Training Science Podcast PART 2: Sexy Jump Curves, Eccentric Phases & Single Leg Data - Send Help AGAIN! With Dr Daniel Cohen & Dr Martin Buchheit
8 snips
Sep 5, 2024 Join Dr. Daniel Cohen, co-inventor of the force plate, and Dr. Martin Buchheit as they dive into the fascinating world of jump analysis. They reveal how single and double leg jumps not only differ in metrics but hold unique values for athletes. The duo also explores eccentric performance and its implications for training, alongside innovative methods for monitoring fatigue. Discover the art of simplifying complex training concepts while understanding the critical role of personalized performance data in enhancing athletic capabilities.

Episode notes
Consider Signal-Noise, Not Just Reliability
- Don't exclude variables solely based on poor reliability; consider signal-to-noise ratio in your cohort.
- Create consistent testing environments with strong intent to improve reliability of eccentric metrics like EDRFD.
Competitive Testing Improves Reliability
- A West Ham rugby study reduced variability of eccentric metrics to 7% by fostering competitive, high-intent testing.
- Athletes who put maximum effort improve consistency and validity of eccentric force metrics significantly.
Eccentric Metrics Reveal Fatigue Better
- Fatigue affects eccentric deceleration duration and rate of force development more than jump height.
- Jump height can improve despite fatigue, so rely on multiple variables for accurate fatigue monitoring.
