Summary

Dr. Blazevich gives his insight into topics that the sports performance and sport science industry tends to be a bit polarized on, such as static stretching and potentiation in warming up for a competition. He also goes in-depth on loaded stretching protocols and benefits, as well as muscle fascicle length concepts and ideas on eccentric…

Dr. Anthony Blazevich is a Professor of Biomechanics in the School of Medical and Health Sciences and Director of the Centre for Exercise and Sports Science Research (CESSR). He teaches biomechanics and neurophysiology and is well-known for his research in sports biomechanics, neurophysiology, and strength and conditioning. Dr. Blazevich is an expert in muscle and tendon physiology, nervous system signaling, and other important facets of athletic performance.

Dr. Blazevich makes his home in Perth, Australia. He holds a Ph.D. in Sports Biomechanics from Southern Cross University and has earned multiple national and international awards, including the Certificate of Research Excellence, Highest Number Higher Degree by Research Completions in Faculty 2014, Edith Cowan University.
