High Performance Physiology

• 008 Throwing and punching

  Building once again on previous episodes in which they talked about strength, speed, and power, the proximal to distal sequence, and vertical jumping, Chris and Rob now tackle how throwing and punching work, and discuss how to train to improve performance in those activities.

• 007 Vertical jumping

  In this episode, Chris and Rob build on previous podcast discussions about strength, speed, and power as well as on the proximal to distal sequence to explain [1] how vertical jumping works, and [2] how we can structure training programs to improve vertical jump height.

• 006 Eccentric training

  In this episode, Chris and Rob introduce eccentric training, starting with the underlying physiological adaptations and then going on to provide some commentary on practical programming. Contrary to what you will likely hear elsewhere, the important (transferable) adaptations caused by eccentric training are peripheral and not neural.

• 005 Stretch-shortening cycle

  In this episode, Chris and Rob introduce the stretch-shortening cycle and its underlying mechanisms, focusing on how it works in fast movements. This builds on previous episodes in which they talked about speed, power, strength, and the proximal to distal sequence. Learn more about how tendons work to store and release elastic energy in fast movements.

• 004 Proximal to distal sequencing

  After covering the basics of strength, speed, and power, Chris and Rob now address how the proximal to distal sequence works. This is a key feature of human movement and has been observed in running, jumping, and throwing, as well as more complex activities. Understanding how it works is essential for interpreting the transfer of training to sporting performance.
