ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR EVENTS
The Collaborate Sports Interactive Webinars focuses on real-world learning, immersive discussion and collaboration.
Speakers will utilise the session to provide thought-provoking discussion and reflection as opposed to a lecture-style webinar. So, take a look at the sessions below and sign up to join us as part of your own personal development!
Topic: Constraint Based Programming
Collaborator: Connor Heeney - Head of Strength & Conditioning / Performance Sport Science Coordinator - Liverpool John Moores University
When: 7th January - 730pm GMT
Conor is an accredited S&C coach (UKSCA) with over ten years of professional S&C experience, coaching Olympians, Paralympians, world-champions and athletes from more than 40 sports across grassroots to professional levels. He heads the S&C service and coordinates the wider performance sport science provision at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), and lectures across Levels 4–7. He also consults internationally, including European football clubs with NYSA Sweden. Additionally, Conor specialises in strength and conditioning for combat sports and is about to begin a PhD at LJMU exploring the assessment and development of punch performance in elite professional boxers which will be the basis for the webinar.
By joining this interactive session you will:
• Explore how a systematic, constraint-led methodology can guide athlete preparation in combat sports.
• Identify the key physical and mechanical determinants of effective punch performance and how to profile them practically.
• Evaluate the controllables and uncontrollables that influence training during a combat-sport camp, including scheduling, sparring variability and injury-risk factors.
• Understand how weight-making creates additional constraints that shape training priorities, fatigue management and decision-making across camp.
• Design flexible, constraint-led S&C sessions that adapt to the athlete’s changing training status and consider fighter psychology.

Topic: Task-specific neuromuscular fatigue monitoring using GPS
Collaborator: Michael Gerhardy - Co-Founder of RunUp Performance
When: 10th February - 730pm GMT
Michael is a soon-to-be-completed PhD Researcher at Deakin University who investigated the influence of neuromuscular fatigue from running-based HIIT on adaptations to resistance training during concurrent training. In addition, Michael specialises in helping teams/organisations improve their neuromuscular fatigue monitoring practices in applied environments. Michael is also the Creator of RunUp Performance fatigue monitoring software, which uses GPS IMU data to detect neuromuscular fatigue in individuals via changes in running strategies over time, which helps add another layer of fatigue monitoring for coaches without extra burden on athletes.
Learning outcomes:
The importance of understanding neuromuscular fatigue and its task-specific nature.
Current approaches for monitoring neuromuscular fatigue in athletes and why we can do better as practitioners.
Identify and understand the key metrics associated with neuromuscular fatigue during running.
Taking advantage of the technology you already use to monitor running-specific neuromuscular fatigue.
How to create a monitoring workflow useful for everyday practice using RunUp Performance software.
