Get to know your GTO! How This Little Muscle Receptor Can Make You a Fast-Twitch Phenom
In this blog post, we delve into the role of the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) in building fast-twitch muscle fibers. By training our GTO to allow us to exert more force, we can recruit more muscle fibers, particularly fast-twitch fibers, leading to more explosive power in our movements. However, it's important to find the right balance and not overdo it, as training our GTO too frequently or too intensely can lead to decreased muscle activation and reduced gains. Read on to learn more about how your GTO can help you become a faster, stronger, and more explosive athlete
Unilateral Strength Training for Athletes: Enhancing Performance, Preventing Injuries
Unilateral strength training is a highly effective way for athletes to improve their performance and gain a competitive edge. By focusing on one limb or side of the body at a time, athletes can improve their balance, stability, muscle activation, and core strength, while reducing the risk of injury. In this article, we explore the benefits of unilateral strength training and provide a list of exercises targeted at specific muscle groups to help athletes achieve their goals. If you're looking to enhance your athletic performance, incorporating unilateral strength training into your training routine could be the solution you've been looking for.
