The Stretch Shortening Cycle and Training

The stretch shortening cycle (SSC) plays an important role in the production of force / power, especially in movements that are limited by time (e.g. jumping and running). It is important to understand if the SSC needs to be developed in our athletes. But how do we assess this? Watch this video to find out more about how to assess the SSC.

Currently binge watching all of your videos. There are nowhere near enough resources for athletic performance training as there should be online, especially on youtube. Keep up the great work!

Well done. Informative and straight to the point.

watching the video and reading the phrase is so much better than these 15 minute videos trying to explain this.

@Sanatan vinod
The yellow platform is a contact mat. It records anytime your feet coming to contact with the map. As you jump it records the time that your feet are in the air. Using the flight time it estimates how high you are jumping.
