In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob and Yoeri Pegel discuss the unique challenges and demands faced by goalkeepers in modern football, particularly in the context of Yoeri's transition from Ajax to San Diego FC. They explore the specialized training required for goalkeepers, the evolving role of goalkeepers in the game, and the importance of tailored strength and conditioning programs. The discussion also touches on the testing and monitoring of goalkeeper performance, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of their physical demands and the future of goalkeeper training. In this conversation, Yoeri discusses the intricacies of training and testing for goalkeepers, focusing on lateral movement, physical capacities, and the differences in training compared to outfield players. He emphasizes the importance of profiling athletes to tailor training programs effectively, the significance of frontal plane strength, and the role of plyometrics in goalkeeper performance. Yoeri also shares his future aspirations for developing assessment methods and training techniques for goalkeepers. Main talking points: Goalkeeper training is often less specialized in strength and conditioning compared to outfield players. Plyometrics should be integrated into goalkeeper training. Assessing upper extremity strength is important for goalkeepers. Training should be periodized based on practice demands. Deep tier plyometrics can enhance force production at speed. Lateral jump capacity is crucial for goalkeepers' performance.

Knee pain can be managed with proper training and techniques. Isometric exercises play a crucial role in injury prevention. Diet can significantly impact tendon health and performance. As athletes age, training methods must adapt to prevent injuries. Different jumping techniques can affect knee stress differently. Warm-ups are essential to prevent injuries, especially as one ages. Cool-downs can aid recovery and reduce next-day soreness. Managing jump volume and intensity is key to longevity in the sport. Listening to one's body is crucial for effective training. Jordan has never used injections or stem cells for recovery. He emphasizes conservative management and load management for knee issues. Plyometrics should be approached with caution, focusing on depth jumps and seated jumps. Single effort jumps are preferred over multi-effort jumps to avoid knee strain. Lifting techniques should be adjusted based on individual comfort and pain levels. Muscle imbalances should be addressed by strengthening weaker muscles rather than focusing solely on balance. Footwear can significantly impact knee health; personal preference varies. Pain management during training can involve isometric exercises and adjustments in technique. Common tendon issues arise from excessive jumping without proper recovery and management. Weight training is essential for dunkers to prevent injuries and improve performance.

He emphasizes the importance of education in ACL rehabilitation. The type of graft used in ACL surgery significantly affects recovery. Early intervention in rehabilitation can lead to better outcomes. Managing swelling is crucial for effective recovery post-surgery. Different graft types have unique healing timelines and considerations. Patient education is key to understanding the rehabilitation process. The strength of the graft can vary significantly based on the type used. Rehabilitation strategies should be tailored to the individual athlete. Understanding the risks and timelines of recovery can help prevent re-injury. The quality of physical therapy coaching is crucial for recovery. Limb symmetry index should be at least 90% for strength. Plyometrics should be introduced gradually in rehabilitation. Deceleration training is essential for athletes returning to sport. Many physical therapists lack knowledge in plyometric training. Re-injury rates for ACL injuries are alarmingly high. Education on plyometrics is lacking in physical therapy schools. Collaboration between therapists and strength coaches is vital. Athletes often shy away from loading their knees post-injury. Understanding knee and hip strategies can improve rehabilitation outcomes.

He has run 10 marathons, with his latest being his fastest. Luke has experienced various running injuries, including hamstring tendinopathy. Hamstring tendinopathy can significantly impact daily life, not just athletic performance. The distinction between overuse and overload injuries is crucial in rehabilitation. Imaging is not always necessary for diagnosing tendinopathy. Hamstring tendinopathy is often under-researched compared to other tendon injuries. Daily activities, such as sitting, can exacerbate hamstring pain. A multifaceted approach is essential for effective rehabilitation. Strengthening exercises, particularly hamstring curls, are vital in recovery. Early hamstring rehabilitation focuses on building capacity and strength. Runners often lack strength training, impacting their recovery. Incorporating heavy lifting and compound movements is crucial. Plyometrics can enhance performance and aid in rehabilitation. Managing running frequency is essential for tendon recovery. Pain levels may not correlate directly with functional improvements. Capacity testing is vital for assessing recovery progress. Long-term recovery from tendinopathy can take over 12 months. Flare-ups during rehab are common and should be managed. Muscle and tendon adaptations should be targeted separately.  Running technique significantly impacts proximal hamstring load. Trunk position and over-stride are critical factors in assessment. Flexibility in runners may not always correlate with performance. Rehabilitation strategies should focus on individual needs. Shockwave therapy has mixed results for tendinopathy treatment. Field sports present unique challenges in managing injuries. Distal hamstring tendinopathy is less common but still relevant. Metabolic conditions can trigger various tendinopathies. Continuous learning and adaptation are essential in rehabilitation. AI may play a future role in predicting running injuries.

