Great turnout for @StuartMcMillan1 @SSCSantry last night. A really thought provoking talk.

[Irish Strength & Conditioning Network @irishscnetwork]

The brilliant @TommyJMooney discussing changes in bicep fascicle length seen over the course of a low frequency, in season programme with U20 intercounty athletes. Potentially important findings for injury prevention! #irishsc

Congrats @SBP_Physio on your publication! Interesting that 1 in 5 report pain prior to rupture, silent tendinopathic changes in the other 4 in 5?

Ireland’s men will be heading to Paris after a 4-3 win over South Korea in a breathless third place play-off in Valencia on Sunday sealed Olympic qualification. Goals from Matthew Nelson, Ben Johnson, John McKee and Shane O’Donoghue gave them victory

Another high profile Achilles rupture in the NFL.

Data suggests there has been a big spike in rupture rates this season and is a season ending injury for most athletes.

Artificial turf will no doubt start to take the blame again but it’s not quite that simple.

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

@KevinTosti Awesome news Kev, delighted for you man!

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

@Elevate_Rehab_ @OutputSports Love this, goes to show the importance of testing RSI in multiple planes of movement. Especially in Achilles injuries where acceleration is often the injury mechanism!

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

Another high profile QB in the NFL suffered an Achilles Tendon rupture this weekend.

Two schools of thought exist:

1. Asymptomatic underlying tendon pathology / changes
2. Mechanical overload: eccentric load in dorsiflexed & knee ext position.

Combo of both perhaps?

[Hipp Sports @HippSports]

Another angle of Kirk Cousins injury.

Non contact injuries are always scary😬

@AlanMcKay2 @BrendanCropley @davshearer Congrats Alan 👏

@wjkennedy98 @VALDPerformance @sscsportsmed Should be good now Josh 👍

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

Nice to have our new @VALDPerformance force frame arrive in @sscsportsmed

Running through some reliability work and normative data collection.

Looking forward to integrating this into early post op achilles repair testing protocols

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

@wjkennedy98 @VALDPerformance @sscsportsmed Of course Josh, pop me a message 👍

[David McCrea @DavidMcCrea93]

Nice paper @DHMov on accel & decel GRF.

5.9 X BM decel. Close to forces in sprinting. Food for thought when thinking of the no. of decels a player is exposed to VS max sprint exposures.

Interested as to what this may look in injured cohorts in our upcoming work @sscsportsmed
