#Variability

Always interesting and encouraging to see the variability of different attacks. In this example, Grant Chang uses his attractors gained from years of basketball training to run a modified slide approach for this Back 1 perfectly set up by the @cjcardy_vb2028. Also working on a front 1 with similar mechanics but more work to be done. Attacking isn’t just about power. Variability creates different opportunities, deceptiveness, and spreads the forces the body experiences to other areas. Keep exploring! #volleyball #volleyballplayer #train #athlete #sport #variability

Warm-up highlights 24/25 🍿🎥🎬 🏀 My warm up recipe: Vary it. Engage them. Let them explore, adapt, and solve problems. Make it unpredictable. Keep it progressive and stimulating. 🏀 #smallsidedgames #variability #preparation #warmup #warmups #engagement #solvingproblems #constraintsledapproach #basketball

Variability. Same player. Different situation. Different arm motion. Much like a golfer chooses different clubs and adjusts their swing to meet the demands of different situations on a golf course, so too a quarterback has to make adjustments to their arm path in order to accomplish different outcomes in different situations. Notice the shorter motion (especially break phase) for the quick, short pass over the middle, vs the “normal” break for the more standard, midrange throw. The best players can make these adjustments to the length, angles, and position of their throwing motion on the fly to fit whatever situation they find themselves in during a game. #variability #qbmechanics #qbtraining #qbmotion #qb1 #quarterback #nfl

Why are variable rewards so powerful? Variability spikes a craving reflex in the brain. The mystery of chance is a magnet that draws us in. #Motivation #Technology #PersonalDevelopment #Entrepreneurship #Productivity #variability

Include more variability in your plyometric training! Take this concept, apply it, and watch your movement ability in your sport take off #variability #plyometrics #movement #sports #training

"noise" When we acquire a new skill, we want to harness the natural inconsistency and variability in our bodies rather than treating it as "noise" and attempting to tame it through repetition. These motor learning exercises will aid in the acquisition of new skills for shoulder stability. #noise #variability

Working on this technical stuff! Any recommendations? 🤔🎿 #keeponworking #technic #skiroller #treadmill #technictraining #improvement #variability

“Complex systems are weakened, even killed, when deprived of stressors.” Your body is a complex system. If you perform the same routine day in and day out, you become weakened to variability. This holds true for movement patterns – You can get really good at the low bar back squat, but what if you can’t split squat proficiently? What does this say when you get in sport and the same exact movement doesn’t present itself twice? If you only do one thing, you are only prepared for one thing. Not only is it a good idea to use a high degree of variability to be more resilient to soreness, but also to reduce the overuse seen from performing the same exact pattern over and over. Throw a decent amount of variability into training and the body adapts to become more Antifragile over time. #antifragile #variability #movementvariability #3dathlete #volleyball #tavolleyball #texasadvantagevolleyball

Variable Practice Fast bowlers are better developed with a spectrum of intensity @pacelablimited training sessions always have a variation theme running throughs its core I’m firmly against drilling for drilling sake searching for that ideal one size fits all model Repetition with repetition is an outdated way of coaching fast bowlers. Every delivery performed is always different. So a 30min bowling session consists of between 30-40 different deliveries. They are never the same. So the repetition for practice of the same technique argument falls way short at this point Even when working on pinnacle max effort run and gun bowling I will always intersperse submaximal bowling deliveries to create a VARIABLE PRACTICE environment Whether a different method of bowling, different weighted balls, different run up lengths or different INTENT LEVELS. Simply doing the same thing is not in the PaceLab Training System Why? Avoids injuries due to the constant change in delivery. Based on the VARIABILITY OVERUSE HYPOTHESIS The variable bowling ladder is a great method to use. It’s a form of wave loading of bowling INTENT. Based on ‘REWZON LONG JUMP STUDY’ “ which showed that a group of long jumpers that would jump, trying to hit a series of target distances, the majority of which were submaximal, eventually out-jumped another group of jumpers that simply jumped all-out every jump” @justflysports So basically it’s not about bowling flat out every delivery. It’s about setting clear speeds that the bowler has to hit. They vary from max effort to sub maximal. This also creates a strong awareness from the bowler on what max effort is. Understanding RPE becomes easier. Basically, bowling for a spectrum of speeds will yield a more robust motor programme than a bowler who only tries to grind maximal speeds every single attempt. It also is less taxing on the nervous system, which allows a lower stress response over time, and better adaptation” It’s not about training like this every session but it’s about listening to the bowler and following the ball speeds. Again PACELAB AREG is the only solution. If a bowler doesn’t feel it, just simply perform a BOWLING LADDER.

When coaches hear the word variability, many immediately associate it with chaos, complexity, or training methods suited only for advanced athletes. The assumption is that beginners need strict repetition, rigid positions, and perfectly consistent execution before any variability is introduced. • At #uofstrength, we see it differently. •• Even at the foundation level, we build in small, intentional variability, not to complicate training, but to accelerate learning. ••• Our goal: Similar outcomes & different movement solutions. •••• 🔹Low outcome variability = same result 🔹High functional variability = different paths to get there ••••• Example: In a goblet squat, a partner provides unpredictable tactile information. The youthlete pauses 2–3 seconds when contact occurs. •••••• It sharpens awareness, builds decision-making, and helps the individual feel the movement instead of just copying it. •••••••• For novices, variability should be: ▪️Simple ▪️Limited in scope ▪️Directly tied to the movement goal ▪️Used to guide exploration, not create confusion ••••••••• We’re not making exercises harder. We’re making the nervous system smarter. Because resistance training isn’t just about building strength, it’s about building movers who can solve problems. #athleticdevelopment #weightroom #forcedevelopment #strength #power #squat #variability #motorlearning #constraintsledapproach #movewithintent #trainwithapurpose

There’s no normal blood sugar, so stop asking! 🤭 As with all things in life, it’s hard not comparing yourself to others. Glycemic targets vary situationally, and change throughout the diabetes spectrum. That’s something that IS normal. So allow yourself grace ok? Most target glucose ranges are based on: • age • lifestyle & social factors • neurological status • circulatory or vascular damage • medication history • pregnancy • and so much more! What’s your optimal glucose range? Do you aim to stay in it for 70% or more of the day (16-17 hours) #Glucose #Variability #CGM ______________________________________________ The Diabetes Collective ®️ by Rachael Sood, NP, CDCES 📍2315 Florida Street, Suite230, Mandeville, La | USA 📱 (985) 373-1148 ✉️ [email protected] 🌎 https://www.thediabetescollective.net ______________________________________________
