Benefits of Flywheel and Eccentric Training After ACL Surgery Introduction ACL injuries are common and often career-threatening, especially in female athletes. Once surgery is done, the real challenge begins: regaining performance. Recent approaches now include flywheel training, known for its role in developing eccentric strength, balance, and reactive control—critical elements in post-ACL rehabilitation. In this […]
Tendon Stiffness and Jump Performance: Practical Applications for Strength and Conditioning Coaches INTRODUCTION In high-performance sports, explosive actions such as vertical jumps are central to athletic success. Whether it’s a volleyball spike, a basketball dunk, or a sprint start, the ability to rapidly generate force is key. To truly measure and train this ability, tools […]
Jump Training Programming Based on Tendon Elasticity: Toward Personalized Performance INTRODUCTION For years, strength and conditioning coaches have placed athletes into simple categories—strong or fast, powerful or enduring. But as flywheel training and eccentric movement strategies gain traction in elite sports, a new physiological variable is taking center stage: tendon stiffness. Thanks to foundational studies […]
Hello Coaches, Flywheel training is not only a powerful tool for strengthening muscles but also a game-changer for improving sports performance. Whether your athletes need to accelerate faster, change direction explosively, or maximize their top speed, flywheel exercises provide unique eccentric overload adaptations that traditional methods often lack. This flywheel training equipment allows athletes to […]
Hello Coaches, The flywheel leg curl is one of the most effective flywheel exercises for targeting the hamstrings, especially the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles. Beyond its role in strengthening these key muscle groups, this flywheel training method promotes unique adaptations that are critical for injury prevention and sports performance. Using an eccentric flywheel mechanism, […]
Flywheel vs. Nordic Hamstring Curl: Which is Better for Hamstring Strength and Injury Prevention? Hello Coaches, Today, we’ll explore two key methods for hamstring strength training and injury prevention: flywheel training and the Nordic Hamstring Curl (NHC). Both focus on eccentric strength, but in different ways. Flywheel workout machines use inertia-based resistance for adaptive eccentric […]
Flywheel Training- The Key to Stronger Hamstrings and Injury Prevention in Athletes Hello Coaches, Flywheel training, also known as flywheel resistance training or inertia flywheel, is transforming the way athletes enhance performance and prevent injuries. By leveraging eccentric flywheel exercises and flywheel workout machines, this innovative method strengthens the hamstrings and improves eccentric movement, making […]
Hello Coaches, Flywheel training is one of the most effective methods for building strength, improving performance, and preventing injuries. However, as with any powerful tool, improper use of flywheel machines or flywheel workout machines can lead to reduced effectiveness or even injuries. To ensure your athletes get the most out of their flywheel resistance training […]
Hello Coaches, Rehabilitation is a critical phase for athletes recovering from injuries, as it determines how quickly and safely they can return to their sport. Flywheel training has emerged as a versatile and effective tool for rehabilitation, offering customizable resistance through flywheels and pulleys to target specific muscle groups. This flywheel workout machine not only […]
Hello Coaches, Hamstring injuries are a persistent challenge in sports that require high-speed running, sudden stops, and quick direction changes. These injuries not only take athletes off the field but also pose a high risk of recurrence. Flywheel training, using advanced flywheel machines like the Wheeler Jump, has emerged as a powerful method to prevent […]
