Show Notes
- How force plates and the usage of even simple KINETICS can make a massive difference for daily training – and that was already known in the 90’s. They are more affordable nowadays so if you have a need for long-term lower body strength assessment and monitoring of training, you should consider it. BUT don’t think that they are some magic bullet!
- Contralateral side of an ACL injury can develop “weakness” after rehab of the injured side as well – there can be a 5% difference that does not sound a lot, but it is due to your NON-INJURED side getting weaker!
- You can now use INSOLES to measure in real-time ALL the biomechanical markers and forces during almost any activity. This allows you to not just test every now and again, or just pre-season, but to actually continuously monitor what your athletes are doing during their training. Endless possibilities here.
- You NEED to express yourself – but make sure it is a socially acceptable manner. Be kind and have courage!
