This practical, interactive session will move through a spectrum of drills from warm up, controlled CoD into reactive CoD and finishing with reactive games.

Damian Harper's session from the UKSCA's 2022 Conference discusses the significance of deceleration and braking for athletes involved in multi-directional sports, highlighting the physiological and biomechanical demands of these braking actions.

A lively session from UKSCA's 2022 Conference where experts Alistair McBurnie, Tom Dos' Santos and Damian Harper, discuss training change of direction while fielding questions from the audience.

This article describes sound technical progressions and variations for the barbell rollout; identifying common faults and explain how to correct them.

This article explores the biomechanical parameters making up sprint performance, allowing the integration of relevant training modalities into effective speed development programmes.

The Wall Drive develops the application of appropriate force through the ground in the stance phase. Developing the quickness of this movement impacts the entire acceleration phase.

The development of explicit motor abilities in particular are predominately informed by biomechanics. An example is the characterisation of maximum velocity sprinting

This article critically evaluates the traditional technical model for execution of a movement using step-by-step descriptions of the body’s movements and positions during different phases.

The aim of this article is to provide a resource for understanding the key biomechanical principles involved in effective plyometric exercise.

This article highlight the benefits of eccentrics in a training programme, and describes the physiological benefits of training with fast eccentrics, specifically the drop jump.

This preliminary study assesses the validity of qualitative assessment tools for cutting, to estimate the magnitude of peak knee abduction moments against 3D motion analysis.
