📚 New study:
🔑 Do you adress the deceleration as a key element in vertical jump performance and what does it mean to you?
👥 64 ACLR athletes vs 47 controls
🦵 6 months post hamstring graft
📉 Lower jump height & power
⚡ Hidden deceleration deficits in operated limb
📊 Standard tests miss these asymmetries
🏋♂ Rehab must train braking & eccentric control
🎯 Return to sport is not just how high you jump, but how well you absorp forces
