There is so much misunderstanding about the force-velocity relationship of muscle. This thread is an attempt to help.

TLDR: Muscle fibres impose a real constraint on movement, but the body has many ways to manage that constraint.

@josh_rwall I try to follow the principle of 'de-emphasising body image/shape focus' - not easy with so many cues around in environment and passing comments

[Andy Bruce @acbcoaching]

@RICH_AgilityLab Interesting thread. I haven't done one BUT, I think in S&C you'd choose as much for the staff/lecturers than you would module content or the organisation. Not true of all degrees. Think this bears out in the comments too.

🙋Had a few questions from parents regarding their child’s age and/or maturity.

❕Relative age has no influence in biological maturity.

❗️Maturity Status isn’t positive or negative.

❕Relative age Status isn’t positive or negative.

📌Example below of how they are separate

When talent doesn’t move well - a thread 🧵

@athlete_academy @DrChrisBishop @juliegooderick @UKSCA @gregmyer11 Y'all beat me to it! If it helps he was talking about woodpeckers ;-) I have some notes if you want them Julie - but I imagine the man himself will be far more useful!
