Drop jump neuromuscular performance qualities associated with horizontal DECELERATION…
🔑 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Players with greater DJ-RSI demonstrated superior DEC
✔️DJ-RSI seems particularly important for early DEC/braking steps
✔️ DJ 🟰 brake check proxy

Developing the qualities needed to DECELERATE & BRAKE rapidly🏈
What a great few days at the Elite Football Rehab Conference in Indianapolis 🇺🇸
⚡️Bonus: Got to watch the NFL combine, and learn from some great performance practitioners!!
Thanks to @erikMeira for the invite

🚨 BRAKING step forces in a 505 change of direction test (high speed deceleration)
Here we show data on ALL braking steps…
🔎 Brake Step 1
🔎 Brake Step 2
🔎 Brake Step 3
🔎 APBS
🔎 PBS
🔎 FFC
Forces highest in early braking steps!!

The biggest limiter of your speed is the ability of your BRAKES❗️
- Can I STOP❓🧠
- How much braking FORCE can I tolerate❓🧠

DECELERATION is a multi-step movement skill …
Each BRAKING step brings unique physiological biomechanical demands
🔴 Braking from lower speeds
🔴 Braking from higher speeds
🟰differing demands…

Hamstring injuries in multi-directional speed sports...not all SPRINT related❗️
⚽️ 31 % Braking Stopping
🏉 18% Decelerating
🔎 Trunk & hip flexion with knee extension
🟰High eccentric strain
Braking movements with high eccentric force could be tools in hamstring injury ⬇️

⚽Tactical evolutions predicted on models of high-intensity pressing = greater exposure to intense decels & braking forces
🔑 BRAKING PERFORMANCE CAPABILITIES
⬆️ Game specific speed
⬇️ Fatigue
⬇️ Injury-Risk
