Summary

In this episode, Chris and Rob introduce the stretch-shortening cycle and its underlying mechanisms, focusing on how it works in fast movements. This builds on previous episodes in which they talked about speed, power, strength, and the proximal to distal sequence. Learn more about how tendons work to store and release elastic energy in fast movements.
