AEL is a popular tool among S&C coaches, but ex*****on matters! While coaches often default to heavy loads and slow descents, submaximal AEL combined with high eccentric velocity better preserves jump mechanics and maximizes propulsive power. Tailor AEL prescription to your athletes' readiness, training phase, and available gym equipment to optimize athletic power while managing fatigue.

Heavy eccentrics don’t always hurt more! This study shows accentuated eccentric loading actually reduced lower body soreness compared to traditional training. For coaches, AEL offers a potent stimulus for strength and hypertrophy while managing fatigue — making it a practical option during demanding training blocks.

Elite female athletes don’t just battle training loads—mood and eating attitudes subtly shape body composition. This study shows that while body fat drops in the off season, psychological stress markers like tension and fatigue can predict shifts in fat percentage. With over 13% of athletes at risk for disordered eating, coaches and support staff must integrate psychological monitoring alongside physical conditioning to safeguard both health and performance.

🏋️‍♂️ Boost power, not soreness! A new study shows that simple verbal encouragement or tracking movement speed during high-velocity resistance training helps older adults move weights significantly faster and improves their post-exercise sit-to-stand performance—all without adding extra muscle soreness or fatigue the next day.

🏐 Words matter on the force plate! A new study on Division I volleyball players reveals that telling athletes to jump "fast" completely alters their biomechanical strategy—increasing force production and explosiveness (RSIm) while shortening jump templates, even though actual jump height stays the same. To keep your athletic testing accurate and consistent, standardizing your coaching cues is a must!

🏋️‍♂️ Single-limb vs. double-limb power! A new review highlights that a bilateral deficit—where your combined single-limb strength beats out your double-limb output—is heavily driven by neural mechanisms like interhemispheric inhibition. Because this deficit is highly adaptable and shifts based on whether you train unilaterally or bilaterally, standardizing your loading protocols and movement stability is absolutely essential to get accurate data during athletic testing!

😴⚽ Sleep matters! This study shows that when young soccer players face intensified training, unrestricted sleep helps preserve recovery, mood, and stress tolerance—even though mucosal immunity still dips. But when sleep is restricted, the combination magnifies illness risk, fatigue, and psychological strain. Coaches should prioritize sleep hygiene during heavy training blocks to protect both performance and health.
