Explaining James Harden’s “put on the brakes”, rapid deceleration ability via biomechanics and sports science | Dr. Rajpal Brar, DPT breaks down James Harden’s - NBA and Houston Rockets superstar - ability to rapidly “put on the brakes” and decelerate to come to a stop which is a key part of what makes him one of the toughest covers in NBA history. Here’s a table of contents, header (sub-headings): - 0:00 Intro - 0:28 Balance and low center of gravity (balance, get low) - 1:00 Coordination and weight shifts (in sync, steps on the brakes) - 2:26 Neuromuscular control and eccentric strength (elite control & strength, other examples) - 4:15 Harnessing leverage (counterforce braking) For those at work or the hard of hearing, I've transcribed subtitles on YouTube so sound isn't required. For reference, I’m a DPT (Doctor of Physio) and youth basketball coach well-versed in sports science and biomechanics, and owner of 3CB Performance — online health content, telehealth services and sports rehab & performance clinics in West LA and Valencia, CA.
