361 12 Deceleration is one of the most demanding and overlooked aspects of athletic performance. Athletes must slow down rapidly during changes of direction or sudden stops, placing significant strain on their muscles and joints. Dr. Damien Harper's pioneering work in this area highlights the critical role of the quadriceps in deceleration, especially their eccentric function, and provides valuable return-to-play markers for safely reintegrating athletes after injury. This framework has been a backbone to our ACL rehab at Offaly Physio and Performance Lab.
