Daily CSCS Question #9
A strength coach programs the following in-season superset for collegiate soccer athletes: - A1: Back squat — 4 × 4 @ 87.5% 1RM - A2: 30-m sprints — 1 rep max effort (timed) - Rest: 2–3 minutes between paired sets After several weeks, sprint times progressively worsen across the session, while squat performance remains stable. The coach wants to maintain maximal strength adaptations without sacrificing sprint quality. Which adjustment is MOST appropriate? Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded. From Chapters 17 and 19

Reduction in sprint times may be indicative of neuromuscular fatigue rather than an actual loss of strength. I would want to move sprints before the squats initially as the 87% places a high demand on the CNS and the sprint time is compromised with the use of fast-twitch fibers in the squat session previously conducted. Reversing the order may increase the sprint speed, but also may then have a negative impact on the squat training. Then this would lead to shifting to a different day altogether if I kept seeing a decline in either approach.
