Strength is more than just a physical quality; it is also about the neural circuitry that governs it. The better you train your body to respond to specific signals, the more effectively the entire circuitry responds, resulting in greater strength. This is evident in your anatomy when you achieve it.
Unlike electricity, the electrical signals in our body do not function on a constant threshold. Instead, there are multiple threshold points in every movement, depending on muscle size. For instance, it is like an electric wire plugged into several outlets through different velocity stabilizers before reaching the final output. My research is centered around delving deep into this circuitry system and strengthening the circuits that are responsible for performance, depending on the sport being played, or finding the source of breakage/leakage and repairing it.
While I am not an academician and lack the time, resources, or funding to follow all the protocols of a research paper, it does not stop me from conducting studies that, in my opinion, can make a significant difference in one’s health and performance. My research begins with adapted practices; however, I bring a new perspective by exploring science in-depth. As a result, my research is not just a health blog or a personal opinion or a one-time experience. Instead, it is an ongoing study conducted in real-time environments, with hundreds of athletes as case studies. I continue to delve deeper into this topic, and the journey seems endless.

Background: The below write-up, in my opinion is the first in the world investigating role of footwear in cricketing injuries. In my opinion, it has never been explored before even though we have had a history of cricketers shortening their career owing to hamstring or lower back injuries.
Diving deep into the complexities of cricket spikes with regard to ground contact time and how it could be a factor in hamstring or lower back injuries in cricketers: https://umeshchhikara.com/2020/03/31/cricket-spikes-injuries/
Once you have studied the role of spikes…the below mentioned published research article will reason out why weight training during a season may lure injuries.
