JPV Sports Science & Athlete Development

There’s a significant gap in the region for supporting women develop their performance!

Some coaches believe that there isn’t a difference in coaching men and women, a long standing belief that needs to change!

Here’s what they miss that we don’t!

Women have around 50% of the strength capacity in lower limbs compared to men.

Women have around 30% of the strength capacity in the upper body compared to men.

Joint hyper-mobility and laxity is commonly far different and needs special attention.

Coaching approaches are far different for women and men.

Exercise order, loading patterns, and your coaching style are some of the elements that need adjustment to best support women become the best that they can be!

Women need performance development support as much, if not more than men to withstand the rigours of their sport.

Don’t settle for being lumped in with the same systems as men, it’s just not going to get you the best outcomes.

Let’s start a conversation about how we can support you to become the best athlete you can be, and why our performance development systems for women lead the pack in this region 💪

You aren’t serious if you avoid these.

Study after study, no matter what is thrown at squats regarding concerns for axial loading, knee health, lower back pain, they still shine IF done correctly.

The squat pattern is interwoven in sports performance.

Yes single leg work has its importance place in athletic development.

But sheer maximal strength and neuromuscular development comes from squatting.

You also lay the foundations of building a body capable of handling the rigours of Olympic Lifting, and there’s no debate in any circle that these lifts and derivatives are essential for serious athletes.

And the best part, there is so much variation possible.

Our athletes squat each week.

They will continue to squat each week.

Because the original still represents the best.

Disclaimer- yes axial loading is not recommended in some cases of injury, rehabilitation, and those with significantly impaired motor patterns or hyper-mobility where adjustments are required.

Time to get to work 💪

Three evidence based keys to break less!

1: Ensure key muscle groups that oppose each other are balanced within their ideal strength ratios (e.g quadriceps and hamstrings).

2. Ensure your side to side variation in strength outputs (unilateral strength) in your arms and legs don’t exceed 10%.

3. Test your power outputs at the start of training to get real-time feedback on your fatigue levels. Pushing when fatigued is a great way to increase your chances of getting injured!

How do we achieve the above for our athletes?

With our comprehensive performance testing technology from Strength By Numbers

It’s simple, break less and have more opportunities on the field/court/track.

Here’s what sports science has to say, so take note!

Training for maximal strength, power, and speed (if done correctly) has a full restorative time of 48 hours maximum.

And it’s nice to get a superimposed effect in some sessions by training prior to this maximum time, but the best Coaches can get you a progression with less volume and faster recovery than the 48 hours.

That means, 2 sessions per week is really (as shown by evidence) a maintenance training frequency.

3 sessions per week per week is where we start to see some good progressions, but if you want the best outcomes in the shortest amount of time?

Hit 4 sessions per week.

Now we have a wide range of athletes that can only commit to 2 sessions per week given their heavy sporting schedules, and with our experience we can still get positive progressions.

However,

Getting faster, more explosive, and more injury resilient requires athletes to prioritise THIS training in their schedules.

Why?

Because speed, power, and strength are NEURAL adaptations, so when you are fatigued you naturally limit how well you can activate your neuromuscular system.

Bottom Line:

1. We aren’t here to tell you what you want to hear.

2. You commit the time, we deliver the pathway to make you a weapon in your sport.

3. Consider structuring your week to get your training with us when you are less fatigued so we can get MORE from your neuromuscular system, which means you get faster, more powerful, and stronger.

Remember that what we do isn’t something to dabble in to get ahead of the rest.

It’s the baseline to keep up with the rest.

If you understand that speed, power, and strength can change the game and make you stand out in your sport, and you are a committed individual that want to really see what they are capable of achieving, let’s start a conversation about how you can get where you want to be.

Looking forward to your message 💪
