Yes it is important to read research papers. However, they are not gospel. They are one of the mediums strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches need to consume. S&C coaches also need to consume textbooks, books, podcasts, webinars, etc...In this video you will watch me interview Dr. Trevor Short about his 2025 paper "Implementing the Reverse Acute to Chronic Workload Ratio Model to Improve Movement Capacity and Roster Availability: An Example Using Data from the NFL." Article DOI: 10.47206/hmrmy739This paper was published in 2025 but was based on 2015 data set. In the article Dr. Short talks about Acute to Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) and how it can help coaches plan their workload. However, the ACWR that Dr. Short talks about comes from Tim Gabbett and Tim's work was shown to be refuted/redacted due to inaccuracies. I talk about this in this SCN original blog https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/blog/Acute-ChronicListen to two PhDs talk about research and how it impacts decisions that S&C coaches make. ___Save on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/CEU---From our sponsorsTeamBuildr 🌎Site:https://www.teambuildr.com/enTeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.
