Triphasic Training and its Benefits for Athletes
Triphasic Training, created by Cal Deets, focuses on three main phases: eccentric, isometric, and concentric. During the eccentric phase, athletes perform movements like squats and single-leg safety bar squats to build muscle and create tension. The isometric phase involves holding positions, such as the bottom of a squat, to increase flexibility and strengthen tendons. This phase also improves vascular efficiency and reduces soft tissue injuries. The final phase, concentric, emphasizes explosive movements to enhance power and speed. Triphasic Training aims to optimize an athlete's performance by targeting specific muscle groups and improving mechanical efficiency.
