If you are serious about integrating force plates and timing gates into one coherent workflow, Strength By Numbers provides a connected solution through the AxIT performance platform.

Skilled movement does not emerge from isolated positions or bio-mechanical landmarks and checkpoints. It is likely the product of temporally organized patterns that the human system naturally stabilizes. Thus, rhythm can be defined as a key feature of skilled human movement and modern coaching practices.

In recent years, hamstring tantrums (also referred to as Swiss‑ball kicks or flutter kicks) have gained popularity, largely supported by EMG studies reporting high levels of hamstring activation during the exercise, and viral trending videos on social media. However, what's important to understand is that muscle activation alone is a poor criterion for judging the usefulness of an exercise.

For decades, the fields of sports science and medicine have operated under a reductionist paradigm. We've often viewed the human body as a collection of parts. However, a growing body of evidence and a shift toward dynamical systems theory suggest that this perspective may be incomplete. This article explores the concept of movement systems, how movement patterns emerge through the interaction of complex constraints, and why "movement solutions" are more important than "ideal

Isometric training is often discussed as a single method, but this framing obscures the critical distinctions between how isometric force is produced and why those distinctions matter for performance, durability, and health. This article outlines the rationale for progressing isometric training through Isometric Strength Endurance using Pushing Isometric Muscle Actions (PIMA) at longer contraction durations (45 seconds) and maximum descending intensity across the whole body.

Foot strengthening exercises are inexpensive, easy to perform, and result in significantly better outcomes.

Dashr gives you the ability to test speed, agility, power, reaction, and more—quickly and accurately—without complicated setups or recurring subscription fees. You can capture results instantly on your phone, give athletes immediate feedback, and still have everything synced for long-term tracking and reporting when you want it.

Current evidence suggests that the hamstrings function primarily as an eccentric energy-absorbing brake during the late-swing phase, necessary to decelerate the lower limb and manage loads that exceed isometric capacity. However, the presence of long tendons and specific architectures in muscles like the BFlh ensures that tendon contributions and spring-like behavior are also vital. The issue of hamstring behavior remains complex and multifactorial.

The purpose of this blog post is to provide a brief summary and overview of the role of isometric and plyometric training in the development of musculotendinous stiffness for performance in various sports related action.

Most athletes don’t struggle because they lack effort. They train hard, often in demanding environments that introduce fatigue, complexity, and variability by design. Those demands are part of sport. Yet the injuries that interrupt seasons—and the performance plateaus that quietly precede them—tend to appear long before competition intensity peaks.

When it comes to locomotion, very few structures can be defined as fundamental in carrying over the responsibility of efficient performance as the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot.

Around summer 2025, Hyperice has released (in partnership with Nike) a brand-new device called the Hyperboot. This brand-new piece of equipment is basically the re-proposal of two of their patented technologies, i.e. Normatec Sequential Pulse and HyperHeat (already present on devices such as the Hyperice Venom 2), into a pair of hyper-futuristic shoes.