Recent research shows shockwave therapy is ineffective for tendon pain. Calcification in tendons may be an adaptive response. PRP injections do not outperform placebo treatments. Stem cell therapy lacks sufficient evidence for tendon healing. Adjunct therapies should be accessible, cheap, and safe. Heel wedges have shown significant effects in treating Achilles tendinopathy. Loading strategies must be tailored to individual patient needs. Tendon stiffness is primarily improved through heavy loading. Fluid movement within tendons is essential for adaptation. Loading the tendon heavier leads to better fluid movement. Isometrics are crucial for early rehabilitation stages. Heavy maximal eccentrics are key for long-term adaptation. Fluid movement impacts stress relaxation in tendons. Tendon stiffness increases with appropriate loading. Metabolic health is essential for tendon adaptation. Pathological tendons may require different loading strategies. Fluid movement can help reduce pain and improve function. Plyometrics may not provide sufficient strain for adaptation. Blood flow restriction can be effective for tendon rehabilitation.     Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-131-tendons-with-peter-malliaras/

Tendons are part of a muscle-tendon-bone complex. Tendon strain is the relative change in length compared to its original length. Tendons have their own metabolism, albeit at a lower scale than muscles. The hierarchical structure of tendons serves to protect against stress. Tendon stiffness can increase with load and speed of movement. Creep occurs under constant load, affecting tendon length over time. Mechanotransduction requires time for effective cellular response. Pediatric tendon development may lead to imbalances with muscle strength. Strength training is more effective for tendon adaptation than plyometrics. Tendon behavior involves both elasticity and viscosity simultaneously. There is a sweet spot for tendon strain duration, ideally between 3 to 15 seconds. Longer isometric holds may not benefit healthy tendons. Blood flow restriction (BFR) may not have unique benefits over traditional training. Tendon compliance can be improved by reducing resistance training. Passive stretching may yield some adaptation in untrained individuals. Training age influences tendon stiffness and adaptation. Sex differences exist in tendon adaptation, with females gaining stiffness at lower force levels. The relationship between training volume and tendon adaptation is complex and requires more research. Understanding how tendons perceive strain is crucial for future studies.    Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-130-tendons-with-gerard-mcmahon/

(09:10) "Maxick. Yes. So that also fits the bill because you are actually, you're trying to contract your muscle by using your own body as resistance. So it's a form of isometric training. And I believe that it is very valuable, especially in the earlier stage of training because I strongly believe that especially when it comes to motor learning and maybe hypertrophy, the better you are at creating tension in the proper muscle, the better results you'll get." (18:35) "I think that again, long-duration isometrics is something that's going to be very, very positive to prevent the decrease in tendon performance with older athletes."

The tier system for plyometrics is based on a simple classification of movement intensity. Tendon health is crucial for athletes, especially in track and field. Volume is essential for structural development in muscles and tendons. Joint stiffness plays a significant role in athletic performance. The light tier of plyometrics is more muscular-based and less effective for structural changes. High volumes of plyometric training can lead to significant improvements in performance. Athletes in team sports often hide injuries better than those in track and field. The stretch-shortening cycle is vital for understanding tendon function during athletic movements. Fatigue in muscles can limit the effectiveness of tendon utilization during performance. Max effort jumps primarily enhance neuromuscular output. Tendon development requires specific training tiers. Stiffness and compliance are crucial for tendon health. Deep tier movements may improve tendon compliance. Youth training should consider peak height velocity. Monitoring volume and intensity is essential for young athletes. Tendons behave differently in youth compared to adults. Injury prevention strategies must include structural training. The relationship between joint angles and tendon strain is complex. Upcoming courses will focus on practical training methods.    Matt's Website: https://www.plusplyos.com Matt's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcinneswatson/?hl=en Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-123-tendons-with-matt-mcinnes-watson/

On this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Jake Tuura shares his journey into tendon training after personal struggles with jumper's knee. He highlights the critical role tendons play in sports performance, acting as energy-storing structures that absorb and release force during high-intensity movements. Proper tendon stiffness minimizes excessive strain, reducing the risk of tendon injuries such as tendinopathy and ruptures. Jake explains that developing tendon stiffness takes time and is best achieved through long-term heavy lifting and isometric exercises rather than relying solely on plyometrics. Research indicates that short-duration heavy isometric contractions stimulate collagen production and improve tendon resilience, whereas plyometrics alone may not provide sufficient loading for tendon adaptation. Effective training should apply 4-20% strain to optimize tendon health while maintaining overall strength and conditioning. Jake spends time on explaining that early engagement in diverse physical activities (ages 0-17) helps build robust tendons, while poor training practices and high blood sugar levels can negatively affect tendon stiffness. Both male and female athletes should follow structured tendon training approaches, as biological differences do not necessitate separate programs. After being asked about the Achilles rupture epidemic in NFL, Jake explains that proper offseason conditioning and tendon monitoring are crucial. Regular assessments, high-load training, and structured progressions can prevent degenerative issues, helping athletes maintain high performance while minimizing injury risks. Main talking points: Tendon stiffness is crucial for sports performance Proper tendon training helps prevent injuries Heavy lifting and isometrics improve tendon stiffness Plyometrics alone are insufficient for tendon adaptation Short-duration heavy isometrics enhance tendon resilience Early physical activity builds strong tendons Achilles injuries are increasing in professional sports Offseason conditioning is critical for tendon health Regular assessments help prevent tendon degeneration

Join Revero waitlist: https://revero.com/join Matt Watson is a dynamic thinker with a keen interest in biomechanics and human movement. His approach centers on the idea that the human body's reflexive capacities, such as the sudden jolt experienced when stepping on an unexpected stair, highlight our innate ability to anticipate. Matt champions the concept that maintaining high-intensity, simplistic movements can significantly benefit our physical resilience. He argues that the most effective exercises are those that are straightforward yet demanding, like barefoot activities on concrete, which stimulate potent physiological responses. Matt emphasizes the importance of plyometric and jumping exercises in preserving our anticipatory abilities, which he considers humanity's greatest superpower. Driven by a belief in the power of simplicity in maintaining intensity, Matt's insights offer a fresh perspective on optimizing physical training and endurance.
