Concentric strength is pivotal for athletic performance due to several key reasons: In the captivating and dynamic realm of sports performance and injury prevention, we delve into a domain where science, technique, and passion for sports converge. Within this vast universe, three concepts emerge as fundamental pillars: concentric, eccentric, and reactive stimuli. These capacities are […]
In the realm of sports performance, few moments are as pivotal as the initial step towards acceleration. This fleeting instant, where the athlete propels forward with strength and determination, sets the tone for the entire race. Here, we delve into the significance of force application, explosive concentric strength, and ankle rigidity at this critical juncture, […]
Introducción:En el fútbol moderno, la agilidad es una habilidad fundamental que puede marcar la diferencia entre el éxito y el fracaso en el campo de juego. La capacidad de cambiar de dirección rápida y eficientemente, especialmente durante la desaceleración con cambio de dirección, es crucial para los jugadores en todas las posiciones. En este artículo, […]
Unveiling the Power of Motor Learning-Based Training In the vast domain of physical training, an enigma arises that has intrigued athletes, coaches, and scientists alike: how can we maximize the effectiveness of our workouts to reach our maximum physical potential? In this journey towards a deeper understanding of strength and movement, we delve into the […]
Importance of Proper Acceleration Technique In the realm of sports, the ability to accelerate efficiently and swiftly marks the difference between success and mediocrity. An athlete’s initial steps are crucial for gaining momentum and reaching their maximum speed. Therefore, the proper application of force in acceleration, along with correct technique, are fundamental aspects that not […]
La Tríada Esencial de Estímulos para el Rendimiento y la Prevención de Lesiones En el fascinante mundo del rendimiento deportivo y la prevención de lesiones, tres términos emergen como pilares fundamentales: estímulos concéntricos, excéntricos y reactivos. Estas capacidades no solo son clave para desatar el máximo potencial atlético, sino también para salvaguardar al deportista contra […]
Mastering Acceleration and Deceleration The ability to accelerate and decelerate is crucial for athletic performance. These dynamic movements involve a complex interaction between the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. During acceleration, the body generates explosive force to overcome inertial resistance and reach the desired speed. On the other hand, deceleration involves braking movement […]
In the realm of strength training and physical fitness, drop jumps and their variations play a crucial role. These exercises focus on the eccentric phase of the jump, where muscles elongate under load before an explosive contraction. Evolving with technology, they now benefit from real-time monitoring of muscle and tendon behavior. Optimizing Muscle Efficiency Studies […]
Recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury requiresa careful focus on eccentric strength and tendon stiffness. These aspects arevital for restoring knee stability and preventing future injuries. Loss ofeccentric strength during injury can lead to muscle inhibition and atrophy,affecting stabilization capacity during activities like deceleration andlanding. Conversely, tendon stiffness, the resistance of tendon tissue […]
Preventing injuries and enhancing performance are crucial aspects for athletes aiming to excel in their sport. Two of the most common and concerning injuries are muscle injuries, especially in the hamstrings, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Effectively addressing the prevention of these injuries involves understanding anatomy, the mechanisms involved, and designing specific training strategies. […]
