Strength Training seems to be the most effective strategy for injury prevention. #BQSalut @YLMSportScience

Evidence for glute activation training has been anecdotal. Until now!

Your painful story brings God glory. Share your suffering with others, in all its messiness. dsr.gd/1XFKg26

Barbell hip thrust better than other hip thrust variations for upper glute activation

Varied lower body exercises are better than "just squats" for increasing overall quad size

Excited to officially launch the @GroinBar Hip Strength Testing System. A game changer in monitoring hips and groins

Sprinting faster seems to require a greater ability to absorb force than to produce it, at least in the hamstrings

Strength gains are specific to the external load used in training

Adding foam rolling to static stretching might lead to greater increases in flexibility

Strength training is velocity-specific, but high-velocity training transfers better to all velocities than slow-velocity training

Stability-specific strength gains are greater under less stable conditions

Quadrant of doom.40% of players with weak Nordic ham strength and short BF fascicle length sustained a HMI during pre-season @davidopar

Repetition strength is greater eccentrically than concentrically, even with the same percentage of eccentric/concentric 1RM

We treat vertical jump ht like it's sacred. How the jump is derived may be more important than the height itself for athletic development.

The great horizontal vs. vertical forces debate. Where do you stand?

Leaning forward in the lunge makes it more hip-dominant

A master craftsman can create beautiful works with dimestore tools. It ain't about the tech, it's about what you do with it. Skill vs glam

Horizontal drop jump training best for sprinting; vertical drop jump training best for vertical jumping (force vector specificity)

Marriage is a mystery — it contains and conceals a meaning far greater than what we see on the outside. dsr.gd/2ehZCKe

The split squat is a more hip-dominant exercise than the standard back squat
