Nordic curls are amazing and humbling lmaooo

Also, forgot to include that if this strength staff is putting an emphasis on strengthening their hamstrings, those kids should be in good hands.

A DPT internship I did worked with Bommaritos for training/rehabbing the combine kids. Majority of the kids had underdeveloped hamstrings from their old college’s strength staff

I won’t elaborate and turn it into another lengthy S&C thread

I will just agree with this post wholeheartedly and continue to be optimistic about the direction of this team

New regime wants to focus on power and how that power specifically translates to the field of play.
The picture appears to depict Nordic Hamstring Curls which is a great way to train for power generation.

So typical strength training focuses on increasing force output by increasing the amount or LOAD of weight an athlete uses while training. The speed of the lift isn’t necessarily important, ONLY the amount of weight lifted. I think that a lot of our former S&C programs focused on this aspect. It’s obviously not easy to move quickly in a back squat loaded with 700lbs.

Power, however, is the ability to apply force quickly. Force and speed have a unique relationship. As the speed of a movement increases, force production then decreases.

Power = (Force × Distance)/Time

Explosive football players are able to produce a large amounts of horizontal force extraordinary quickly while ALSO producing high levels of power.

The ability to generate force quickly explains why an incredibly strong football player might excel in the weight room with heavy weights but struggle in measures of power like the forty-yard dash.

This goes back to what Dr. Rhea and Coach Ballou were cultivating at Alabama (I say “were” since Rhea has since moved on to the New Orleans Saints). Training players to be able to get to their optimal performance FASTER than their opponent.

It’s easy to see how this way of training translates to a skill player like a running back or receiver but lower body / core power generation also applies to Mario’s favorite geographical location - “the trenches”.

If Zion can reach his max power output out of his stance at the line of scrimmage faster than Shemar Steward can engage his on Sep 17th then we put ourselves in a great position to allow Henry Parrish to gain 8 yards on first down.

You love to see it.

Sounds like it will make us more athletic on the field and cut down on soft tissue injuries? Or are injuries just fluky?

There is no way feeley wasn't having the kids do GHRs or Nordic curls. If that was the case he should never be allowed near another school.

Both studies below involved Soccer players but it does not take away from Football as hamstring injuries are universal

"Teams using injury prevention programs that included the NH exercise reduced hamstring injury rates up to 51 % in the long term compared with the teams that did not use any injury prevention measures." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-016-0638-2

"According to the results obtained, it was found that the H/Q ratio (at 180os-1 and 240os-1 angular velocities) and hamstring muscle strength (60os-1, 180os-1 and 240os-1 angular velocities) increased statistically significantly (p<0.05). As a result, it can be stated that NH exercise is a very important factor in achieving the desired level of H/Q ratio, which is an important factor in increasing sportive performance and thus decreasing the risk of injury as well as increasing hamstring muscle strength"......"Studies have shown that although concentric hamstring curl exercises increase muscle strength, they do not have an effective role in hamstring injuries; on the contrary, eccentric NH exercise is an effective exercise to prevent hamstring injuries." https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1185402.pdf

NH = Nordic Hamstring
Angular Velocity = Vector measurement of how fast rotation occurs.
Concentric = Muscle contraction
Eccentric = Muscle lengthening

Hope that helps!

A lot of AcL and other knee injuries are because players are so quad dominant these days.
