He also touched on some techniques that helped him get out of some periods of depression throughout his career.

It requires huge reserves of fitness, speed, agility, strength, power and cat-like reflexes. Oh and you need to be able to hit the ball as well. James and Jacob talk about some of the ways we help our tennis athletes develop their overall athleticism and how you can take your game to the next level. Resources: Tennis players definitely need to have high levels of aerobic fitness, but that still doesn't mean pounding the pavement with long slow runs.

This month at Core Advantage is all about Acceleration.

Podcast Stretching is a contentious topic, but much like last weeks episode on ice baths (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IjJtb9HqXY), the science can be a minefield of unrealistic studies and sensationalised media headlines. The key to stretching before sport is in the details: - Dosage (25-30sec) of gently holding the position  - The correct stretches (we love the crouching three for any running athletes, linked below) - And to follow the stretches up with a proper activation and dynamic warm-up series. We also cover: - Where the science on stretching has gone wrong and how it under appreciates the nuance of stretching pre-exercise. - How thinking and the scientific method are both valuable but need to be understood fully to apply - How a short dose of the right stretches can have an incredible restorative effect on alignment, performance and long-term injury reduction and recovery  - We discuss thinking and the scientific method in general and how challenging traditional or preconceived theories can be challenging Some resources and extra reading/watching: New Yorker Article on the topic of thinking: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds Veritasium video on the flaws in the scientific method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q A web page/article summarising the video: https://wakelet.com/wake/35a80e1c-0033-4db1-a5c1-28337f57d75b Some articles on the same topic:  http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124 https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/science-isnt-broken/#part1 The AIS stretching study (it was actually 2008):  Negative effect of static stretching restored when combined with a sport specific warm-up component http://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/40275084/Negative_effect_of_static_stretching_res20151122-9050-vuil4j.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&Expires=1489645276&Signature=5WSeDFCIJuSoUYmT8NN2FwHweeU%3D&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DNegative_effect_of_static_stretching_res.pdf Two of our favourite exaggerated stretching protocol studies: http://anneclairepannier.free.fr/files/etirements/THE%20EFFECT%20OF%20DIFFERENT%20WARM-UP%20STRETCH.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Matthew_Portas/publication/6493099_The_effect_of_static_ballistic_and_proprioceptive_neuromuscular_facilitation_stretching_on_vertical_jump_performance/links/0c960515bf28e28029000000.pdf The Crouching Three (our favourite stretches) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8-8n_EyhIw&t=6s Core Advantage's activation and dynamic warm-up series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeQPAP-VhpY&t=33s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LZU2H-eSxY&t=36s An old article on the topic of stretching and athletic performance: http://www.coreadvantage.com.au/blog/2012/9/20/first-post?rq=stretching The dynamic component of our warm up routine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LZU2H-eSxY&t=3s To download our full warm up routine for free (PDF) head over to our website www.coreadvantage.com.au
