Hello coaches, Let’s talk about an exciting concept that bridges biology, biomechanics, and training: biotensegrity. This innovative framework gives us a new way to understand how the body moves, transfers forces, and maintains structural integrity. When combined with plyometric training, it opens up incredible opportunities to develop explosive power, prevent injuries, and improve overall athletic […]
Hello Coaches, Today, I want to share an innovative approach to understanding transfer in sports training, based on the insights of biomechanics and training expert Frans Bosch. Bosch redefines how we think about the impact of exercises on performance, integrating physical, technical, cognitive, and contextual factors. If you’ve ever wondered why certain exercises don’t seem […]
Hello Coaches, Today, let’s explore a game-changing concept for designing training programs: specificity from the perspective of the Dynamic Systems Theory (DST). While specificity is a cornerstone of sports training, DST adds a deeper, more nuanced understanding that directly impacts athlete performance. Here’s a breakdown of this innovative approach, how it diverges from traditional methods, […]

Hello coaches, Today, let’s dive into a fascinating and often overlooked topic in the fitness world: fascia. This connective tissue has gained significant attention in recent years—and for good reason. Its impact on performance, mobility, and injury prevention is enormous. In this article, we’ll explore what fascia is, how it influences movement, and how we […]
Today, neurosciences play a fundamental role in sports performance. Understanding how the brain works and how it connects with the body is key to helping athletes reach their full potential. In this article, we will explore how advancements in brain studies and their interactions with the body can assist physical trainers and physiotherapists in improving […]
Neuroscience applied to sports has emerged as a key field for improving athletic performance, optimizing recovery, and understanding how the mind influences the body during sports practice. While physical training has long been the primary focus in athlete preparation, it is now recognized that the brain plays a crucial role in every action, from decision-making […]
Tendons play a fundamental role in athletic performance, especially in activities that require speed, jumping, and explosiveness. However, for many trainers and physiotherapists, the focus on tendon training and its importance in injury prevention is not always clear. In this conversation with Keith Baar, a researcher specializing in muscle and connective tissue physiology, we explore […]
As we age, maintaining an active lifestyle and good nutrition not only helps us live longer but also improves our quality of life. Over the years, numerous studies have examined the benefits of a proper combination of exercise and nutrition for the human body, highlighting the importance of strengthening muscles, tendons, and ligaments to prevent […]
Soccer, as a high-intensity sport with complex physical demands, is associated with a high injury incidence. Conditioning and injury prevention programs are crucial for optimizing performance and reducing risks for high-level players. This article reviews the most important elements that should be included in such a program, highlighting methods supported by recent research. The Importance […]
