Loved the sprint training discussions and working with James Wild Stuart McMillan and Neil Bezodis on a chapter in this new book 👇

Cool to see this book in the flesh Chris Bishop! Looks like a great textbook. Here are some of the figures created for the chapter written by me Helen Bayne Stuart McMillan and Neil Bezodis for anyone interested

Pretty incredible ~80 hours in Boston ⚾️🌭 Red Sox ✅ 🏀🍕 Celtics ✅ 🏃‍♂️🦄 Marathon ✅ 🇺🇸🍺 Touristing (non-sport-related) ✅ 🤩👌

So good to be on the right side of this 90th minute view for once… 😍🦅🔴🔵

This is brilliant…anyone who has ever watched rugby with me will know that poor kicking to touch is a frequent peeve of mine…some excellent data to back up its importance here… 🤓

😮😃🥹🦅🔴🔵😍

The third and final paper from Byron Donaldson’s PhD was recently published. He investigated coordination patterns in highly trained to world class sprinters during initial acceleration, drawing on dynamical systems theory, and explored the implications for sprint performance.

There’s quite a lot going on in this paper and the two subsequent studies, so I wrote this blog article to summarise the methodology and highlight the main findings. 💡Elite sprinters ➡️ kinematics ➡️ vector coding ➡️ coordination analysis 🔗 helenbayne.com/post/coordinat…

🆕 BLOG POST 🆕 We clustered the thigh-thigh and shank-foot coordination strategies of sprinters during initial acceleration and found a set of features associated with the best performers, and variations that might be effective for some individuals. ➡️ helenbayne.com/post/coordinat…
