Recovery in sport is vital.

There are a hundreds of gadgets, supplements, tools designed to 'enhance' recovery.

Seldom do we realize how you recover depends on what you are recovering from.

My 4 types of fatigue & how to recover from each:
-Flatness
-Soreness
-Stress
-Lethargy

@davidjakl There's definitely value to SIT training although the first study suggests that perhaps it wouldn't be a priority if the goal was to improve VO2 Max.

For me, the goal is choosing the best stimulus for the adaption and improvement that is an athlete's current focus.

Our ability to be the talker and the listener within our own heads is remarkable.

However, we can have a natural tendency to overthink.

This can impact our performance, especially in phases such as the taper.

When I hear...

"I tried the low intensity thing and it didn't work"

My first two thoughts..

a) what you were doing wasn't low intensity

b) you weren't tracking if it 'worked' in any measurable way

That's how confident I am that 'easier' is the answer for most.

[Ronny Wilson @roneveryday]

This is why I do it. Moments like this bring more rewards than I’ve found anywhere else. Developing confidence is a priceless tool ❤️#coaching #performance #growth #confidence

Brilliant thread.

For example, a recent patient of mine with 9+ months of non specific low back pain, saw a video of some ‘guru’ claiming a series of 3 stretches would fix it!

And indeed she did get some immediate relief… but it was only brief and returned to baseline within a few hours

[Ben Cormack @CorKinetic]

Too often the question of diagnosis is split into a binary of “does it or does it not matter”

This often creates a dichotomy & polarity between the 2 groups

Maybe the concept of granularity is a better perspective than the binary one, but how does it apply here?

Here is a 🧵

I often hear people say “I’m training smarter not harder!” But look at the graph on the right - higher training loads are associated with lower injury risk! This is the true paradox because it goes against everything the textbook tells us.

Training harder is training smarter!!

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

I don't think that the link between the musculoskeletal system and the Autonomic Nervous System is respected enough.

Bad (soft tissue) things consistently happen when the athlete attempts to load when the ANS is fatigued/stressed by other things

Best bet: Don't load when HRV⬇️

I had the chance to talk to my knee flare-up.

Surprisingly a nice guy full of great tips!

@jmarpdx What if a runner has a subjective benefit from safely drinking alcohol as part of their social component to performance? Are you trying to promote that human performance is completely linear, John? Which, surely a coach of your experience knows this isn’t the story?

[Active Edge Health & Performance @activeedgeST]

Another great read from Coach Ron.

[Ronny Wilson @roneveryday]

Lessons from #elites are never-ending, and #Federer and #Nadal proved to be the teachers once again.

I've written some thoughts on what we can take from witnessing two of the greatest sportspeople of all time fully engaging with their #emotions

Important reminder to read and write.

[Active Edge Health & Performance @activeedgeST]

@theEndurancePT Such a huge component IMO. I think psychological capacity/cognitive ability during performance and decision making throughout training is often the critical factor for acheiving a goal or not. As the goals become greater, so too does the psychological preparation

[The Sp⚽️rts Physio @AdamMeakins]

So-called ‘quick fix’ interventions undermine long-term behavior change, impede the pursuit of performance, and lead to serious downstream consequences for clinical practice! 😎🍿 https://t.co/Zj09I6fDeZ

Now physios please tell me again how those belts and bands wrapped around the leg ‘distract’ the hip! 🤨🤦‍♂️

[Running-Physio @tomgoom]

A pain traffic light is a simple but effective way to provide guidance on staying active during injury. Surprisingly lots of patients identify such guidance as an unmet need!
