Learn to identify proper scenarios for implementation of blood flow restriction (BFR) training for rehabilitation and performance enhancement, and understand indications and precautions for implementing BFR. This session from the NSCA’s 2016 TSAC Annual Training demonstrates proper usage and technique with standard exercises while using BFR.
Competence, autonomy, and relatedness are three keys to promoting a more intrinsically motivated athlete. These components can be combined in nearly limitless ways, which is especially important for the long basketball season.
The purpose of this article is to describe the cause of hamstring injuries in sprinters and present a biomechanical intervention, or drill, that can be used to prevent hamstring injuries while transitioning sprint athletes toward the utilization of frontside mechanics.
In this session from the NSCA’s 2017 TSAC Annual Training, Mick Stierli discusses the new 12-week structured exercise program for law enforcement that was recently implemented in New South Wales, Australia. Stierli explains how to integrate a similar program into an organization and how to gain buy-in from tactical athletes.
