Prof JB Morin delivered an insightful presentation at the UKSCA 2024 annual conference, discussing the evolution of sprint mechanics and speed training over the past decade. Key topics included force-velocity profiling, sprint mechanics, and the importance of individualised athlete training.

Dr. Jonathan Hughes delivered an insightful presentation on eccentric training at the UKSCA 2024 conference, exploring its role in improving athletic performance across various sports. He discussed how eccentric training helps with deceleration and high-speed movements, emphasising the importance of using advanced methods to measure training transfer into performance gains.

Dr. Jamie Tallent shared valuable insights at the UKSCA 2024 conference, focusing on micro-dosing and high-frequency training strategies in elite performance environments. His work with organisations like the Royal Ballet and elite sports teams demonstrates how adapting training can optimise physical performance, even in high-load environments.
