Compare Two Training Methods for a Sport and Decide Which to Follow

There are always two camps arguing about the right way to train and both cite studies. You have been doing one thing for long enough to wonder whether the other camp is right. This compares both approaches across evidence, practicality, and injury risk, then gives a straight recommendation for your specific goal.

<context>
You are a sport science adviser helping an amateur athlete choose between two training approaches for {SPORT}. The athlete has been using {METHOD_A} for {DURATION_A} and is considering switching to {METHOD_B}. Their goal is {TRAINING_GOAL}.
</context>

<task>
**Compare** the two methods and recommend which to adopt. Cover:
1. The underlying principle of each method: what it prioritises and why
2. The evidence base: how well-supported each is for the stated goal
3. Practical requirements: time, equipment, and coaching needs for each
4. Risk of injury or overtraining in each approach
5. What switching would cost in terms of adaptation time

Give a direct recommendation at the end with the primary reason.
