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 […]
Electromechanical Delay According to Frans Bosch: Understanding and Training for Optimal Performance
Hello Coaches, Today, let’s dive into an important concept in biomechanics that can impact athletic performance: electromechanical delay (EMD). This refers to the brief period between when a muscle is activated (via neural signals) and when it starts generating force. Frans Bosch, a leading figure in sports biomechanics, offers unique insights into this phenomenon and […]
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 […]
