@DannyLum82 Great infographic 👍 I wish more practitioners helping athletes return to performance would take the right side of this graph into consideration... Thanks for sharing
Elastic responses are everything. Every sport is loaded with stretch shortening cycles and eccentric situations, so rehab should then involve elastic responses from day 1. Find a way to do it in a remedial way, then progress the intensity over time.

The question is not only « what drill », it’s also « how is it coached and performed »
Ex. here basic knee lift: depending on the modality, the hip extension 💥and ankle-foot-ground 🔨are totally different ⚠️
👀right = better stimulus for that purpose✅🦿
It's important to note, the literature points heavily, IMO, to the importance of hamstring activity/strength and ACL health. Myer's work is one of many illustrating this. Gmed and quad work are talked about often in the performance world; little emphasis re: the hamstring group.
When a goldfish gets sick, the first step is to change the water. The fish cannot thrive in a poor environment.
Same with you.
If you're not thriving, start with changing YOUR environment.

New paper: Relationship between performance & biomechanics in male middle distance runners.
Faster 1500m runners:
• ⬇️ swing hip RoM
• ⬇️ ankle plantarflexion at contact
• ⬇️ trunk flexion at toe off
• ⬇️ swing knee flex RoM
• ⬆️ peak VGRF https://t.co/d9KczvWEbB
ICYMI this should summarise the differences in muscle activation between the razor curl and Russian curl. Thanks to @M_Cuthbert15@NickJRipley @DrJJMcMahon @DrTSuchomel for their help and a huge thanks to @power_lift for the posterior chain developer #NSCACon19
IN SEARCH OF...literature looking at the ability of ACL neuromuscular programs to change kinematics/kinetics during on field cutting/landing or during unexpected perturbations. I have trouble wrapping my head around how changing kinetics changes the injury risk...1/
Losing hurts because we care.
That's the curse of being passionate. It comes with extreme highs and lows.
The key lies in being able to move on from the lows. Refocus and get back to what matters, doing the work.
