Dear Andrea Cavagna,

The Block Training System is usually finalized to the training of high level athletes not because this model cannot assure increase of sport results in middle level athletes, but because the BTS model represents the last possible way to intensify the training process. BTS is the most powerful training “tool” that a coach has in his arsenal and he should use it only when other training models don’t bring any significant improvement to the athlete’s results.

For these reasons I think that at the beginning of athlete’s track record, especially in young age, it’s better use other training methods which are less invasive in his organism transformation.
