🏃‍♂️ We're back in the game Sportsmith 's Return to Play Conference! 🏀 Turning an injury into a rebound melds ideas from #rehabilitation and #performance - and metrics like #EMG can view #symmetry and #activation, providing insight to both worlds! 🔗 bit.ly/3FIcgTT

"Athletes vary widely in their sensitivities to pain. Practitioners should be most attuned to players with a low sensitivity, as their self-reports could lead us to overlook or downplay a potentially serious injury." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…

"The first week after the injury is a phase of destruction. The degeneration of ruptured myofibers gives way to the formation of scar tissue." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…

"This is followed by a repair phase, in which the activation and differentiation of satellite cells starts the process of forming new connective tissue and myofibers. The affected site starts to build higher quality tissue with greater tolerance." From Álvaro

"At the beginning, although the healing phase is more advanced, the tissue does not yet have the ability to tolerate high stress. Loading is “little and often” as the duration of isometrics gets shorter and both load and angles increase." From Álvaro

"The third and last phase—remodelling—emphasizes the development of sport-specific capabilities. First, introduce high impact movements and mechanisms." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…

"The rectus femoris of a central defender will not be the same as that of a goalkeeper. A player whose team plays the ball out from the back through a series of short or medium length passes will have different demands on their RF." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…

"The sport itself is a form of strength training, offering the best opportunity to develop sport-specific strength. It should therefore play a key role in training program design. However, it’s crucial to account for the total training load." From Álvaro

Now available on Sportsmith Premium, "Sprint technique assessment for hamstring injury risk" featuring Johan Lahti, PhD Johan Lahti raises a key question: Should we assess sprint technique under fatigue when considering hamstring injury risk? His research shows that movement

"Players encounter endless variety in their deceleration scenarios, so the rehabilitation plan must include braking from different speeds, employing different foot positioning, and at different ankle-knee-hip flexion angles." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…

"Although it is not entirely up to us, we need to do our best to ensure the player was exposed to representative tasks of what the training and sport will be; the player must feel mentally safe and not afraid of any movement." From Álvaro sportsmith.co/articles/rehab…
