![Page 14: Considerations in Coaching the Combined Events...Considerations in Coaching the Combined Events Dan Lefever University of Missouri Wednesday, December 19, 12 Background • Combined](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042104/5e828c88b3ca7219556a2ab4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Training Commonality
• Finding Opportunities to Teach Skills Which Apply to More than One Event- Power Positions in Throws- Acceleration Mechanics in Sprints/
Jumps- Rhythmic Considerations- Direction of Force Application

Complementary Training (Sessions)
• Ordering Training Sessions so that the Order of Sessions in a Microcycle Enhances the Ability to Improve in Another Activity
- Rest & Restorative Activities- Shallower or Deeper into Same Pool
- Day of Working Shot Drills Followed by a Day of Full Throwing

Compatible Training (Session)
• Grouping by Neuromuscular Demands- Acceleration Work and Multi Throws
• Grouping by Metabolic Demands- General Strength Circuits and Tempo Work
• Grouping by Technical Commonality- Hurdles and Long Jump/Pole Vault
• Grouping by Ground Contact Times- Max Velocity Sprints and Hurdle Hops
• Grouping by Rhythmic Demands- High Jump and Javelin Approaches
