"Male U-20 union rugby players presented force imbalance, which could suggest a greater emphasis of maximal strength development" By Pérez-Ifrán, P., González-Ramírez, A., Calleja-González, J., & Benítez Flores, S. (2024). Abstract Purpose: The main aim of the present study was to describe the Vertical Force-velocity (F-v) profile in male Under-20 (U-20) national team rugby XV union players. Also, as a secondary aim, we proposed to establish the relationships between anthropometric variables with F-v profile parameters. Methods: Ten elite rugby union players from Uruguayan National male U-20 team [age: 18.9 ± 0.3 years; body mass: 90.03 ± 9.09 kg; body mass index (BMI): 26.28 ± 1.33 kg·m-2] were assessed in their force-velocity profile employing squat jump (SJ) with incremental loads. Moreover, we performed correlations between anthropometric variables [height, body mass, BMI, lower-limb length fully extended position (LL length), starting position of the jump (hs), and vertical push-off distance (hpo)] with the F-v profile variables [theoretical maximal force (F0), theoretical maximal velocity (V0), maximal mechanical power output (Pmax), deviation from the optimal profile (Dev), force-velocity imbalance (FVimb), SJ height (SJ0 h) and SJ power (SJ0 P)]. Results: Among the 10 rugby union players evaluated, 7 of them presented a force deficit, 2 were well balanced, and only one presented a velocity deficit. Thus, five athletes presented a high force deficit (37-52%), 2 a low force deficit (64 and 66%), 2 were well balanced (95 and 96%) and only one showed a low velocity deficit (136%). Furthermore, we found large to very large significant correlations between hs with F0, V0, FVimb and Dev (r > 0.6; p < 0.05). Additionally, we found a very large significant correlation between SJ0 h with Pmax (r = 0.757; p = 0.011). Conclusion: Male U-20 union rugby players presented force imbalance, which could suggest a greater emphasis of maximal strength performance for this sample.

"Male freestyle paddlers were taller and had greater sitting height and arm span than female paddlers. They were also functionally stronger and more powerful. Generally, freestyle paddlers have similar body proportions to slalom paddlers." By Dias, S., Caetano, I., & Gorman, A. (2024). Read the full text article for FREE⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e29dyZ8z

Really enjoyable day at LeedsBeckettUniversity for some CPD on #ForceAssessment delivered by IUSCA and supported by Hawkin Dynamics. The lectures and workshops provided great insight and practical application of the technology and will support our work at CU Scarborough to both enhance the sport provision and development of our new #HTQ (2025) and existing #SportPerformanceandCoaching programmes! It will also help us in our collaborations with Elite clubs and local schools and colleges #StudentOpportunities Not a bad 'work' Saturday with Shane Thurlow PhD! Bare Coffee was a top shout this morning 😁
