Monitoring training load through the CMJ in sprints and jump events for optimizing performance in athletics

The study of training load has always provoked controversy and it is still unresolved as to which is the optimal training load to achieve peak performance. Most studies simultaneously analyze training’s acute effects and the relationships between the different variables, though in many cases there i...

Sumario:The study of training load has always provoked controversy and it is still unresolved as to which is the optimal training load to achieve peak performance. Most studies simultaneously analyze training’s acute effects and the relationships between the different variables, though in many cases there is no scientific evidence about the most suitable loads and their effects on performance. Our aim was to provide relevant and useful information to monitor and organize athletic training in a rational way, by obtaining more complete information about the effects of the training process. Twentyfour sprinters took part in the study. The subjects’ physical condition was tracked weekly using the countermovement jump (CMJ) and by collecting other data about the weekly training load for 71 weeks. We highlight the progression of CMJ and training load dynamics in the four weeks before competition in which the best performance was obtained during the 71 weeks of the study. In conclusion, if training load and its relationship to physical and athletic performance is exhaustively monitored, it would allow for adequately adjusting training loads and it would also provide relevant, useful information for a rational traininh plan
