In the journey of understanding the neck’s role in concussion prevention, we have explored various principles related to neck training. Today, we focus on an aspect of muscular function that doesn’t always get the limelight but is paramount in safeguarding against concussions: the eccentric capacity of the neck muscles.
Muscles can perform 3 types of contractions: concentric, isometric, and eccentric, each having distinct characteristics and functions within the body......read more
Improving Neck Symmetry: The Balanced Approach To Concussion Prevention
When we talk about concussion prevention, much of the conversation revolves around protective gear, rules of the game, and awareness. However, a critical and often overlooked component is the structural integrity and strength symmetry of our neck muscles. In my previous post, I discussed the importance of multi-planar neck training. Since the neck moves the head in all three planes of motion, you must strengthen the neck in all three planes of motion. Today, we’re delving into the principle of improving neck strength symmetry and how this is of paramount importance in concussion prevention.....read more
