This is the second webinar in the “Running Mechanics” series, and this episode is looking at plantar pressure mapping in power and strength-based sports.

Acceleration is critical in most sporting activities characterised by high-intensity running and sprinting. But, from a biomechanical perspective, the type of acceleration required by an individual sport in track and field, where linear speed is the primary factor, differs from the necessary acceleration in team sports, where multi-directional speed is dominant.

A deceleration or change of direction component in team sports requires a more taxing central nervous system involvement. With plantar pressure mapping, it is possible to assess the efficacy of acceleration mechanics and the impact of foot strikes and timing in the proper application of force.

Learn
What acceleration characteristics are in linear and multi-directional speed and how they relate to sports performance.

Understand
How plantar pressure mapping can assist coaches and biomechanics professionals test the efficacy of acceleration training and drills.

Experience
Using plantar pressure mapping on the field through different tests based on the type of athlete.
