Analyzing Eccentric Performance in Sports
This chapter explores the significance of eccentric braking rates during counter-movement jumps, highlighting the need for precise measurements of force asymmetries in athletes. It emphasizes how these insights can reveal not only performance metrics but also potential injury risks, particularly in the context of patellar tendonitis. By discussing a case study on recovery through targeted eccentric loading, the chapter illustrates the comprehensive benefits of using force platforms for monitoring athlete performance and readiness.
