Training is testing in 🇩🇪📍 Germany A day of real conversations and hands-on application at Die Krafthalle, a great 1080 Speed Clinic ✅ Using data and feedback to drive intent and monitor readiness with @DevAthletes ✅ Assessing and training deceleration with motorized resistance with @LucasGalmiche ✅ Developing acceleration, max velocity, and mechanics with the 1080 Sprint with Jonas Klein Big shoutout to the speakers and all the coaches who showed up ready to learn and apply. See you at the next one 🤝

Join us in 🇩🇪📍 Cologne, Germany for a hands-on workshop dedicated to applying motorized resistance for training and testing, with everything from performance to rehab With a combo of lecture-style presentations and live demos (LVP vs FVP, COD locomotive strategies, and more), this will be day packed of real-life education 🗣️ Speakers @LucasGalmiche @DevAthletes Jonas Klein 🗓️ Wednesday, April 15th This event is free to attend, but registration required More details and how to sign up 👇👇

Isokinetics, deceleration, and rehab in 📍Poland What an electric weekend connecting at the Next Generation Performance Conference, with our own @OlaAthletic1080 sharing the most up-to-date research and best practices on using motorized resistance to build athletes 🧠

Maybe you’ve been told that the CMJ is higher because of elastic energy. It’s not wrong — but it’s not the full picture. So to understand we have to understand what’s happening. Here’s what the science actually says 🧵

@lahti_johan Hey Johan, happy to answer your questions.

What is the price of the forceframe? Or how does the leasing work for Vald? And are there any competitors?

The true scientist is only concerned with seeking the truth, not confirming closely-held biases. Unfortunately, pseudo-scientific influencers dominate the internet. It’s important to be able to differentiate between the two. Here’s a cheat-sheet to help determine who to trust 💪🏽

"Integrating curved braking into monitoring and rehab frameworks has the potential to help uncover subtle asymmetries, objectively track return to play progress, and establish more game relevant performance benchmarks." From @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi…

"In team sports, deceleration is rarely linear. It’s rarely clean. And it’s never easy. It’s time to look beyond straight lines because the game rarely follows them." From @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi…

Deceleration is not optional. Whether a player is pressing an opponent, preparing for a change of direction (COD), or controlling momentum before a skill execution, braking is fundamental. @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi… via @SportsmithHQ

Testing and training curvilinear deceleration in team sports From @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi…

"Most sport-specific decelerations don’t end in a complete stop. Athletes rarely brake to zero. Instead, they modulate speed in response to tactical needs or movement constraints." From @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi…

"Straight line thinking still dominates—and, by doing so, limits—our understanding of deceleration. Athletes do not move, stop, and turn in neat, track-style lanes." From @LucasGalmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi…

5 Tests To Measure Athleticism 🧵 1. 30m Sprint

How do you define "true plyometrics"? Is it all about contact time being <0.250s? Not at all. Verkhoshansky describes the CYCLE of TRUE PLYOMETRICS as follows: Phase 1: “Arrival” Verkhoshansky terms this the "initial momentum phase". Here the body & limbs are arriving readying for ground contact. While the body is in a relatively relaxed state, it's not a passive action. There is muscular preactivation to ready the body, particularly the lower limbs for forceful ground contact. Phase 2: "Initial Impact" Here as the limbs contact the ground, the ground blocks further displacement of the limb & further changes in muscle length. Here, the tendon begins to elongate but muscular contraction hasn't occurred yet. Phase 3: "Amortisation" Here, the stretch reflexes kick in, we have eccentric muscle contraction taking place and an fast, very high force isometric contraction is required to transition to the followig concentric contraction. The coupling time between the eccentric and the subsequent concentric contraction is very short. True plyometrics must have these very short coupling times to harness the full potential of the stretch shortening cycle. Phase 4: "Rebound" Here we have the release of the elastic energy & we have contributions from reflexive muscle actions. We also have contribution from concentric muscular contraction… The body is moving back up into the air and it's about to leave the ground. Phase 5: "Flight" The athlete has left the ground, they're in the air & they're readying themselves for the next action. If we are doing “continuous” repeated plyometric activities, then the flight phase naturally transitions into the next arrival phase (or if we're doing single efforts the flight phase naturally evolves into the landing phase to finish the exercise) This is the underlying cycle of TRUE PLYOMETRICS and we see the maximum benefit of fast stretch shortening cycle utilization when the rates of eccentric loading are high, the coupling time is short and the joint displacements are small. .
