So the specific types of strength developed by an exercise will transfer best to sport when they are the types of strength that are most relevant
for COD ability.
High - velocity strength is likely less important
for COD ability (especially those with sharp angles) than for linear sprinting, but potentially more important
for COD ability than for vertical jumping.
This may suggest that stability requirements are not as important as might initially appear
for COD ability, although the limited research makes it difficult to be certain.

Therefore, improving
COD ability involves increasing the
ability to produce force at high velocities, and in progressively shorter periods of time, which suggests a need
for high - velocity strength.
Test of transfer (long - term): Gonzalo - Skok et al. (2016) observed a tendency
for force vector specificity to influence changes in
COD ability, when comparing squats with a volume - matched range of similar multi-directional exercises, including both horizontal and lateral movements.
But despite the extensive usage of strength training to improve
COD ability for sports, there is still little agreement regarding which exercises transfer best from the weights room to the playing field.
This suggests that strength training
for knee musculature (quadriceps and hamstrings) should be the first place to look
for improving
COD ability, even when the test is primarily one involving side - stepping or lateral movements.
Eccentric - specific gains produced by peripheral mechanisms might be reasonably expected to transfer well to
COD ability, because the stiffness of the passive elements within the muscle is not expected to be affected by the movement pattern, and may actually be increased by the velocity of the contraction (Rehorn et al. 2014), making the properties of the passive elements even more relevant
for high - velocity contractions, than
for low - velocity contractions.
Since strength is specific, then: strength training exercises or exercise variations involving moderately flexed peak knee angles, very flexed hip and trunk angles, and some torso rotation or lateral bend may be most valuable
for improving
COD ability.
Since strength is specific, then: strength training
for the hip extensors and knee extensors with eccentric - only muscle actions or accentuated eccentric loading should lead to superior gains in
COD ability compared to conventional strength training.
More modern reviewers tend to identify a somewhat stronger role
for maximum lower body strength in
COD ability (e.g. Watts, 2015).
Test of transfer (long - term): Gonzalo - Skok et al. (2016) may have observed a tendency
for range of motion specificity to influence changes in
COD ability, when comparing squats with a volume - matched range of similar multi-directional exercises, including horizontal and lateral movements.
Faster athletes exerted more force horizontally (and not vertically) in the propulsive phase, so they accelerate faster back in the reverse direction, suggesting that a horizontal force vector is very important
for determining
COD ability, just as
for accelerating linear sprinting.
What's certain from the
COD formula is that it has now become a template
for almost all of today's military shooters, and hardly any of those military shooters rank up to
COD's
ability to spice it up.
COD - style auto - aim when using iron sights makes life easier whichever you opt
for — a little too easy, arguably, but even when you're faced with a horde of inept guards, you have to imagine that someone of Bond's
ability would be able to take aim pretty quickly.
