Human Braking Performance

🆕 Just published… Maximum DECELERATION is related to players ability to repeat high-intensity decelerations in a match in @BarclaysWSL Aligns well with concept of DECELERATION reserve Fantastic collaboration led by @DavidMH_7 with @jmolivalozano and @PaulAJonesUoS 👇 #WSL

WHY TRAIN FOOTBALLERS TO BRAKE? ⚽️ Great to see this paper now published in @BiolSport ... DECELERATION & eccentric training for muscle damage PROTECTION & RECOVERY in football... Fantastic to collaborate with a great team @fsitraining_ @galiaaans @Fabio_sportsci @josasian

BLOG ➡️ Eccentric strength training for improving horizontal DECELERATION… ✔️ Eccentric strength is critical for enhancing horizontal deceleration ability. ✔️ The BRAKING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK provides a continuum of ECCENTRIC strength training methods. Develop the BRAKES❗️

Interesting NEW study investigating... BRAKING STEP forces during EARLY DECELERATION from different approach speeds (AS) 100% AS = Peak Forces 5.3 x BW 85% AS = Peak Forces 4.6 x BW 70% AS = Peak Forces 4.1 x BW 🔑 Technical Ability = ⬆️ EARLY DECELERATION #Braking #Forces

Great to see the proofs of our latest paper… Deceleration and eccentric training for muscle damage protection and recovery in football: A narrative review with practical applications ⚽️ How can we enhance resilience to intense braking actions? 🤔 Out soon in @BiolSport 👀

THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK ✔️ Provide practical recommendations and guidelines on how to enhance horizontal deceleration ability ⬆️ Braking Force Control ⬆️ Braking Force Attenuation #braking #deceleration #performance #resilience #sports humanbrakingperformance.com/…

Braking down horizontal DECELERATION ability… ✔️ Braking Force Control ✔️ Braking Force Attenuation ”An athlete will not speed up what they can’t slow down”❗️ ─ Improving horizontal DECELERATION ability is key for our athlete’s performance, health & wellbein Read more 👇

Drop jump neuromuscular performance qualities associated with horizontal DECELERATION… 🔑 Key Takeaways: ✔️ Players with greater DJ-RSI demonstrated superior DEC ✔️DJ-RSI seems particularly important for early DEC/braking steps ✔️ DJ 🟰 brake check proxy #deceleration

🚨 Just Published 🚨 DECELERATION specific isometric exercises acutely enhance change of direction performance in academy ⚽️ players ✔️ 8th min most pronounced gains & with early DEC-ISO position ✔️ Application to pre-training or competition warm-ups for COD sports 🏈⚽️ 🏀👇

🚨 Just published 🚨 Influence of max linear deceleration on lateral deceleration & shuffle performance in NCAA power 4 🏀 10 teams, 124 players 📌 10m ADA Test 📌 5-5 Lateral Shuffle Test ✔️ Max linear deceleration differentiated lateral decelerstion ➕ shuffle performance

🚨 Biomechanical & neuromuscular performance requirements of horizontal deceleration… 📌 High Impact Forces ⚡️ (2.7 x ⬆️ than acceleration) 📌 Braking for Rapid COD 🔑 📌 High Eccentric Muscle Forces 🟰 Risk of Damage 📌 Braking Kinematics 🦵 🔐 link.springer.com/article/10…

Developing the qualities needed to DECELERATE & BRAKE rapidly🏈 What a great few days at the Elite Football Rehab Conference in Indianapolis 🇺🇸 ⚡️Bonus: Got to watch the NFL combine, and learn from some great performance practitioners!! Thanks to @erikMeira for the invite

🚨 BRAKING step forces in a 505 change of direction test (high speed deceleration) Here we show data on ALL braking steps… 🔎 Brake Step 1 🔎 Brake Step 2 🔎 Brake Step 3 🔎 APBS 🔎 PBS 🔎 FFC Forces highest in early braking steps!! Read here: link.springer.com/article/10…

The biggest limiter of your speed is the ability of your BRAKES❗️ - Can I STOP❓🧠 - How much braking FORCE can I tolerate❓🧠

DECELERATION is a multi-step movement skill … Each BRAKING step brings unique physiological + biomechanical demands 🔴 Braking from lower speeds 🔴 Braking from higher speeds 🟰differing demands… #braking #performance #framework journal.iusca.org/index.php/…

Hamstring injuries in multi-directional speed sports...not all SPRINT related❗️ ⚽️ 31 % Braking Stopping 🏉 18% Decelerating 🔎 Trunk & hip flexion with knee extension 🟰High eccentric strain Braking movements with high eccentric force could be tools in hamstring injury ⬇️

🚨 Delighted to see our latest paper now published in @SportsMedicineJ … Assessing Deceleration Performance: Methodological & Practical Considerations Now numerous protocols & technologies that can assess this highly important movement skill … 🔐 rdcu.be/eR6fH
