Period	Speed of movement (duration of centripetal and centrifugal contraction)	Scrambling gears	Rest time between sets
1–2 weeks	3 s; 3 s	1–2	2–2.5 min
3–7 weeks	3 s; 3 s	3–4	1.5–2.0 min
8–12 weeks	2 s; 4 s	5–6	1.0–1.5 min
13–17 weeks	3 s; 3 s	A1	0.5–1.0 min
18–22 weeks	As fast as possible; 3 s	A2	1.0–1.5 min
23–24 weeks	As fast as possible; 3 s	A3	1.5–2.0 min
