NBA announces Plantiga as an official partner through their 2024 Launchpad program.

Time-to-peak acceleration and time-to-peak velocity provide insight into the different capacities of different athletes. Coaches can maximize sprinting performance by integrating them into programming.

Using vectors as a tool, we can identify the necessary movement and loading requirements to maximize sport-specific propulsive patterns and choose appropriate training interventions when there are shortcomings.

A breakthrough in wearable technology for health practitioners and elite sports teams

So how can we actually apply “applied biomechanics”? To start, we must build an intuition around how movement is quantified. There are two basic building blocks: scalars and vectors.

The human body does not function as a symmetrical machine. So why do we innately strive for an unachievable standard of symmetry as an indicator of our movement health and performance?

To make injury prediction a feasible endeavor, we need to study the athlete in their environment like it is a complex-adaptive system (because it is).

We all want to focus on the positive, but sometimes, putting too much faith in our ideas and beliefs leads us to miss the deficits that an athlete is presenting right in front of us.

Rehabilitation goals shouldn’t be limited to just treating symptoms. We need to prepare athletes physically and mentally for the sport-specific demands they will encounter after they return from injury.

How you can move beyond the “eye test” and Matt Jordan’s favourite rehab metrics for ACL recovery.

The first part of this webinar series focuses on the tools that Plantiga has built into the platform to break out of the mold of conventional movement assessment.

Performance asymmetry may not always indicate a deficit. How can you use it to drive performance and injury prevention decision-making?

The second part of this series focuses on implementation strategies for using these tools effectively.

Determining readiness to return to activity is multifactorial. Here are some actionable guidelines for leveraging asymmetry testing in your practice.

The third part of this series highlights various case studies and examples of the Plantiga system in action.

After 3+ years working with the NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS, the US and Canadian militaries, we are now launching our Plantiga platform for Sports Performance and Injury.

Research strongly supports the benefits of adding strength and power training to programs for endurance athletes.

Reactive strength is a key strength and power ability driving athletic performance. Learn how to use it to train peak performance.
