Could the more knowledgeable members comment on this topic please??
I'm a bit confused...
How should the volume of an individual athlete vary from year to year?
Does this depend on the sport and/or athlete's age or not? Focusing
only on optimal results and leaving factors such as money,
competitions etc, should the (average) volume increase or decrease?
Does specificity play a role on this (eg., on intense sports like
weightlifting volume should decrease because training should become
more specific with training age...) ??
