158: JB Morin on Sprint Forces and Hamstring Risk Factors | Sponsored by SimpliFaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

Today’s episode features JB Morin, who returns to the show after being guest #12, 3 years ago. JB is a world-leading researcher in the world of sprint biomechanics and forces, as well as resisted sprinting, force-velocity profiling and sprint injury factors. He is currently Full Professor at the Faculty of Sport Sciences of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (France). There he is a member of the Laboratory of Human Motor Function, Education Sport and Health. On our last podcast, JB went in depth into force-velocity profiling for sprinting, as well as the role of heavy sled sprint training and much more.



JB is currently working to bring more clarity to the puzzle of sprint enhancement and hamstring injury prevention. As research is quickly shedding more light on various factors in human performance, especially in the sprint sector, I was excited to bring JB back for another show.



On this episode, JB picks up where we left off, going over recent updates in sprint research and force velocity profiling. The main focus of this show is digging into sprint mechanics, fatigue, and hamstring injuries in sport. We’ll also get into ideas on correlation vs. causation in interpreting statistics and research, as well as recent ideas on the role of the foot and ankle in sprint performance.
