Understanding External Training Load Managing load in sports, especially in disciplines like football, is essential for optimizing athletes’ performance and preventing injuries. External load, comprising aspects such as total distance covered, accelerations and decelerations, high-intensity distance, sprint distance, and maximum speed, plays a fundamental role in this management. Components of External Load Management Controlling external load helps avoid overtraining and minimizes the risk of injuries while optimizing sports performance. Moreover, understanding these parameters allows coache ..read more

 Unleashing Strength: The Power of Drop Jumps In the realm of strength training and physical conditioning, drop jumps and their variants, such as the split squat and lateral squat, play a pivotal role. These exercises focus on the eccentric phase of the jump, where muscles lengthen under load before executing an explosive concentric contraction. Evolving alongside technological advancements, these movements now benefit from real-time monitoring of tendon and muscle behavior.   Optimizing Muscular Efficiency Studies have shown a predominance of isometric contraction at the muscular l ..read more

Injury prevention and performance enhancement are crucial aspects for athletes striving to excel in their sport. Two of the most common and concerning injuries are muscular injuries, especially in the hamstrings, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Effectively addressing the prevention of these injuries involves understanding anatomy, mechanisms involved, and designing specific training strategies. Strengthening Muscles and Improving Technique To prevent hamstring injuries, it’s essential to incorporate exercises that strengthen these muscles across various ranges of motion and wo ..read more

Introduction: Strength training based on motor learning focuses on preventing injuries and enhancing sports performance. By applying fundamental principles to optimize neuromuscular function and joint stability, this approach aims to improve athletic performance while reducing injury risk. This session discusses two key aspects: preventing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and integrating plyometrics into training. Hip Stability and Mobility for ACL Injury Prevention: Firstly, we highlight the importance of hip stability and mobility in preventing ACL injuries. Emphasis is placed on s ..read more

Introduction: Preventing injuries in sports is crucial to ensuring athletes’ health and optimal performance. In this context, two of the most common and concerning injuries are muscular injuries, especially in the hamstrings, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Effectively addressing the prevention of these injuries requires understanding the anatomy, function, and mechanisms involved, as well as designing specific training strategies. Strengthening Hamstrings: Let’s begin by analyzing the hamstrings, an essential muscle group for knee flexion and hip extension. These muscles play ..read more

Our founder Carlos Wheeler and some of his peers wrote this insightful article. It will help you understand why the Wheeler Jump is a reliable tool that provides accurate information regarding physical performance. Many coaches have used the vertical jump as an indicator of neuromuscular performance. A total of 119 high-performance athletes from different sports disciplines were selected in a non-probabilistic and convenient manner. Jump performance was evaluated through the CMJ in a training session. We compared Chronojump Boscosystem contact platform, the OptoGait photoelectric system, and t ..read more
