Oblique strains and tears routinely immobilize football quarterbacks, baseball hitters, golfers, and tennis pros — by utilizing the 1080 Quantum, rehab professionals can safely guide return-to-play protocols for this challenging injury.
“Negative results” should be an oxymoron, the sort of throwback phrase you use ironically to get a smug chuckle at the expense of earlier generations. But somehow the idea still has purchase around the scientific community. Not at the University of Guelph’s Human Performance and Health Research Laboratory. Dr. Jamie Burr and HPL graduate student […]
Ola Eriksrud and Vern Gambetta covered as much ground as they could in 45 minutes on a recent GAINcast interview. Highlights included Eriksrud’s perspectives on hamstring injuries, movement efficiency and the meaningless use of the word “core.” Ola Eriksrud is a professor of biomechanics and 1080 Motion’s director of research and development. Far from being […]
The kinetics of a 20-meter sprint may tell a coach more about an athlete’s ability than just their speed. Drs. Jeremy Townsend and Gerald Mangine used the 1080 Sprint to parse a 20-meter sprint and correlate the power, force and velocity to other assessment exercises with collegiate basketball players. Selecting exercises that efficiently and faithfully […]
Ola Eriksrud and his colleagues recently published the first study showing the reliability and validity of a hand reach-based movement assessment. Their test will allow researchers and coaches to explore the relationship between dynamic postural control, balance and functional mobility of whole-body movements in athletic development, rehabilitation and injury prevention. Nearly every upper extremity movement […]
Dr. Gerald Mangine recently co-authored the first study examining the effect of resisted sprinting on the kinetics of a subsequent sprint. His work with the 1080 Sprint raises the possibility of resisted and assisted sprinting as highly-specific means of post-activation potentiation. Only three studies had previously examined resisted sprinting as a means of inducing post-activation potentiation […]
