Thirty years ago, Dr. Stuart McGill revolutionized the understanding of spinal injury mechanics through videofluoroscopy studies, observing how joints behave during competitive lifts. One of his most significant findings was filming an injury caused by an instability event, known as “buckling.” Muscle Strength and Stiffness Muscle activation generates both strength and stiffness, where strength produces […]
Columna Vertebral y la Estabilidad del Núcleo Hola a todos, hoy quiero compartir con ustedes algunos conceptos fundamentales sobre la estabilidad de la columna vertebral y la estabilidad del núcleo, basados en las enseñanzas del Dr. Stuart McGill, uno de los principales expertos en biomecánica de la columna vertebral. Estas ideas son esenciales para entender […]
In the world of sports training, understanding how the human body moves is crucial for optimizing performance and preventing injuries. Today, I want to share some concepts about the importance of stability and variability in practice to develop efficient movement patterns. The Importance of Stability Stability in movements is the body’s ability to maintain control […]
En el mundo del entrenamiento deportivo, entender cómo se mueve el cuerpo humano es crucial para optimizar el rendimiento y prevenir lesiones. Hoy quiero compartir algunos conceptos y reflexiones sobre la importancia de considerar los intereses del cuerpo al entrenar, y cómo la estabilidad y la variabilidad en la práctica influyen en el desarrollo de […]
In the world of fitness, strength is not only measured by the ability to lift heavy weights but also by the ability to generate power and explosiveness. This type of training not only enhances athletic performance but also has functional benefits for daily life. Today, we will explore the concept of neuromuscular plasticity and how […]
In this article, I aim to address misconceptions regarding the mechanical characteristics of acceleration in sprinting. We will analyze concrete data based on measurements from force platforms, which are considered the gold standard in biomechanics. By comparing three different types of exercises, we can better understand how ground reaction forces affect acceleration and sprinting performance. […]
En el mundo del fitness, la fuerza no solo se mide por la capacidad de levantar grandes pesos, sino también por la capacidad de generar potencia y explosividad. Este tipo de entrenamiento no solo mejora el rendimiento deportivo, sino que también tiene beneficios funcionales para la vida diaria. Hoy, exploraremos el concepto de la plasticidad […]
The Importance of Motor Skill Acquisition In the area of sports training, understanding how motor skills are acquired and adapted is essential for developing effective programs that optimize athlete performance. In a recent interview with Frans Bosch, author of the influential book “The Anatomy of Agility,” key concepts that every coach should consider were discussed. […]
Understanding Tendon Extensibility Tendon extensibility is a fundamental capacity for our movement and susceptibility to injuries, especially in the context of sports performance. This property refers to the ability of the tendon to lengthen under tension, something crucial in explosive movements. A tendon rupture does not occur solely due to overstretching; it is an overstretching […]
Entrevista con Frans Bosch En el ámbito del entrenamiento deportivo, la comprensión de cómo se adquieren y adaptan las habilidades motoras es fundamental para desarrollar programas efectivos que optimicen el rendimiento de los atletas. En una reciente entrevista con Frans Bosch, autor del influyente libro “The Anatomy of Agility”, se abordaron conceptos esenciales que todo […]
