External forces when DECELERATING can be huge compared to ACCELERATING❗️ What about comparison of internal joint forces ❓ DECELERATION (~5m Reactive) = 📌Hip Extensor = 164% Greater 📌Knee Extensor = 39% Greater ACCELERATION = 📌 Ankle Plantar Flexor = 63% Greater

The lack of good models for human tendons has made it tough to develop injury treatments. Now, scientists (Mahwish Bakht 3B's Research Group) built a 3D tendon-on-chip that mimics how tendons work at a cellular level, paving the way for better therapies. 👉ow.ly/EONq50TnS6L

SPRINT RSI! I bet this improves your coaching eye! Questions I am asking about my programs during running rehab. Do our improvement in “switching” transfer to better sprinting? Can I measure that? Do our improvement in strength/power increase PROJECTION (rebound height

Thanks to SportsMAP for the opportunity! So much great resource on the site….

The gastrocnemius has greater capacity to contribute to plantar-flexion when the muscle is lengthened (both at the knee and also at the ankle). This suggests that lengthened partials will be useful for this muscle in accordance with the principle of neuromechanical matching.
