Dr Neil Welch - Show Notes

In this episode Dr Neil Welch and I discuss performance and rehabilitation in change of direction. Dr Welch recently completed his PhD titled ‘The Role of Maximal Strength, Explosive Strength, Reactive Strength and Deceleration in Rehabilitation and Performance’. Neil works as the Head of Rehab at the Sports Surgery Clinic, Dublin.

Key papers highlighted:

Principal Component Analysis of the Associations Between Kinetic Variables in Cutting and Jumping, and Cutting Performance Outcome.

Principal Component Analysis of the Biomechanical Factors Associated With Performance During Cutting.

Role of the Penultimate Foot Contact During Change of Direction: Implications on Performance and Risk of Injury

Influence of maximal muscle strength and intrinsic muscle contractile properties on contractile rate of force development

Early and late rate of force development: differential adaptive responses to resistance training?

Technical ability of force application as a determinant factor of sprint performance.

Change of direction speed in soccer: How much braking is enough?
