Wheelchair Athlete S&C
This webinar hosted in partnership with Velocity Academy explores the objectives of the strength and conditioning coach including the improvement of the required athletic performance qualities, and the prevention of injury. The webinar also details how these two vital objectives are related, and how we increase athlete robustness via the enhancement of each required performance quality. The relationship between maximal strength, power, rate of force development and Hills force-velocity curves is also explored.

Power Series - Plyometric Training
This webinar hosted hosted in partnership with ArenaFysio and the Athletic Sports School in Sweden explores the application of plyometric training within sports performance, including : the stretch shortening cycle and the aromatisation phase, concentric dominant vs tendon compliance vs tendon stiffness plyometric training modes, the importance of matching the biomechanical demands of the athletes chosen sport, training DOSE considerations when programming plyometric training within performance programs, and plyometric training pre-requisites.
S&C within Endurance Running
This webinar hosted by Jake Harvey and Lois Axson explores the required performance qualities within endurance running, and how applied evidence-based performance training can not only improve running performance, but also prevent injury. The webinar explores the fundamental biomechanics that underpins running performance, the need for force production, rate of force development, power and musculotendon stiffness within runners, optimal running mechanics and the importance of increasing an individuals aerobic capacity and anaerobic tolerance.
If You're Not Assessing .. Your Guessing
This webinar hosted in partnership with Archon Academy explored the importance of identifying the required performance qualities needed within an athletes chosen sport or an individuals performance goals, the importance of assessing the required performance qualities with correct valid testing methodology, and how to then implement evidence based training strategies to improve the required performance qualities. Such analysis allows the effectiveness of any applied training interventions to be evaluated, providing further clarity for future planned performance training, and ultimately, a greater increase overall performance.
