Velocity Loss and Muscle Damage Markers: Evidence Review
Sánchez-Medina and Pareja-Blanco's data on VL% thresholds vs creatine kinase, lactate, and ammonia — and how much recovery cost each threshold adds.
Deload Week Protocol with VBT: Auto-Detected Recovery Cycles
Velocity-based deload week protocol using objective fatigue markers. Auto-detected timing, planned deload strategies, comparison with calendar deloads.
Why Deload Frequency Matters More Than Intensity: A VBT-Driven Research Review
Cutting intensity isn't the lever that matters most for recovery — deload frequency is. Six RCTs re-read through IMU and VBT data confirm it.
How to Program a Deload Week Correctly: IMU-Based Recovery Guide
A poorly timed deload can erase weeks of gains. See the 5 IMU recovery markers that flag it, plus the exact volume and intensity cuts to make.
Why Jump Height Drops with Fatigue: The Neuromuscular Science
A 5-15% jump height decrease under fatigue isn't random. Neuromuscular fatigue, RFD loss, and SSC decline explain it, backed by 800Hz IMU tracking data.
Why Rest Time Affects Power Output: ATP-PCr Recovery, Neural Fatigue, and Sensor-Based Optimization
Cutting rest short kills power output. See what ATP-PCr resynthesis and neural fatigue data, measured via 800Hz IMU, say about the ideal window.
How to Train Power as a Master Athlete: The Complete 40+ Explosiveness Guide
An 800Hz IMU study of 320 master athletes found 8-12% lower bar speed at the same %1RM after 40. This 12-week program adjusts load and recovery around it.
How Many Rest Days Do You Need for Strength Training: A Recovery Science Guide
Still sore days after lifting? The 48-72 hour recovery window, nervous system fatigue signs, and VBT-based monitoring to set a schedule that fits you.
How to Deload Properly: Half Volume vs Lighter Weights
Cutting volume in half, lowering the weight, or resting fully — which deload protects your gains? Compared against research, with a step-by-step protocol.
How to Recover From a Bad Night of Sleep: A Science-Based Training Protocol
One bad night doesn't mean skip the gym. Use CMJ height and bar velocity readings to decide objectively, then follow the protocol that speeds recovery.
Why Am I Always Tired After Workout? 7 Real Causes of Poor Recovery
Exhausted after every session even with enough sleep? Seven sport-science causes and the specific markers coaches use to catch each one early.
Foam Rolling Before vs After Workout: A Research-Based Analysis
Foam roll before training and you may lose strength; skip it after and DOMS can worsen. We analyzed 25 RCTs plus IMU data to find the timing that works.
