Everyone, please meet Erik Albarran, one of ATH’s Sport and Exercise Scientist! In this unique, collaborative role, Erik works as a physical therapist at Katy’s Rockets Sports Medicine Institute with Memorial Hermann Health System in addition to his sports science duties with ATH. Erik is a Certified Clinical Specialist in Sports Physical Therapy and Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic and Manual Physical Therapy. As a SES, Erik is pursuing his PhD in change of direction and ACL return to play through Auckland University of Technology. Erik is a great person to talk about ACLs and return to play with and he did that for our ATH coaches as part of our coach education series. - ACL injuries are common, especially in females, and are caused by multiple factors. - Modifiable risk factors include fatigue, environment, biomechanics, and psychology. - Injury prevention programs focus on lower extremity and core strength, balance, proprioception, plyometrics, and agility. - Complete avoidance of ACL injury is impossible, but athletes can take steps to minimize their risk. If you are in need of return to play training visit your local ATH facility and ask a coach for more information!

Thank you Trey Job and Athlete Training and Health for letting me speak with your coaching team. It was a great experience!
A special thank you goes out to Dr. Richard Sylvester, a Long-Term Athletic Development advisor for Sport for Life (Canada) and strength and conditioning coach. Rich recently finished his PhD from Auckland University of Technology focusing on sprinting and jumping in youth female athletes and he shared his expertise with our ATH coaches on training youth athletes. Throughout his presentation, Rich discussed the nuances of developmentally appropriate training as youth athletes have been proven to adapt differently to training depending on their current maturation status and timing of their growth spurt. He also gave his insight on creating a quality sport experience. His coach delivery pillars are essential for getting the most out of kids while training: connection, context and challenge. Connecting with youth athletes helps to engage the learner, build a relationship and facilitate team building and cooperation, and most of all have fun! Context is key to give the kids information of why what they are doing is important, how it can benefit them and why they should care. This can help to generate interest and open up pathways to challenge each individual. Games and challenges can be used to make training more interesting and enjoyable, which for coaches, allows us to get the most out of our athletes. If you are interested in learning more about training youth athletes or our Student Athlete program, visit your local ATH and ask one of our coaches!

Check out some recent research from our sports performance research group! One of our students, José A. Martínez-Rodríguez had a chapter of his base running thesis published. Baseball coaches, do you only measure linear speed? If not this article could be very helpful! Thanks to his co-authors as well! Ryan L. Crotin, PhD, CSCS, RSCC, Jono Neville and John Cronin.

We are very appreciative of Dr. Tracey Clissold for spending some of her valuable time with our coaches. In our own coach education series, we dedicate time to learn from some of the best in the world and Tracey shared learnings from her own research on jumping and improving bone health in premenopausal women. In addition to research, Tracey is a lecturer in exercise science and physiology and population health and well-being, as well as a consultant for High Performance Sport New Zealand and a very accomplished marathon runner (4x Auckland Marathon Champion, World Masters Marathon Champion and 3x New Zealand Marathon Champion)! Check out some of the learnings below and ask one of your local ATH coaches - Osteoporosis is a reduction in bone density and quality, increasing fracture risk, and is a global public health issue. - Bone health should be focused on early in life, as peak bone mass is achieved in young adulthood, and a higher peak bone mass can delay osteoporosis onset. - Low energy availability and endurance/low impact sports are key issues affecting bone health. - The bone remodeling process involves resorption and formation, and low energy availability negatively affects this. - Optimizing bone health includes addressing low energy availability, consuming calcium and vitamin D, and brief high-impact loading. - Research shows that mechanical forces exceeding a threshold stimulate bone formation and increase bone mass. - A study on premenopausal women showed that a jump-landing program increased bone mineral density and content. - The research has significant potential to reduce osteoporosis costs and improve preventative healthcare.

PhD Student in Exercise and Sport Science at Auckland University of Technology. Sport Scientist at Athlete Training and Health.
I'm excited to share my recent blog post on the effects of exercise on mental wellness during the winter season, now live on Athlete Training and Health's website. As the colder months set in, staying active can play a crucial role in supporting our mental health. I explore the science behind this and offer practical insights in the article.

ATH Sports Science leading the way!
I've been thinking a lot about wearable resistance (WR) over the last several years while working on my thesis and it was one of the reasons why I wanted to pursue research in the first place. I believe this form of loaded throwing can be useful in throwing athletes, particularly baseball pitchers. More evidence is needed for athletes, parents, coaches, etc to determine if WR is the right tool for each individual but at least some information is underway. Using WR to overload throwing has traditionally been difficult to incorporate because arm speeds, specifically in baseball, are so incredibly high (7,000+ deg/sec). However, technology and training gear have improved and viable options for WR training can be used with throwing. WR (at least in this context) is meant to add load without disrupting technique and speed. Throwing with a standard, 5-oz ball produces high forces throughout the throwing motion - shoulder compressive forces exceed body weight during deceleration among others. Because of the high joint angle velocities associated with throwing, adding grams or ounces into the throw can really increase force output, particularly if the additional load does not compromise speed. Exposure to these high forces with additional load could help prepare the arm (and body) to withstand the demands of throwing throughout the course of a baseball season. Throwing with WR presents a couple unique advantages: the variability of load placement and the ability to overload the arm past ball release. Understanding inertia is fundamental for considering load placement and throwing with WR. Simply, the further away the mass is from the axis of rotation (i.e., shoulder), the greater the inertia and effort needed to complete the throw. Let’s use 7-oz (~200-g) as an example - a weighted ball will have the most inertia, 200-g secured to the middle of the forearm (Figure B) will have less inertia and 200-g secured to the middle of the upper arm (Figure A) will have the least inertia. Additionally, because the additional load of wearable resistance is placed on the body and not released during the throw, the deceleration and follow through phases experience overload. Loading the throwing motion post-ball release could be beneficial for strengthening the posterior shoulder musculature responsible for slowing the arm. #baseball #pitching #wearableresistance #weightedballs

The Chief Athletic Performance Office at Athlete Training and Health of Auckland University of Technology recently published a thesis on Exogen by LILA. Check out what he has to say about us and how it benefits World Class Athletes across different Sports ??
I recently had this chapter from my thesis published in Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research and it was so much fun to work on. Wearable resistance is very different to training with weighted balls and can add some variability to training. Thanks to my supervisors/co-authors John Cronin, Ryan L. Crotin, PhD, CSCS, RSCC and Matthew Cross! Next month I'll get to present the abstract for The American Baseball Biomechanics Society at MLB Winter Meetings!

??Second article is out now ?? Traditional linear running measures are important predictors of running single bases; however, other factors seem important for the curvilinear running of two bases. It may be that base runners need to be assessed and trained for linear and curvilinear sprint ability rather than assuming that improvement in linear speed via assessment and training, translates to improved multiple base running.
