Tendon Stiffness vs. System Stiffness
📈 Plyometrics improve tendon stiffness. (PMID: 35312884)
This plays an important role in jump height, sprint speed, etc.
📊 But what plays an equally or perhaps more important role is system stiffness.
I don't have a PMID to reference regarding system stiffness. There are a lot of variables, making it difficult to measure definitively.
🏋🏽♂️ I do have a lot of thoughts from 10+ years of developing a coaching eye to see projection, posture, and rhythm in athletes.
What do you think? Are we focusing enough on coaching system stiffness?
