In this session from the 2019 NSCA National Conference, Gary Boros, Associate Director of Sports Performance at the University of Denver, and Chris Jarmon, Sport Performance Coach at Landow Performance, discuss the understanding of the science and research behind blood flow restriction (BFR); connects research insights in performance, rehabilitation, and general fitness; and discerns the ideal use cases, equipment, and training protocols for BFR.

Learn about the anthropometric, kinematic, kinetic, and asymmetric variables that contribute to sprint performance, as well as how a coach can design effective speed development programs for male youth athletes.

Learn about the effects of recovery in neuroscience to sustain performance. In this session from the NSCA’s 2017 TSAC Annual Training, Mark Stephenson explains the neurophysiological effects of various recovery modalities in sustaining high performance.

Is the squat or hip thrust a better exercise for increasing jump and sprint performance? The results of this study support the force vector theory.

Acceleration and maximal velocity are two factors that are key for any position in football and can determine success in many situations out on the field. This article will review several aspects of sprint mechanics and training to enhance linear (straight-ahead) speed for football players.
