Reconditioning should have the same intent as training: a specific stimulus, emphasis, and coaching decisions

@AndersBraastad of @Glimt walks us through a simple drill with motorized resistance. A few steps in and out with eccentric overload to create a deceleration emphasis and more tissue stress

That’s the point of having complete control over the loading: you can match the stimulus to your coaching “why”

From there, the other variables are yours like rest, volume, reps, loading, movement pattern

Because reconditioning doesn’t have to be a lower standard of training, just a different set of constraints to work within

Good luck in the second leg 👊🇳🇴⚽️

From a city of just 43,000, @Glimt continues to compete on the biggest stage of soccer, most recently at home with a win against Inter Milan in the Champions League knockout rounds. We’re proud to support a club that keeps pushing the standard while representing Norwegian football at the highest level

And a shoutout the Performance Staff for continuing to evolve, refine, and do what’s best for their athletes

🔎 Brake Step 3
🔎 APBS
🔎 PBS
🔎 FFC

Forces highest in early braking steps!!

The most important rule in training is also the least dramatic: be consistent.

It doesn’t sell books or rack up likes.

But it’s the one thing that makes everything else possible.

[1080 Motion @1080motion]

Injury ➡️ Rehab ➡️ Reflections

@AndersBraastad of @Glimt takes us through 4 return-to-play case studies (hamstring, adductor, quad, and return from external rehab) sharing how they used motorized resistance to create the exact stimulus each athlete needed all on the 1080 Sprint 2:
-Isokinetic force testing
-Heavy and light resisted sprints
-Assisted sprints with variable loading
-Lateral change-of-direction with a run-in-shuffle-out

Every exercise was measured. Every decision had context. Both quantitatively and qualitatively. Each case study was shared in an "injury, what we did, reflections" format. Real, applied, and ready for high-performance environments

Return-to-play in the Champions League ⚽

Join us for a live conversation with @AndersBraastad (Physiotherapist for @Glimt) as he shares how they use motorized resistance technology in their rehabilitation and return-to-play process

With real examples and visuals from their Champions League environment, this session will cover practical strategies for managing lower extremity injuries and guiding athletes back to sport

While grounded in elite soccer, these insights apply across all sports and settings, making it perfect for anyone working in rehab/RTP or high-performance environments

📈 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

Key moments like touchdown (TD) and take-off (TO) are marked, showing how force production shifts based on the task📋

👣 The differences in force profiles highlight the unique physical demands of deceleration vs acceleration, and why targeted training is essential.

🚨 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 joints and muscles
➡️ Striped arrows = external ground reaction forces (GRF)
➡️ Solid arrows = joint contact forces
➰ Curved arrows = joint moments

External forces when DECELERATING can be huge compared to ACCELERATING❗️

What about comparison of internal joint forces ❓

DECELERATION (~5m Reactive) =

📌Hip Extensor = 164% Greater
📌Knee Extensor = 39% Greater

ACCELERATION =

📌 Ankle Plantar Flexor = 63% Greater
