2/ Velocity-based training is a method of training explosive force production that involves using real-time feedback on movement velocity
The training load can be quickly & objectively adjusted to achieve the desired movement velocity

3/ Velocity is typically measured by accelerometers, linear displacement transducers, or with a high-speed filming set up.

1/ How to attenuate #DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness) - a potential barrier to exercise.

2/ DOMS is one of the consequences of exercise-induced muscle damage.
Eccentric (lengthening) ‘contractions’ can cause microtrauma to the musculature; shown as pockets of damage to the weakest contractile units (sarcomeres).
(Other changes also observed….)

3/ In those unfamiliar with high-intensity exercise, DOMS can be counterproductive to exercise adherence.
It can also be mistakenly interpreted for MSK injury 😕
It’s an unpleasant sensation & it gets worse following cessation of exercise 😖
DOMS peaks 1-2 days post exercise… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

New meta-analysis says 1.5 g/kg protein is enough to maximize strength development
One of my first articles was about the myth of 1 gram protein per pound of bodyweight. I argued 0.82 g/lb was more than enough to optimize our gains based on the research, in contrast to virtually every other source in fitness at the time.
This article stood the test of time extremely well. In 2017, I participated in a meta-analysis of the literature that found 1.6 g/kg/d was the break-off point of further benefits in gains.
80% of S&C programmes can be the same.
Human anatomy is the same, all athletes have muscles

Analyse the needs of the sport:
What competition level- Amateur/professional?
What are the key movement patterns of the sport- sprinting, lateral shuffling, jumping?
What are the speeds of movement? Total distances? % Time spent in activity?
What are common injuries?

Athletes needs:
What’s their position?
What’s their strengths and weaknesses-speed, power, strength, mobility ?
What’s their injury history, body mass, body fat ?

So @aaron_s_fox jumped the gate on me :) w/ a thread on the #ACL #injury & #AFLW #sport #womanprobs conversation & he did a great job but I'd like my perspective to come in that special 'tone' I may be known for in presentations... My first twitter thread! Expect sarcasm and gifs
1st, I posted my perspective on #injury #women #athlete #development #biomechanics in another tweet, if you missed it, short editorial: bit.ly/3a5Al1x & presentation bit.ly/32hbogF Read those after this thread of fun, I hope the GIFs help you "hear" my tone :)
I’ve seen a bit about #ACL #injury and #menstrualcycles including news stories about organisations ready to study the menstrual cycle and #training - Let me give you some basic information to help you #factcheck before you start #cheering or #praising
