This isn’t just about adding resistance. It’s about preparing the body for faster, more demanding forces – the kind that show up in running, landing, cutting, and sport.
Because most lower body overload injuries / issues don’t only happen when things are heavy… They happen when forces are applied too quickly, or directed into tissues that aren’t prepared to handle them.
This system is designed to help you make clear, objective decisions.
So you know:
- What capacity is missing
- Why it matters for the task
- And how to progress it—without guessing
In this course we target specific joint actions, so that you can control where force is going in the body because if you’re not directing force into the right joint and tissue… you’re not building the capacity that actually transfers.
At the core of the course is our classification system, which allows you to match the right strategy to the right problem.
Each category represents a distinct, trainable physical quality:
- Concentric Rate of Force Development
→ Can they produce force quickly within a short time window?
Focused on improving acceleration, intent, and rapid force output - Eccentric Rate of Force Development
→ Can they dampen and distribute force quickly?
Focused on improving deceleration capacity and tolerance to higher loading rates - Super Slow Stretch-Shortening Cycle
→ Can they coordinate eccentric to concentric transitions under lower velocities and longer time constraints?
Focused on early-stage exposure, control, and tissue conditioning - Slow Stretch-Shortening Cycle
→ Can they manage higher forces with moderate time pressure?
Focused on building force tolerance during dynamic movement with longer contact times - Fast Stretch-Shortening Cycle
→ Can they handle high-speed, reactive force demands?
Focused on developing stiffness, elasticity, and rapid force exchange
You will learn how to manipulate:
- Force (load, intensity)
- Time (contact duration, rate of force development)
- Velocity (entry speed, exit intent)
- And distribution (which joint and tissue is taking the load)
This system can be applied across a wide range of populations. From early-stage rehab… To tendon pain and joint issues… All the way through to return-to-sport and high-performance environments.
It gives you a clear progression from low-speed, controlled force exposure to higher-speed, & reactive plyometric demands. So you can meet your clients where they are, and take them where they need to go.
This course gives you the tools to build real, transferable capacity. Not by guessing. Not by throwing in random drills. But through structured, targeted, and progressive exposure to force.
