50 Shades of Grey Sports Performance/Strength & Conditioning is a very “Grey” area in regards to structure, implementation, progression, and philosophy's. Each Coach has his/her methods & beliefs when working with any demographic of athlete. …What are the desired RESULTS, and are you OBTAINING them?
Objectives • Explain Return To Performance • Bio-Motor Abilities (The Standard 8 vs. The Better 10) • Identify A Methodology for Return To Performance • Tri-Phasic Training • Describe Application Principles: Training the In-Season Athlete • Strength Component • Speed & Multi-Directional Agility Components • Describe Application Principles: Training the Off-Season Athlete • Strength Component • Speed & Multi-Directional Agility Components • Explain the Importance of the Pre-Tested Athlete vs. Athlete with no Data • Summary
What is “Return to Performance” Return to performance is referring to an athlete’s ability to show true physical preparedness for performance & sport related demands, prior to current state. (Bio-Motor Abilities) Data determines readiness…
Bio-Motor Abilities • The Better 10… • Strength • Power • Endurance • Speed (FMPattern) • Agility (FMPattern) • Flexibility • Mobility • Balance (Neueral) • Coordination (Neural) • Conditioning • Standard 8 • Strength • Power • Endurance • Speed • Agility • Coordination • Balance • Flexibility
Methodology: Tri-Phasic Training • Cal Dietz • Tri …Three • Phase • “A distinct period or stage in a process of change or forming part of somethings development.” • Three components of every muscle action • Eccentric – Controlled Lowering • Isometric – Hold/Transition • Concentric – Explosive Movement aka “Go Time” • Stretch Shortening Cycle (SCC)
Methodology: Tri-Phasic Training Cont. Eccentric Phase This is the deceleration or lowering portion of the movement. It is associated with muscle lengthening. During this phase, kinetic energy is absorbed and stored in the tendons of the muscle structure to be used during the stretch reflex (1st). • Increased Stimulus to Muscle Fibers • ^ Biological Adaptations • Remodeling Muscle & Tissue • Train Slow …Be Fast/Powerful • Ability to Control Force • ^ Amounts of Potentiation
Methodology: Tri-Phasic Training Cont. Isometric Phase This is where the mass, or athlete, comes to a complete stop before being reaccelerated in a new direction stretch reflex (2nd). • Increased Motor Unit Recruitment • ^ # of muscle fibers that fire. • Weakest Portion of any exercise/movement (>15 Degrees) • Transition/Transfer of energy and force… But we’re weak at it? To benefit from using all that force you absorbed in the eccentric portion (“every action has an equal and opposite reaction”), this phase needs to be as short as possible.
Methodology: Tri-Phasic Training Cont. Concentric Phase This is the acceleration of an athlete or mass. It is associated with muscle shortening, stretch reflex (3rd). • Producing the most amount of force (Power). • More force, faster athletes.
Tri-Phasic & Return to Performance • Main Objective? • Return to Prior Performance State • Sports are all fast, violent, and powerful in nature. • Sports Performance needs to prepare athletes for sports. • Replicate physical demands VIA Sports Performance • SEPARATION IS IN THE PREPARATION!
Application: In-Season • Factors to Consider: • Physical Limitations • Athlete Energy Levels • Practice Schedule • Stress to the CNS • Intensity • Volume • % of Loads • Conditioning Level • Season Dependent • Mobility & Flexibility • Athlete Confidence Case Female Soccer Player ACL Injury Cleared to “Return To Sport” Timeline 5 Weeks – Conference Tournament 6 Weeks Away – 1st Rd.

Application: Off-Season • Longer Timeline • 3,6,9 Months • Linear Periodization can be utilized • Maximize Rehabilitation • Maximize General Physical Preparedness (Movement) • Maximize Physiological Adaptations • Hypertrophy • Strength • Power
Pre Tested Vs. No Data • The Pre-Tested Success • “Data Determines Readiness” • If all post rehab & performance data coincides with athlete’s prior data, the continuum of care is complete and the athlete can perform at his/her expected level. • WE NEED PRE-INJURY DATA • The No Data Detriment • Guess Work… • Quality • Gender & Sport Normality's
Summary • Return To Performance • The Better 10 Bio-Motor Abilities • Tri-Phasic Training Concepts • Training the Phases of Movement: Power • In-Season Application • Case: Female Soccer Athlete • 6 Week “Return To Performance” Program • Off-Season Application/Mindset • Linear Periodization • Time is our Ally • Data Determines True Readiness
