Join our upcoming ECSS Webinar!
Dear [Name],
ECSS is pleased to announce the following webinar:
Explosive Strength – From Fundamentals to Application
Date: Tuesday, 28 April 2026
Time: 15:00 – 17:00 CEST
Area: Biomechanics & Motor Control (BM)
Chairs: Prof. Markus Gruber, Assoc. Prof. Christian Couppé
Speakers: Prof. Per Aagaard, Dr Luca Ruggiero, Assoc. Prof. Ana Pereira
Across many team and individual sports, explosive strength is a key performance determinant. The ability to generate force rapidly underpins sprinting, jumping, rapid changes of direction and powerful sport-specific actions. Athletes who can translate strength into speed at the right moment often gain a decisive competitive advantage.
The ECSS Webinar ‘Explosive Strength – From Fundamentals to Application’, is intended for sport scientists and professionals who wish to expand their knowledge of the mechanisms, training methods and practical implementation of explosive-type strength training, i.e. training optimised to increase rapid force capacity (rate of force development, RFD).
The objective of the webinar is to integrate the most recent scientific findings with pragmatic application methodologies. In three concise lectures, distinguished experts in the field of sport science will provide a comprehensive overview of the biomechanical, physiological and practical training fundamentals of explosive strength development. Participants will not only acquire theoretical background knowledge but also receive specific advice on how to integrate this into their everyday training routine.
Through three expert-led presentations, this webinar bridges scientific evidence with practical implementation. Designed for sport scientists, coaches and performance practitioners, the session delivers clear insights into both the mechanisms and application of explosive strength training.
