If I recall correctly:
elasticCoeff means, that in the case of training skill X, if average of skills linked to X by elastic effect is Y levels lower than level of X skill, the training of X skill gets elasticCoeff^Y multiplier. Please notice that in CoachParrot elasticCoeff may be lower than 1, but it seems that in real calculations only elasticCoeff is taken into consideration only if it's higher than 1.
Xtrain is cross-training - X is just short for cross.
Xtrain coeff means, that if you train the highest skill of your player, it gets Xtrain coeff^(highest skill value - average skill value) multiplier.

Well, let's clarify it - we can consider cross-training as two effects happening at once. The first one is the cross-training malus to best skill training - that's where Xtrain coeff matters, and that's the part I've explained in my previous post. The second half is random training of other skills - and you right, that part always happens during the training calculation.

elasticCoeff may be explained at the example of OD training - OD is linked with HN and DV (CoachParrot also says that ID is also linked with OD, but at least I think that we can't be really sure about it).
Let's say you have the player with such skill-set:
OD 8
HN 10
DV 12
The average from HN and DV is 11. Therefore, the elasticCoeff formula looks like elasticCoeff^(11-8), which equals to 0,91^3, and gives us a 0,754 multiplier (rounded). OD training it that example is 25% slower than training of player with such skillset:
OD 8
HN 8
DV 8
or:
OD 8
HN 6
DV 10
or even:
OD 15
HN 15
DV 15 (as difference between average of linked skills and trained skill is 0 in all of those 3 examples, making elasticCoeffmultiplier=1).
