Pacey Performance Podcast

On this week’s Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob speaks to strength and conditioning expert Joseph Coyne. He’s back for part 2 following his initial chat with Rob on this very podcast back in July 2021. This time around, Joseph is here to talk about jump profiling.

This leads into Joseph’s sport relevance classification, including unilateral/bilateral work, the effect of direction and approach, and how different surfaces can impact on jumping. Joseph also answers questions about what an athlete’s movement signature tells us about how to improve performance, whether athletes and coaches should concentrate on force or velocity, and how to assess whether athletes need to improve sequencing and coordination to see improved results. There’s also discussion of Pierre Samozino’s force of velocity profile, and signposting to more expert
