Inside Lacrosse Features Athletic Edge's Lacrosse Shooting Biomechanics Research November 12, 2009 Inside Lacrosse Magazine gets the first sneek peek at Athletic Edge Lacrosse's latest foray into mastering the biomechanics of the lacrosse shot.  Featured in this month's issue, Athletic Edge Lacrosse Performance Coach and Biomechanics Expert, Ben Shear, discusses the body's internal workings during those few critical seconds before, during and after a lacrosse shot. What is revealed is the need for training protocols to correct and enhance shooting mechanics. AEL's shooting artist, Joe Walters, underwent this extensive research project to help educate coaches, players and lacrosse performance trainers about the physical requirements needed for effective lacrosse shooting. |

As shown in Inside Lacrosse, the study included the simultaneous use of cutting-edge, 3-D Biomechanical technology (which measures body segment motion, timing and speeds), wireless Electro Myograph (EMG) body sensors (which measure percentage of maximal muscle firing and order of firing), and force plates (which measure horizontal and vertical ground forces applied by a player, allowing them to create speed and power). |
