Sprint mechanics📊 If all courts, fields & tracks had force plates & 3D📽providing force, velocity, kinematics etc easily, ALL coaches, physios, scientists would use such data (propulsive force magnitude, orientation...)✅ Even those who now claim it's useless, for sure.



🚨NEW PAPER🚨 The @exergenie pulley for resisted sprint🏃♂️, calibration, comparison with sled modality @SportPerfSciR sportperfsci.com/the-exer-genie… Extends previous blog post, with downloadable files📊 🔗 jbmorin.net/2022/08/03/spr… Congrats to Nayel Constant, nice Masters work 🧑🏻💻🧑🏻🎓

Clearly, using an absolute load (e.g., a 100-kg squat) or a body-mass-relative load (e.g., 150% body mass) for two individuals is an imprecise way to set the load. The same is true for resisted sprint training. jbmorin.net/2025/07/21/the… via @jb_morin
