J-B Morin led a team of sports scientists that investigated the effects of resisted sprinting at maximum power production. The researchers came together to build off their extensive body of work in horizontal force production, sprint kinetics and optimizing resisted sprinting. The study involved athletes from rugby, soccer and track and field. The rugby players in the study […]
Creatine loading protocols have been remarkably stable amidst other advancements in sports performance nutrition.
