📄 Great to have our new methods paper on assessing and utilising asymmetry data now accepted for publication in @ElsevierConnect’s #Asymmetry Journal.

Congrats to Cassidy and Helen for this work. CMJ force-time curves of ACL injured athletes were compared with SP< before and after injury. Beyond propulsive phase deficits, the uninjured limb showed altered force production in the unloading phase compared to the preinjury state

🚨 New episode!

@JordanStrength joins us to share how force plates became a key part of his approach to strength & conditioning. From traditional methods to data-informed decisions, we explore what it means to "measure what matters".

This was a great opportunity to share what we are up to at @uofcknes and to connect with friends across the world. It’s a free video

🎯 Keeping them in the Game: A Biopsychosocial Model for Knee Reinjury Prevention in University Athletes

🗣️Prof. @JordanStrength

✅ Contrast a biological vs. a biopsychosocial athlete baseline testing methodology.

✅ Explain the advantages of establishing an objective benchmark to guide return to sport decision making.

✅ Make use of functional and introspective inventories to understand neuromuscular function in university athletes.

Proud to see my friend ⁦@StuartMcMillan1⁩ on the Huberman Lab Podcast discussing sprinting for sport and longevity.

Speed, power, and sprinting matter beyond elite athletics—research (including from my lab) shows they’re key for injury and aging. https://t.co/jsWnd7Ahl3

Landeskog is running through drills. Looks pretty good.

[Sportsmith @SportsmithHQ]

In the Saturday afternoon session, @JordanStrength will be on stage addressing the three challenges we face when using vertical jump testing on a force plate to guide return-to-play decision making and monitoring the return-to-performance transition.

[Matt Jordan, PhD @JordanStrength]

2025 line up is in and it’s fantastic. This is the place to be for scientists and practitioners interested in basketball performance and rehab.

Are You Overlooking These Critical Recovery Metrics and Function in the Uninjured Contralateral Limb? - https://t.co/A3tKIoECuv

[Matt Jordan, PhD @JordanStrength]

@EamonnFlanagan @ZacharyMcclean Good question and in short, it’s how the models worked the best. I think it’s because in our methods, we calculate jump height by TOV^2/2g so our CVs for jump height are usually ^2 that of TOV.

We also used the maximum downward velocity in braking - we aimed for consistency!

[Matt Jordan, PhD @JordanStrength]

Don’t use CMJ testing on a force plate just with bodyweight. Add some extra load, create a velocity-load profile and quantify max strength, including eccentric strength. That was the focus of @ZacharyMcclean ‘s recent publication:
