The landing isn’t over when your shoes touch the floor. 🏀

Two landings can look similar at first contact, then unfold differently. Watch what the knees, hips, and trunk do next.

That’s why landing assessment looks at both the starting position and the movement that follows.

Don’t just freeze the landing. Follow it.

Skating speed starts with more than a push straight back. 🏒

We break down the outward-and-backward stride, the work of the inner thigh, and why strength testing and movement screening answer different questions.

A useful starting point: range of motion, single-leg control, and left-to-right differences.

Save this for your next hockey training session.

Still thinking about this one-handed catch on Saturday. 🤯

We break down the reach, the muscles that help bring the ball in, and the rotation into the landing.

Catch of the weekend?

Q-angle describes structure. It does not tell you how an athlete will move.

Once speed, load, external forces, tissue capacity, and neuromuscular control enter the picture, anatomy becomes one constraint inside a larger system. Training is about helping the athlete perform with the geometry they have.

A deeper stretch doesn’t always mean a longer muscle.

For biarticular muscles like the hamstrings, both joints matter, and muscle-tendon length isn’t the same thing as fascicle length. More range of motion alone doesn’t tell you what tissue is actually being lengthened.

La Vuelta lists mountain stages on Aug 25, Aug 28, and Aug 30. In a study of 14 competitive youth cyclists at 250 W and a 14% slope, standing increased the knee's relative contribution to total mechanical work compared with seated climbing.

Save this for your next climbing review.

NFL receivers hit over 20 mph and stop in three steps. Every braking step absorbs more than three times bodyweight, and the cut everyone claps for is a stop plus a launch. Separation starts in the brakes. Save this for your next speed day.

Armand Duplantis cleared 6.21 m on his first attempt in Lausanne and had no misses through that height. The research slides summarize a separate 25-athlete study from the 2018 World Indoor Championships. Save this before Weltklasse Zurich on August 27.

US Open men’s and women’s singles qualifying runs August 24 to 27, 2026. In a simulated choice-reaction task with 10 male collegiate players, split-step trials averaged 764 ± 106 ms and no-split trials averaged 868 ± 63 ms. Save this for your next return-of-serve film review.

Lab studies clock pro punches at 50-60 G's of acceleration, and almost none of it starts in the arm. Rear foot drives, hips fire first, the fist delivers what the ground produced. Save this for rotation work.
