- You have to practice moves at game speed otherwise if you get to the game and try to perform faster there will be extra signals to the CNS from proprioceptors like muscles spindles and GTOs that will fog up the neural circuitry & cause you to miss the shot, drop the pass, etc.

- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiDuring imagery, you are basically recreating space time in your brain from a previous experience that is allowing you to continue to work on a practiced skill purely through memory Neural circuitry that was fired during actual practice can fire at a low level through imagery
- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiEven guarding someone in basketball, the guard with the quick first step is going to make it harder for the defender to stick their foot in the ground and decelerate if they were to get crossed compared to the guard that the defender is already quicker than AI is hard to guard
00:00 - There is a potentiation-fatigue continuum with regards to the nervous system At a certain level there is a threshold where the volume of high intensity bouts changes from a potentiation effect to a fatiguing effect For potentiation to work, volume must stay below the threshold
- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiThis is a function of the feedforward system of the cerebellum ⬇️
- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiOne day, he finally decided to go on the journey At the foot of the mountain, he met the first traveler He asked: “How did you get up the mountain & what did you see at the top?” The traveler shared his path & the view he had
- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiI tend to believe that the stress of deceleration is reduced & the ability to redirect momentum becomes easier in a game situation where an athlete is accelerating at a sub-maximal rate The athlete accelerating at their maximal rate would have a harder time redirecting mass
- Replying to @ThayneBukowskiFor example, a corner in press man against a wideout. Does the DB that is a better accelerator have an easier time redirecting their momentum to decelerate because they are running at a sub-maximal speed compared to the wideout who cannot accelerate as well?
00:00 - Replying to @ThayneBukowskiUse biomechanics to find joint position, torque etc and input these as the correct motor signals to be sent through the motor areas of the brain that would resemble the performed skill — very simple example is shooting a free throw
