Have you ever used releasers for back squats? Brooklyn Campbell studied how weight releasers influence force production and how coaches can best use them to enhance strength and power adaptations in their athletes.

Brooklyn is the Coordinator of Sport Performance at the University of Houston, where she works with women's soccer and softball teams. She earned her Master's in Sports Physiology and Performance Coaching from Carroll University. While there, she collaborated on research examining accentuated eccentric loaded back squats with a team led by Dr. Suchomel.
