One critical aspect of shoulder anatomy that often goes underappreciated but is vital in assessing shoulder health is the humeral head retroversion. Understanding and measuring humeral head retroversion is essential for diagnosing, treating, and preventing shoulder injuries, particularly in throwing athletes.
Athletic performance varies widely from person to person, influenced by numerous factors including genetics, training, and biomechanics. One fascinating aspect of athleticism is the Infrasternal Angle (ISA), which can be categorized into three types: Wide, Neutral, and Narrow. Each of these angles correlates with different physical attributes and athletic strengths. Let’s delve into these archetypes to understand how they affect performance and training.
Think of sleep and the amount of gas in your gas tank. If you are low and miss a few hours due to an event or not being able to fall asleep. Then your body has less gas (sleep) to run on. What you must do is plan to make it up when you know you will be able to. This will allow you can refill your sleep tank and have more energy.
When I look at volume I think of its application to the nervous system and how the athlete can recover. We know from the textbooks and research that lifts with higher volume will take the athlete anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to recover from. However, lifts that are higher in intensity with lower volume are easier for the body to recover from (12 to 24 hours). On a quick side note this is why you want your in-season lifting programs to be more strength focused.
A vector is a quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another. In other words the direction in which you apply force into the ground directly correlates as to how you will be able to move and how fast you will be able to move.
According to Seroyer, MD & Nho, MD “Increased amounts of shoulder external rotation help to allow the accelerating forces to act over the longest distance,25 allowing greater pre-stretch and elastic energy transfer to the ball during acceleration.21,31,35” While greater amount of external rotation can be a predictor of increase velocity it also causes increased stress on the UCL and we all know what that means.
My biggest advice to young coaches or coaches looking to achieve a higher level perspective on speed development is to find who the great coaches are and learn from them. I made that a mission of mine early in my career and it was an amazing adventure. Not only can you learn from their view point of how they are seeing things unfold in real time but picking up on their verbal cues is of tremendous value. An when you are trying to get athletes into the correct angels and ground contact points in real time knowledge like this is invaluable.
I vividly remember my first day of my first assistant coach job after leaving the University of South Florida. I was watching the head coach run groups through all day and most of what we were doing was all speed and agility related. However, these were skills and drills I had never seen before and was honestly intimidated myself to demo. Now this job was in the private sector which explains why we spent more time on speed and agility then weights, unlike the college realm I had just left
