We integrated James Wild’s quadrant research with our pain & soreness data plus training load spikes (volume, intensity, density ≥2 z-scores). Like James found, each signature had different pain/soreness patterns & risk profiles—and each was sensitive to different load components. Check out his research: @wildy_jj https://t.co/CkpIiqSJqv

REMINDER: Your eccentric training might be too slow and too light.

(yes I’m talking to you if the extent of eccentric work is tempo)

It’s early offseason for a lot of athletes. After healing, this is one of the best windows use real eccentric training.

Train shocks & springs!

In this week's newsletter I explore Accentuated Eccentric Loading, providing loading tables, figures, and block-by-block programming guidance

• Short ground contact times
• High approach + exit speed
• Strong braking AND re-acceleration forces
• Lower center of mass (play low = move fast)

“This research is a ‘wake-up call’ for rehab specialists. High EMG amplitude does not necessarily equal high mechanical tension. The split squat and single-leg RDL may be more effective for gluteal strengthening than high-EMG "isolation" exercises”

[Ken Vick @CoachKenVick]

In max v skating, “eccentric” isn’t a countermove and it isn’t reactive.

It’s micro-ECC control: quads + posterior chain managing posture as force ramps.

Then long Quasi-ISO phase.

Then a big late lateral push.

Different rules.
Watch more sports, change your perspective.

🚨 BRAKING step forces in a 505 change of direction test (high speed deceleration)

Here we show data on ALL braking steps…

🔎 Brake Step 1
🔎 Brake Step 2
🔎 Brake Step 3
🔎 APBS
🔎 PBS
🔎 FFC

Forces highest in early braking steps!!

Lots of eccentrics actions on a jump serve!

We focus on jump ht & hitting velo (outputs)

But they are possible because of the eccentric inputs

Countermove to jump
Windup to hit

And it requires handling the decel and landing for durability.

Train your eccentrics better!

PSA: If you want to help more athletes and be a better practitioners learn this👇🏼

Load
Force
Impulse
Momentum

Actually knowing the differences matters in performance and rehab.

Muscular contraction

Contractile element vs Elastic elements

[Riccardo Rambo @RiccardoRambo]

@JeremyFrisch Hopping ability = jump ability = jump training = plyometrics. It is not complicated like social media insists to do it.

[Eamonn Flanagan @EamonnFlanagan]

Concentric impulse is the key determinant of jump height (via take off velocity).

So why does eccentric rate of force development or eccentric impulse matter?
