La posición Trendelenburg es un término que se utiliza en el ámbito del rendimiento deportivo y la rehabilitación para describir una alteración en la postura y el patrón de movimiento en la cual la pelvis se desplaza hacia un lado durante la marcha o al realizar determinados movimientos. Esta posición anómala puede tener diversas causas […]
Strength training is one of the most effective ways to improve physical performance, and its effects are not limited to muscle mass increase. One of the most interesting aspects of strength training is how the neuromuscular system adapts to these stimuli, enhancing the ability to generate force more efficiently. In this article, we will explore […]
Evaluation of Cushioning and Propulsion: A Comprehensive Approach for Physical Trainers and Physiotherapists In the field of sports performance, the evaluation of cushioning and propulsion is essential for enhancing athletic ability and ensuring injury prevention. These two mechanisms are critical for improving movement quality and minimizing the risk of injuries, especially in high-impact sports. Efficient […]

En este artículo exploramos las conclusiones de una revisión sistemática […]
The Importance of Reactive Strength in Dispersing Mechanical Load on the Hamstrings During Sprinting
Introduction Sprinting is one of the most explosive and demanding forms of human movement. During the maximal velocity phase, the hamstrings play a crucial role in propulsion, stabilization, and force absorption. However, the hamstrings are also highly susceptible to injury due to the extreme mechanical loads they endure. This is where reactive strength becomes a […]
Introduction Performance in sprinting events is influenced by multiple biomechanical and physiological factors. One of the most critical elements is reactive strength, which plays a fundamental role in reducing ground contact time during sprint phases. The ability to apply high magnitudes of force in an extremely short period is a defining characteristic of elite sprinters. […]
Hi coaches . Today, we’re diving into an essential topic for the physical development of children and adolescents: how plyometric training can improve bone density during growth stages. We know that childhood and adolescence are critical periods for developing strong, resilient bones, laying the foundation for lifelong skeletal health. In this article, we’ll explore the […]
Hi coaches . Today, we’re diving into an exciting topic that sparks a lot of interest (and sometimes doubt): plyometric training for children and young athletes. Is it safe for kids to perform explosive exercises? Can this type of training improve their sports performance? What are the best practices to ensure it’s done correctly and […]
Hola Profes,Hoy quiero profundizar en un concepto clave de la biomecánica que puede marcar la diferencia en el rendimiento deportivo: el retraso electromecánico (EMD, por sus siglas en inglés). Este término describe el breve lapso entre la activación de un músculo (a través de señales nerviosas) y el momento en que comienza a generar fuerza. […]
In the field of physical training and physiotherapy, one of the crucial topics that often arises is the measurement of force in athletes. However, one of the most relevant questions for trainers and physiotherapists is: how quickly can these athletes generate force? This is where the concept of Rate of Force Development (RFD) comes into […]
Hamstring injuries are one of the most common issues in sports, affecting athletes from various disciplines such as football, athletics, and rugby. These injuries not only come with high economic and personal costs for the athletes, but they also severely impact performance. One of the main factors contributing to these injuries is the imbalance of […]
