Can someone explain sports to me. So if the toe starts behind the line and we measure at the heel, you can technically jump 2 inches forward and have a negative broad jump 🤷🏻♂️ #ItsMath
Reframing the way you describe an exercise can improve the buy with youth athletes #YouthAthlete

What an incredible explanation of the Patellofemoral joint, and the role anatomy plays in patellar instability. I would strongly recommend #KneedToKnow
OrthoCAST chapter on Patellofemoral joint issues released today - my absolute favourite chapter - learn how a bowling alley & the PFJ are similar! @DrBrianFeeley@Patelladoc@_NancyMD again - FREE at https://t.co/bH8m40qzBx
33-66% of ACL injuries in soccer ⚽️ occur in DEFENSIVE pressing!!
👀 Visual distraction a key situational pattern, but the physical ability to decelerate rapidly from high speeds also critical 👇🏻
The more that evidence accumulates on the topic, the more confidence we have that whole muscle growth is very similar regardless of repetition zone provided sets are carried out with a high degree of effort. Provides a wide-array of options based on preference and abilities 💪
