Smart Kinetics

Smart Kinetics The mission of Smart Kinetics is to help you become a top level performer in your sport. Our training methods might not seem very conventional.

With 15 years of experience, our training approach is based on:

- Structural Training;
- Physical Performance Optimization;
- Results-Driven Mindset. We are getting into a new realm of knowledge when it comes to optimizing physical performance. The respect for human biology and its right interaction with the environment potentiates results in a large scale. We apply practical knowledge from studi

es of fascia and human biomechanics, breathing and movement patterns and recovery techniques. Smart Kinetics want to ensure that the athlete becomes highly efficient in terms of energy use. The mind-body connection is the other extremely important aspect for us. An optimized body with a mindset for results, that triggers the right actions and behaviors, is the recipe for success.

⚽️ Workshop «Strength Training for Football Players»

This monday 17th of April, I will have a workshop about strength training and its practical applications in football players.

We will go through:
- Strength and its different manifestations;
- The body as a tensegrity system;
- Recent literature on injury prevention and performance;
- Football biomechanics;
- Exercises and practical applications.

The workshop will be at Viking Konferansesenter in SR Bank Arena, at 16:30.

It is a free workshop, but since the seats are limited, we appreciate if you send PM here or email me to [email protected] 👍

Hope to see you there ⚽️

📖 This is the main conclusion of a meta-analysis of 13 studies, about the impact of strength training in jumping and acceleration performance of professional football players (Nuñez J et al, 2021).

Overall, the different strength-oriented training schemes produced similar performance improvements, which seem not to depend on the training strategy. Strength training appears to have a lower effect when applied during in-season than when applied in pre-season periods.

🧠 In the 13 studies analyzed, the great majority of the exercises included on the strength training programs were either bilateral, single planar or both. Very few exercises included rotational forces.

🧠 The idea that strength training has a positive, but limited impact, is clearer everyday. Traditional strength exercises are good for injury prevention, but not so effective in physical performance.

🧠 The SAID principle (specific adaptation to imposed demands) is the key factor. Football is made of multi-planar actions. Therefore, the physical training should be focused on multi-planar actions that correlates to the match biomechanics.

📖 Other studies also refer that the SAID principle is a key pillar in training, and therefore, football drills should simulate the biomechanical and physiological demands of the sport (2,3).

📖 This is the main conclusion of a study from 2019 conducted by Rodríguez-Osorio et al., who compared different loads on a 6-week training protocol of resisted sprints with change of direction (1).
The subjects where tested before and after in different change of direction drills, 30 meters sprint and countermovement jump.
Individuals who had a load of 12,5% body weight during the 6 weeks of training, showed better results in all the tests, compared to those with no load or with 50% body weight load.

🧠 The conclusions of this study seems quite obvious, specially if we recall the SAID principle (specificity). Being football a sport where change of direction, short sprints and jumping are among the main actions, makes sense that if we add load to the training drills, the performance will increase.
🧠 It is, however, noticeable that if the load is too high (50% body weight) it hinders the performance. With such high load, only countermovement jump and 10 meters sprint improved after the 6 weeks.
📖 Other studies also refer that the SAID principle is a key pillar in training, and therefore, football drills should simulate the biomechanical and physiological demands of the sport (2,3).

📖 These are the conclusions of a meta-analysis published in 2021, with the aim to evaluate the effects of physical training on sprint, jump, and change of direction ability among soccer players.

🧠 The beneficial effects of Complex Training (combination of strength training and plyometrics) are more visible after longer interventions (over 8 weeks) and among players with greater competitive level (professional vs amateur).

⚽️ 10 studies where reviewed in this meta-analysis and no injuries related to physical training were reported. Overall, this physical training combination seems safe and effective compared to soccer training alone for the improvement of the physical fitness of soccer players.

📖 These are the conclusions of an observational study published in 2019, where 7 athletes playing in top football clubs in Europe where followed during 2 seasons.
On the first season, the athletes had the traditional physical training approach given by the club. On the next season, they had the services of a personal strength and conditioning coach.

🧠 A justification can be that specific physical performance is not prioritized during competitions where technical and tactical interventions need more attention. Therefore, personal coaches’ strategies should be utilized individually to strengthen the athletes according to their actual demands.

⚽️ The study aimed to observe injury incidence, match-play statistics, and market value of top elite soccer players during seasons before and after a personal strength and conditioning coach, without reasons and commitment to set up a causal relationship between them.
