most sprint coaches will prescribe them for their athletes, and all the more experienced people I race/train with do them
It wasn't so long ago that the prescription for testers was huge mileages, quantity over quality. Just because something is, and has long been, ubiquitous, it doesn't make it right. That's why I asked, in a spirit of genuine enquiry, whether there is any evidence base for very high cadence training for sprinters.
There may be - but I couldn't point you towards it. Afaik BC make their top sprinters do it - I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have left that stone unturned.
