Enhancing Athletic Performance With Effective Deceleration Training

HNL Movement Podcast

In this insightful episode of the HNL Movement Podcast, Andrew delves into the often-overlooked aspect of performance training: deceleration. While much focus is placed on force production and power generation, Andrew highlights the critical role of deceleration in both performance and injury prevention. Drawing an analogy to high-performance cars that require robust braking systems to complement their acceleration, he explains how our bodies, too, need to master the art of absorbing and controlling force to operate at peak efficiency.

Throughout the episode, Andrew explores the key elements of effective deceleration training, emphasizing the importance of both absorbing force smoothly and executing quick, precise stops. He discusses how a well-developed ability to decelerate not only enhances athletic performance but also helps prevent injuries by enabling better control and stability during dynamic movements. Tune in to understand how integrating deceleration exercises into your routine can elevate your overall training and maintain a higher level of functional capability. Enjoy the episode!
