Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 To Ken Jakalski, I would like to make a correction in your email regarding the sprint chute. You state that the sprint chute was the " brainchild of former Soviet sprint authority Ben Tabachnik, . . . who is still considered the Arthur Lydiard of the sprint world. " In Russian circles he is not considered the authority on sprint. More specifically, the sprint chute was not his brainchild, it was invented by Ivanov at the National Scientific Research Institute of Physical Culture. Ben Tabachnik was one of the researchers, along with Victor Breizer and Ivanov. It is also important to understand that the chute can be used in different ways, not merely for resistance. If you want to check the original source see Soviet Sports Review pages 162-163 " Running With A Parachute " by V. Breizer, B. Tabachnik, V. Ivanov. > Ken Jakalsi > The sprint chute was the brainchild of former Soviet sprint authority Ben > Tabachnik, who in background, stature, and respect is still considered the Arthur > Lydiard of the sprint world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yessis, Ph.D President, Sports Training, Inc. www.dryessis.com PO Box 460429 Escondido, CA 92046 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
