Dryland strength training for swimmers From @PaulTalty sportsmith.co/articles/dryla…
Key regressions when "plyometric technique" is not quite where you want it to be: 🔁 Reduce intent of effort (relaxed movement quality) 🔁 Regress exercise selection (bounds ➡️ skips) 🔁 Emphasize vertical effort v horizontal 🔁 Return to foundational / extensive work
Strength matters. . . . (Especially >100ms)
In this study, we examine the relationship between explosive and maximal strength, and find that maximal strength significantly determines how quickly these athletes are able to produce force mdpi.com/2075-4663/13/7… @HPCvaxjo @linneuni

Bronze for Fintan McCarthy and Konan Pazzaia in the men's double sculls at the World Cup regatta in Lucerne! The Irish double led all the way until the end when Serbia and New Zealand came through. Brilliant finish. Fifth place for Paul O'Donovan and Daire Lynch.
Fiona Murtagh has come second in the Women’s Single securing a silver medal! Well done Fiona 💪 #wearerowingireland #greenblades #WRCLucerne

If you are an early career sport science or S&C practitioner in Ireland (or Irish abroad) I would highly recommend catching this session. ISESA really doing great work trying for alignment and credentialization of sport science in Ireland.
💻 See you at lunchtime tomorrow! We’re delighted to welcome everyone who’s registered for our webinar with Prof Kate Pumpa at 12 PM. 💭 Still thinking about joining? It’s not too late, register here: isesa.ie/webinars
Chris consistently puts out some of the most insightful info to advance understanding of strength training
Comparing the effects of concentric-only and eccentric-only training is a very informative process for understanding how muscle physiology works. Read more in the weekly (free) article on Patreon.
