Two other procedures that are appropriately used with planned contrasts (besides t-tests) are Dunnett's many-one method and Bonferroni's inequality. A full complement of planned contrasts will consist of one less than the number of means in the study, and they should all be at least linearly independent of one another (if they aren't mutually orthogonal - a stronger form of linear independence). Planned t-tests can be conducted instead of an Anova (or even notwithstanding a 'non-significant' Anova F value) by virtue of their having been planned prior to collecting the data in that experiment or study. Technically, planned tests (or the use of planned contrasts) are not "follow-up" tests that are done following a 'significant' omnibus F value from an Anova.
