My whole ...Sure thing Josh - thanks for chiming in. My whole blog is about that kind of complementarity (hence the name). The Squiggle Sense of complementary nature (http://thecomplementarynature.com/wordpress/) helped me to bring two opposite ends into perspective, as both needed and complementary, rather than exclusive, and not just in training only. Every field can identify those two (or more) extremes that seems exclusive at the start (wave~particle, top-down~bottom-up, transmitter~receptor, system~part, etc)<br /> Mladen Jovanovićhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496128173509866986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721936663537182702.post-2360041951199284952012-09-18T16:59:21.419+02:002012-09-18T16:59:21.419+02:00Great post! There's a deeper key to the "...Great post! There's a deeper key to the "alchemy" of oppositional pairs (or the "Dialectic" as Hegel called it). It's that in any pair of opposites their is a middle point or mean, which is not simply the two opposites. It is something that "resolves" the two opposites. The mean of "Running Based Conditioning" and "Small Sided Games" is maybe something like the Desired Intention or Desired Outcome of training (though it could be argued that the two are not pure opposites at all).<br /><br />Then there is another element, which is "the whole picture" of the three points. Which in this case would be something like "Conditioning-of-the-gait-based-movement-cycle." It's helpful to have a tool like this, since most of our thinking in the modern world is oppositional.Josh Leegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320183337789459104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721936663537182702.post-31106101589518334752012-09-17T10:59:09.900+02:002012-09-17T10:59:09.900+02:00The production vs production capacity explanation ...The production vs production capacity explanation is very useful. I often see the latest craze being implemented, despite previous training methodology being successful.<br />Good point about mean values being used instead of the range to programme sessions.James Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487205940431221012noreply@blogger.com
