Concentric training   I have asked previously, what is the significance of the concentric force-velocity relationship? What sports are predominantly concentric? Well, some sports that come to mind are cycling, rowing, kayaking and swimming, where there is very little storage and utilization of elastic energy. In these sports your concentric strength and concentric training would seem more specific than other forms of training. So, what training could be a great option to focus on concentric strength development? Well one such option would be pneumatics or air resistance. Remember from a previous post, pneumatic resistance has less inertia and momentum than free weight resistance, which in turn will affect the force/acceleration, velocity, and power profiles when training athletes i.e., more of a concentric emphasis.    Another option is pause training, where you hold or unload at the bottom of the eccentric phase for 3-4 seconds, which has a similar emphasis on contractile contribution and concentric strength by reducing the contribution of elastic energy. If you want more ideas how to train concentric strength and much more, head to our online course unpacking eccentric, concentrics and isometrics.

Active Recovery Week 🗣️ I normally recommend an active recovery week to my clients and athletes after each 12 -16 weeks of training. 1️⃣ Option 1 During this week get out of the gym and complete other activities you enjoy for a mental break (basketball, yoga, swimming, golf, etc.,). 2️⃣ Option 2 Go to the gym but reduce training volumet and frequency. During that week you don’t continue on with your current periodization or start into a new training phase. Instead you use this week to complete some very low intensity strength training work. Here are some general guidelines to follow: 💥Favour dumbbells and machines vs Bilateral BB exercices (ex: Deadlift, Squat, Bench Press…) 💥Keep the number of repetitions high, generally in the 12-20 range 💥Favour unilateral work 💥Only complete 2-3 sets per exercise 💥Don’t take ANY sets to failure 💥Perform a full body training session 💥Have Fun and incorporate machine or exercise that you normally don’t have or use in your yearly training plan. ______ 🏋️ Axxeleration© performance center based in Châteauguay- link in profile 🐤Twitter - S_lagrange 🖥Email:Sebastien@axxeleration.com FB👨🏻💻 - Axxeleration 📺Youtube - Axxeleration ______

In the quest for peak athletic performance, maintaining variety and adaptability in training is crucial. Undulating periodization, with its frequent variations in training intensity and volume, offers a dynamic alternative to traditional training methods. Let’s dive into this versatile approach and explore how it can enhance athletic performance. #sportsTraining #sportsPerformance #sportsCoaching #periodization https://lnkd.in/dNgduZYd

⚡️Build Lower Body Transverse Plane Strength In the running and endurance world, athletes spend the majority of their time competing in the sagittal plane of movement (i.e., linear, forward, reverse, etc.). However, these very same athletes also take on a lot of volume and mileage in their lower body. I'm a firm believer in using the Strength & Conditioning program to train the "qualities" that the athlete isn't exposed to enough on a consistent basis and/or isn't proficient in yet. In other words, it's important for runners and endurance athletes to get out of the sagittal plane and into other planes of movement like the transverse plane (i.e., rotational and twisting motions). This helps to prepare and physically strengthen the hips, knees and ankles to remain durable and healthy throughout the high volume and mileage. Enter: the Curtsy Squat and the Curtsy Lunge. Start out with the stationary/easier option (Curtsy Squat) - and then - advance into the dynamic/harder option (Curtsy Lunge). 🚀Interested in receiving Strength & Conditioning mentorship and education directly from me on topics just like this to ultimately become a world-class S&C Coach?

Improve your athleticism with a comprehensive training regimen that focuses on maximum performance. * Strengthening in many positions ensures that you are adaptive and powerful over a wide range of movement patterns, rather than simply one. * Dynamic strength training improves your ability to generate force rapidly, which is necessary for explosive movements in sports. By following these principles, you’re not just training; you’re shaping yourself into the ultimate athlete. Being jacked and athletic is possible, you just have to train for it. #AthleticPerformance #ExerciseScience #StrengthTraining #RangeOfMotion #Plyometrics #SpeedTraining #Agility #InjuryPrevention #DynamicStrength #PowerTraining #FitnessTips #WorkoutRoutine #TrainingRegimen #SportScience #AthleteAdvice

"Q & A" OF THE DAY How Should We Breathe When Strength Training? QUESTION: What is the proper way to breathe when I am strength training? ANSWER: This is very simple and important, as you don't want to hold your breath when training. The simple formula is easy to remember and easy to explain to a client. Just Remember: EXHALE at the EXERTION. And Inhale during the easy phase of the exercise or the negative phase.

🏃♀️🏃♂️ 5 THINGS RUNNERS NEED TO KNOW! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ 4. Strength Training Is Your Secret Weapon Running isn't just about the legs. Incorporating strength training into your routine can boost your running performance and prevent injuries. Strong core muscles provide stability, while strong glutes and hips improve your running efficiency. Include exercises like squats, lunges, bridges, and planks to target key muscle groups. A physical therapist can design a strength training program tailored to your running goals and needs.

Stretching < Long Range Strength Training Look to make your stretching more like strength training. Keeping constant tension with a steady tempo will lead to far more change in the tissue and range. Passively yanking on these stretches lead to plateau and sensitivity in the joints for me. Making it active was huge to keep progressing. Just something to think about.
