What do Squat and Deadlift have in common? They both rely on the power generation with a vertical tibia and the primary movement has to be generated with the posterior chain which includes the glutes. As a matter of facts, the glutes are involved in all the lower body movements requiring power and strength, like […]
In a recent article, I wrote about the link between Strength and time of movement,introducing Rate of Force Development and defining Explosive Strength as the ability to exert maximal forces in minimal time. The key concept is that for many movements, the time it takes to develop full range of motion may not be enough to also express […]
Rate of force development (RFD) is merely a change in force with time. The change in force over time can be expressed either as an equation: difference of Force / difference of time between two given instants or plotted on a graph with F on the y-axis and t on the x-axis. Therefore it is the slope of the Force Time curve. […]
