[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@SimonBrundish So short sighted that it's so low down the priority list. My Daughter's school (she's 5) has 2 sessions of P.E. a week that often get skipped. Every second week someone comes in to do yoga with them....

You can still register to get the access to the recording of our webinar with @ShaneMalonePhd and @nwconditioning, as well as a downloadable pre-season guide with a structured 8-week pre-season program to use with your athletes.

[RYPT.app @AppRYPT]

Pre-season presents a challenge: how to improve fitness without unnecessarily increasing injury risk or compromising availability. The answer is planning. In this blog, @nwconditioning shares 5 guidelines to help you:

@SimonBrundish That's fairly ominous

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@mboyle1959 @WSWayland Agreed. I’m fond of rear foot against a wall to reduce balance challenge but that next to a box to box SL dynamic bridge are my go to exercises

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@RICH_AgilityLab Congratulations Rich!

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@lahti_johan I’ve been working with quantum movement for a while now, we use the Movella dot and GoPro together. I use for running, jumping and cutting assessments predominantly with players

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@resolveperf Yeah, good bit of kit though

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@lahti_johan Agreed with the knee angle. I think this changes with the lower centre of mass which will reduce the shank angle and foot inclination angle increasing the hip extensor role. Lower COM, easier reacceleration. That's how I think of it....in a tweet

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@lahti_johan I also think that lower COM and therefore increasing knee flexion is very important for reducing hamstring loading. Heel strike out in front is to be avoided and looking at shank angle, knee and trunk angle in sagittal plane is what I focus on

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@lahti_johan I mean that I don't think it's a good idea to think of decel in isolation as it's always followed by a reacceleration. I think being in the best position to reaccelerate is the most important factor. It's very hard to avoid lumbar flexion + unnecessary but I want trunk flexion

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@DeasunO Agree with that Des, tough conversation if he gets a lions selection. Looked a clear difference out wide in gamespeed

[Neil Welch PhD @nwconditioning]

@Irish_Physio They should be trusted
