Really good overview of repeat sprint training from @FraserThurlow and others. Great detail on: ✔️Nomenclature & terminology ✔️Energy system vs task specific conditioning ✔️Physiological demands ✔️1st rep vs last rep demands / characteristics ✔️Training volume guidance ...

What is “Integral Reactive Strength Index” (IRSI)? The IRSI is a recently emerging RSI variation used in drop jump assessments. It adjusts RSI to account for drop height used, possibly providing a more individualized & eccentric load-sensitive measure of reactive strength ...

Plyometric Coaching Checklist: From Head to Foot 📋 The head 📋 Torso & pelvis 📋 Knee position 📋 Ankle & foot (before ground contact) 📋 Foot (at ground contact) 📋 CoM over foot (in mid stance) ...

Do we really need to train to failure to optimise strength gains? (What the research says about training to failure vs. 1-3 reps in reserve for increasing maximal strength)...

Simple plyometric coaching progression: ✅ Low intensity skipping ✅ Vertical "power skips" ✅ Short bound ✅ Bounds or hops for distance Appropriate entry points for athletes of all levels....

A 4-phase approach to plyometric training. While the broad differentiation between extensive & intensive methods can be useful, a more granular approach is often needed Here's the 4-phase approach for plyometric training I use 🧵...

Can we assess Reactive Strength Index in horizontal bounding or hopping? Should we? Is it associated with sprint performance? New research from @sharp_ant says yes.... ...
