Rapid deceleration demands generation and attenuation of huge BRAKING forces! ⚡️ "Flywheel training seems a particularly effective training modality for enhancing BRAKING capabilities" Read more in latest blog: humanbrakingperformance.com/developing-ecc… #brakes #deceleration #exxentric #speed

BRAKING steps during max. horizontal deceleration from high sprint speed. Earlier braking steps have lower GCT (~150-170ms) compared to later braking steps (~225+ms). Important considerations when prescribing exercises to enhance deceleration❗️ Blog... humanbrakingperformance.com/developing-ecc…

⚽ Our New Deceleration Research Paper shows: ⚡ Some players brake well in one COD test but struggle in others 🔑 Early-phase deceleration is key for COD 🏎️ Higher peak speed ≠ better deceleration 🛑 Late-phase shows the highest deceleration values 🗞️ sportperfsci.com/deceleration-p…
