I was reading through some of the old AGT threads. Many discussing how bad glycolytic training is and how it's not as valuable to most or for more than just a peaking phase. I felt there was a distinction missing from the majority of the conversations. I thought it was important to make the distinction between training the body to more efficiently produce and use energy from glycolosis (POWER) rather than train the body to tolerate the byproduct of glycolosis (CAPACITY).
As far as I know, training the ability to produce energy, whether it be from alactic , lactic, or aerobic systems, doesn't have a maximum time frame or frequency limit of benefit. I believe the long-term or high-volume negative effects are associated with the capacity side of the energy production spectrum due to the byproducts effects.
If that's the case, training the glycolytic system to produce and use energy is pretty important to many and the way to prevent the damage is simply though longer rest intervals and limiting total session volume. I feel that the 30 second time domain is quite important to train as long as the rest allows removal of byproduct and restoration of alactic energy stores. If the rest isn't long enough, the effects of 30 seconds are accomplished in less time each subsequent interval, and effectively make a 30 sec interval affect the body in the same way a 60sec one would.
Is the down ladder the solution to short rest glycolytic training? With rest being static at say 75-90", do we simply do 30-25-20-15-10-5" of work to keep on the long-term good side of glycolytic training for more than just peaking?
