Aerobic Conditioning in Football – Is Zone 2 Training Outdated? ⚽️🏃‍♂️ In this new opinion piece with @PaulBLaursen, we explore why HIIT might be a better fit: - Integration with Football - Player Phenotype Compatibility - Efficient Molecular Signaling 🔗 bit.ly/44ydKIm

It isn’t about the perfect squat. It isn’t about the perfect macronutrient breakdown. It’s about sustainable lifestyle changes that allow someone to live a healthier and happier life.

FT. Kings Arms 10-2 @Oldnovosfc Great result in hot conditions. 4/5 lads could have picked up MoM. We continue our unbeaten streak. @MattSlaterpt ⚽️ @deanonbrown ⚽️ @MichaelMc17 ⚽️⚽️⚽️ @MatthewWHopkins ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Jay Barber ⚽️⚽️ Opposition MoM @Lewvines Player MoM - Lambie

Game Sunday ⚫️⚪️

@deanonbrown @McintyreScottt Hahahaha ya right. Was trying to figure it out for ages man 😂

@MattSlaterpt @McintyreScottt Is it not ‘fickle’? 😂

all am hearing is almiron slander, bollocks that, people have a stick at bruno coz he lost wu that game, not almiron

@JGreenwoodNFTV The thing is with football, we are thickle. A game we have the advantage of, but not the result. Complacent? Tactical? Individual? Many things play the role, but a team wins, and loses all together.

One hot day doesn't make summer. Yet we are quick to criticise those who have brought joy to the region. The fans are as responsible as the owners down.

@McintyreScottt WE'VE GOT BAKER IN THE MIDDLE

50’ 3-0 @MattSlaterpt with a prime Modric outside of the boot pass with Conway getting on the end of it and slotting home

‘Sport science runs the risk of being irrelevant to coaches, If training research continues as it is’ A conclusion from a new international survey of coaches, Here are the findings (for those wanting to close the application gap)

Good convo with sport coach who also runs the S&C for his baseball team. Reminder why Plyos are NECESSARY Plyometrics are the bridge from weight room to field of play Re sharing PLYO builder below 👇🏼

Testing in rehab. Top down vs bottom up. Keep it simple 🧵 In a world full of now seemingly infinite testing and data possibilities, I try and keep it simple.

Limit Backside Mechanics-This drill targets 🎯 this issue. Use a band - medium tension. This helps hip flexors be able to stop the backwards motion of the leg then be able to rip it forward. Best sprinters have the SHARPEST exchange-ie no lag time from going backwards-to-forward.

Over the course of a full 90-min football match play, 300 acceleration and deceleration efforts are performed per half. 18% of total distance covered is completed while accelerating or decelerating (Akenhead et al., 2016).

@Craig__Edwards_ It's crazy how much of an effect it has

The last 5-6 weeks the weather has been terrible in the northeast. Rain, rain, and more rain. Which makes something blatantly obvious to me… Great weather has a tremendous impact on your mental health and sense of well being. The opposite is also true.

You hear... Fat is the problem…so people stop eating fat. Carbs are the problem…so people stop eating carbs. Foods that aren’t meat are the problem…so people only eat meat. Here is the truth Too many calories, no matter where they are from, is the problem.

FYI… Any calories that aren’t burned, no matter if they come from starches, protein, sugars, or fats, will end up as extra tissue in your body. Stop blaming certain macronutrients. Start blaming overconsumption.

Speed Training Pro Tip Most field sport athletes hit top speed around 30 yards and maintain it until about 40 yards After that they decelerate Keep you sprint reps under 40 yards 20-30 yards is the sweet spot for me
