47% of practitioners report finding accelerometer-derived metrics (e.g. PlayerLoad, Dynamic Stress Load) easy to understand But only 6% could provide a definition judged to be 'good' Those giving 'incorrect' or 'poor' definitions still rated their understanding as 6-7 out of 10

One astonishing thing about advanced math is how endlessly useful and flexible it is. Throughout my life, I'll have been working on a problem for months only to discover that some random math theorem I learned twenty years ago is relevant to it.

🆕"This study provides an empirical explanation for why decelerating movements are amongst the most challenging in team sports" ➡️ Relevant to inform DEC-specific training prescription in elite ⚽️ 👉Jasper Verheul Damian Harper, PhD marobinson 2024 🇳🇱 📂Open Access: tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

An examination of deceleration loading patterns across the different levels of the musculoskeletal system. Hopefully another step towards informing appropriate deceleration-specific training. Great to see this work out now in Journal of Sports Sciences - with Damian Harper, PhD and marobinson.

Great biomechanical study 🙏 ➡️ Soleus + tibialis anterior = shin discipline ☑️ Distal absorber muscles in the sagittal plane ➡️It’s not just about the soleus ‼️

📢 Our Next Blog is Live! 💥 An Analysis of the Musculoskeletal Forces Experienced During Horizontal Decelerations in Multi-Directional Sports In this in-depth breakdown, we explore: 🦵 The key musculoskeletal demands of deceleration ⚖️ The role of eccentric strength and joint

🚨 The 3 Phases of Ground Contact in Horizontal Deceleration 🏃‍♂️💥 Understanding how the body absorbs force during deceleration is key for performance and injury reduction. In this visual breakdown: 🔴 High-load and 🟡 moderate-load areas are highlighted across the lower-limb

📈 How Do Ground Reaction Forces Differ Across Sprint and Deceleration Tasks? 🏃‍♂️💨🛑 This chart compares vertical (left) and horizontal (right) ground reaction force profiles across: 🔴 Deceleration 🔵 Acceleration 🟡 Slow constant-speed running ⚪️ Fast constant-speed running

💪 Which Lower-Limb Muscles Work Hardest During Deceleration? 🛑🏃‍♂️ 📊 Forces are normalised to body weight (BW), and velocities are shown relative to each muscle’s resting length. 🦵 The duration of muscle lengthening is presented as a percentage of ground-contact time. ⚠️
