@Sano what kind of degree do you have for real?

'The study said:
In the maximal jumping test, the take-off velocity increased from 2.56 (0.24) m.s(-1) to 2.77 (0.18) m.s(-1) ( P<0.05). In the submaximal jumping of 50% of the maximum, energy expenditure decreased from 660 (110) to 502 (68) J.kg(-1).min(-1) ( P<0.001) while, simultaneously, ME increased from 37.2 (8.4)% to 47.4 (8.2)% ( P<0.001)."

@Sano so the research that had only mechanical efficiency data according to you had also force and power data if you knew how to derive them

The distance that the foot travels is the same before and after training so

Δx'=Δx

a' t'^2 = a t^2

a'/a= t^2/t'^2

v'/v=t/t'

a'/a= v^2/v'^2

F'/F= a'/a = v'^2 / v^2 =17% increase in force

Btw power and velocity are correlated by
P=F Δx/Δt
P'/P=F'Δv'/ FΔv
P'/P= v'^3/v^3 = 26% increase in power

Answering to a kid sunday afternoon.. I'm done.

@Sano is that you in the gif? <TheWire1>

@Sano ask your tuition fees back
@thugpoet you can't do otherwise

As a coach it's my job to take the theory and apply it in a way that guys from many different walks of life can apply it.

Go into any gym talking this stuff and they will look at you like you've lost your mind.

If you want to prioritize the SS cycle in your training that's fine.

I prefer to focus on skills. vs attributes
