This week we discuss knee and ankle strength demands during deceleration tasks. The biggest takeaway is that from a short acceleration, 5 meters, both knee and ankle strength were significantly correlated to deceleration performance. However, with a 10 meter accelereation, knee extension strength variables were the only ones to relate to deceleration performance. This was a great discussion about constraining environments for deceleration and isokinetic testing, to possible ankle exercises to address deceleration.
