| Abstract | ||||
| Professor Brent Rushall defined USRPT in 2011 (Rushall, 2011). It involves high intensity swimming in sets that match the best-achieved velocities of ndividuals' races. When certain criteria are reached in training sets, training velocities are increased. To facilitate the greatest volume of race-pace training, the ultra-short training format is used. That format generally consists of a high number of repetitions over short distances with brief rests (generally no longer than 20 seconds). The aim of the USRPT format is to cover the greatest accumulated distance at race-pace for every event of interest. The system is self-correcting, preventing swimmers from becoming systemically exhausted, USRPT and the science upon which it is based is a completely different format of coaching to traditional coaching. Coaches have to work harder, particularly in providing feedback about aspects of technique; swimmers receive performance feedback every practice item in a training session and are therefore motivated to participate in the sport more willingly, with enthusiasm, and with an expectation of often-daily performance improvements. Those characteristics do not exist in traditional training settings | ||||
