Workshop Resources
NSI Malaysia: Reverse Engineering
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss the principles of Reverse Engineering and how it can be used to help athletes optimally prepare for the demands of their sport
NSI Malaysia: High Performance Modelling for Sport
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss the importance of having an evidence-based training plan, but importantly, a team willing to engage in it
Determining Meaningful Change When N = 1
Download the lecture slides and excel worksheet we will use to calculate the Coefficient of Variation as well as meaningful differences in performance (athlete capability) and readiness (athlete stability) testing. Below are links to "how to" videos to support completion of the worksheets
You can watch a video here, where we explore why it is necessary to calculate your own exponent, for each group and exercise, and then how to use the dashboard to run and interpret the analysis.
Now exponents can easily be calculated, there should be no excuse for defaulting to the traditional, simple to calculate ratio method
Lecture Handouts for Beyond Relative Strength
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss allometric scaling and how you can calculate the appropriate exponent for your athletes and exercise.
Lecture Handouts for Strength and Power Training
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss the principles and practice of power training . An understanding of movement mechanics will help us design effective training programmes for athletes.
Lecture Handouts: The mechanics behind the metrics
Download the lecture slides we will use to analysis the CMJ via force plates. Understand the force-time curve and then many metrics this test produces
Lecture Handouts: Plyometrics and the stretch shortening cycle
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss SSC mechanics, plyometrics training and testing
Lecture Handouts for The Deceleration Paradox and the Mechanical Constraints of Agility
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss the mechanics underpinning Change of Direction Speed (CoDS) and the deceleration paradox. We will also discuss how to test CoDS.
Changing direction is changing momentum!
Change of Direction and Acceleration check sheet
Download this check sheet to assess the movement mechanics of your athletes when they perform a 180-degree turn as part of the 5-2-180 test.
Weightlifting Scoring sheet
Download this scoring sheet to help assess your technique in the clean, jerk, and snatch, and monitor your performance over time. You can also download the research paper this technical analysis is based on.
This sheet was developed for the Fitness Formula workshops by British Weightlifting's Dr Shyam Chavda and Stuart Martin
Lecture Handouts for Periodisation
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss periodisation for strength and power athletes , covering the principles of planning and programming. We will also discuss how training systems can be used in practice and how they can be adapted based on the constraints of the environment and the needs of the athlete.
Lecture Handouts for the Italian Strength and Conditioning Society (ITASCS)
Download the lecture slides we will use to discuss Strength and conditioning training for soldiers, covering unique demands, injury, conditioning and programming
