This is difficult to answer as we should view each athlete individually as
trends and themes can be misleading. That said the question of trainability
does ask different questions of those people training experienced athletes.
With greater training experience, improvements are harder to come by, which
means training must be both smarter and harder, or increasingly novel. The
latter is my preference, increasing volume or intensity with athletes is a
dangerous game as their physical capacity to handle this might be improved,
but their tolerance for more of the same may not.
I would suggest that with experience greater variety and invention is needed
to maintain the mental freshness and provide a novel training stimulus which
is needed to get that extra few percent from a highly trained athlete.

Subject: [Supertraining] Re: Total time of training in one year among the
international athletes
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...) ??
