Strength matters...

Stronger athletes respond quicker & more specifically to ballistic & jump training.

BUT: Without continued heavy strength work, the decay of force-producing capabilities likely limited improvements after 5 weeks.

Here's a recent paper from our lab w/ lots of collaborations. @enda_king + crew at @Aspetar asked us to write a piece on the importance of explosive strength after ACLR.

We review testing methods for explosive strength (RFD) and SSC mechanics

📄 Great to see this one now online in @NSCASCJonline, led by @JordanStrength (who is always fun to work with).

🗣️ It also formed the foundation for my recent talk at the @Aspetar ACL conference, with @enda_king and colleagues.

Absolutely the ruptured ACL can heal.

We just need to give people a fighting chance to see if their ACL can heal.

To do this takes time.

A thread 🧵

[Dr James Morehen @James_Morehen]

Have you ever wondered how many kcal pro football players burn during an international training camp?

We did, and so we researched it & recently published the study ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Here is a quick breakdown of why we did it, how we did it & what we can learn from the study

Let's go🧵

Great opportunity to join the @SurreyStorm team #physio

[Geir Jordet @GeirJordet]

The penalty shootout in football is the essence of performing under pressure. I spent 5 years of my life studying the Psychology of this event. Here's what I learned, which can also help understanding it in the current Euros/Copa America. Thread based on 10 of our studies. (1/13)

This is ideal for coaches during pre season 👇 Take a look!
