Muscles Involved: All major muscle groups, particularly those responsible for deceleration (quads, hamstrings, calves, and posterior chain).

Type of Training: Slow eccentric lifts, plyometric landings, tempo training, and overload eccentric movements.

Where It’s Most Used: Deceleration, injury prevention, explosive power development.

Components of Movement: Force absorption, neuromuscular control, and tendon stiffness.
