Description
Yuki Ashino and Noriyuki Kida follow in 2026 the careers of 179 Japanese college decathletes from 2000 to 2024. Each athlete held scores for at least three school years. The study tests a trade-off rule. Gains in some skills may cost gains in others over time.
Path groups split athletes into high, upper-middle, lower-middle and low total score bands. Speed, jump and throw scores rose with total points in gaining groups. Running stamina showed little tie with total growth. A repeat check on cleaner data matched that pattern. Coaches may gain more from speed and power work when total score is the goal.
