FORCE PLATE TESTING FOR ATHLETES : MEASURING PERFORMANCE AND PREVENTING INJUIRES
In sports science, numbers don’t lie and that’s the whole point of using force plates. They let us go much deeper than what the eye can see. Instead of guessing how well an athlete jumps, lands, absorbs force, or produces power, force plates tell us exactly what’s happening with every movement. When we understand what we’re testing, why we’re doing it, and how each test guides training, the data becomes far more meaningful than just “doing a jump test.” Force plates capture


THE IMPORTANCE OF ECCENTRIC TRAINING IN SPORT AND DAILY MOVEMENT
Strength training is often associated with producing force — lifting, pushing, and accelerating movement. In contrast, many of the most demanding moments in sport and daily life require the body to slow down , absorb load , and maintain control . These demands are met primarily through eccentric muscle actions , where muscles lengthen while under tension. Eccentric strength underpins the body’s ability to decelerate, stabilise joints, and tolerate high forces, particularly a


MAXIMUM AEROBIC SPEED : A PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE DRIVEN CONDITIONING METRIC
Imagine you're a soccer coach with 20 players on your team, all with different fitness levels and athletic backgrounds. Your goal is to improve their aerobic conditioning before the season starts, but you face a real challenge: how do you know what speed each player should run during training? Without a science-based framework, some players are working too easy and never adapting, while others are constantly hitting their limits and risk overtraining. The result? Inconsistent


ISOMETRICS AND ITS APPLICATION IN TRAINING AND REHAB
Introduction Isometric training involves muscle contractions that occur without any visible movement in the joints. Tension develops in the muscles, but the limb stays completely static. This approach differs from concentric or eccentric actions. Isometrics centres on holding steady positions or applying force against something that cannot move. That particular aspect gives them a lot of flexibility in use. They help build strength, boost stability, and lessen the load on joi


HOW WEAREBLE TECH IS CHANGING THE WAY WE TRAIN
In the past, athletes relied on instinct, experience, and feedback from coaches to gauge their performance. Training programs depended on observation, stopwatch times, and personal assessments of effort. Today, wearable technology has changed how we measure, understand, and improve performance. From tracking heart rates to analysing movement patterns in real-time, wearable tech has turned training from an art into a precise science. The Data Revolution in Sports The greates


STRENGTH TRAINING IN LTAD : A FOUNDATION FOR LIFELONG PERFORMANCE
Strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders or elite athletes, it’s a pillar of Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD). Done right, it helps athletes move better, lowers the risk of injury, and supports performance at every stage of their journey. LTAD is a roadmap that guides athletes through age appropriate stages of growth and skill. Strength training weaves through each phase, building control, resilience, and functional capacity without interfering with natural growth. R
