Thanks for sharing Eamonn. Glad you’re still finding it helpful 💪.
Strength matters. Stronger athletes respond quicker & more specifically to ballistic & jump training. BUT: Without continued heavy strength work, the decay of force-producing capabilities likely limited improvements after 5 weeks.

Awesome work Dr @mcgeneau on publishing this review (alongside two other studies so far) from her outstanding PhD thesis. It builds on our previous article in SCJ by undertaking an even more systematic and comprehensive dive into the topic.

Thanks mate. The terminology can get a bit confusing. I think the key is to know what strength domains exist, regardless of what you call them. And have an idea of what tests, measures and training tasks reflect them.
@timkettenring In the strength development sphere I think this recent paper from @DocLachJames has done much to align terminology (and builds really well on previous work) 👇.

If you're an S&C/sport scientist, my PhD student @Luke_jStevens is looking to get your thoughts on strength-power testing practices by way of this online survey. Be part of the change you wish to see in the strength-power world (Gandhi) 👇.
If you haven’t had the chance yet, we’re still looking for S&C coaches to share their insights on strength and power assessment practices. Thank you to everyone who has already participated!. Survey link: @DocLachJames @david_carey1.
