#jumpmat

Continuing to learn through application and integration. While these assessments are tedious they offer so much for interpretation. Forever a student of the science. Taking max jump height and @moxymonitor testing for @brutalbostwick measuring explosive power and bioenergetic rate limiters for in camp preparations! 👊🏼 Today using the #jumpmat I first took 3 readings for both bilateral and unilateral CMJ/NCMJ. Two reasons for this particular test set baseline readings for future fatigue management strategies. Second was to define the needs of the athlete based off of differences of countermovement (with arm swing) and non countermovement (with arm swing) jumps. Ideally we want a 20% increase in height from CMJ over NCMJ in this case it was very minimal meaning less time will be spent in max strength efforts and more on reactive strength and SSC (stretch shortening cycle). This in turn will provide elastic qualities of the soft tissue and improved neuromuscular efficiency along with motor unit firing to be increased leading to higher levels of explosive power. Moving on to NIRS testing the THB (total hemoglobin) and SmO2 (muscle oxygen saturation) in real time on both legs. Since Jake has a slight case of patellar tendinitis I wanted to see if there were going to be changes in utilization and delivery of O2. Used a simple ramp up while finishing with 3 max effort 30 seconds desaturation sprints. Looking at trends and recoverability in both THB and HR responses upon rest intervals. This can give me an understanding where his limiter and compensators are at the moment. We want this info to provide a blueprint to streamline conditioning protocols for both in and out of camp. —————————————————————— FOR MORE INFO ON STRENGTH & CONDITIONING AVAILABILITY FOR GROUP OR SINGLE PROGRAMS, SPORTS NUTRITION, COMBAT SPORT WEIGHT CUTS LEAVE ME A DM.

Day 11: reverse crunch. It won't be long and we will be halfway through the 28 day ab challenge to strengthen the core. lift the hips ftom the floor and keep your neck and shoulders relaxed. #adorethecore #abs #Pilates #workout #trainhard #startsomewhere #getmotivated #exercise #fun #fitness #pink #jumpmat #sketchers #core #studio #aerobicstep
