๐๐ฝโโ๏ธPelvic tilt and sprinting!
Acceleration is quad dominant. Yet players are getting more and more hamstring injuries during mid acceleration.๐ฅ
โ
Solution?๐
Develop software and hardware!
๐ฆฟTeach them how to create co contractions between hamstring and quad to โshare the loadโ and increase movement efficiency.
๐งWhere to start?
Teach Proper hinging, with a focus on trunk and shin discipline.
๐จMove from static postural drills then progress to resisted runs, contrasting with live accelerations (can happen in one session or building through as progressions of rehab).
Plus run a solid lumber pelvic programming concurrently to help the new pattern stick under higher speeds, fatigue and complexity.
Train movements AND muscles.

Kev Bowring - A wonderful human, a man who understood people and a great rugby mind. I only had a small amount of time with Kev but I learnt a lot in that time. He always made time to share his experience and knowledge, often leaving me to think over a pearl of wisdom. Thoughts go out to his family and friends โค๏ธ RIP

Really enjoyed getting back on my feet and back in a gym, which I haven't done in over a year.
Thank you to the legends Rob and Sarah @ Apex Neuro for looking after me with real care and empathy whilst working hard to push me to expand my limits.
In the video I am doing leg extension at 70kg and hip thrusters with 40kg plus whatever that bar adds. I am also attached to a machine that supplies direct current to nerves, which supports the muscle group I am working in the hope of engaging some of the connections I have lost with MND. โ๐ผ

Please read and share this open letter. Itโs so important to everyone in the MND community that this is heard. @mndassoc must urgently work to ensure this happens immediately. #proleukin offers us all a glimmer of hope but where is it?
We urge @mndassoc, involved @mndresearch scientists & #Mirocals Consortium to urgently release paper from trial & do everything possible to ensure rapid access to #Proleukin, a drug available now in @NHS pharmacies. Pls read & share our Open Letter united2endmnd.org/2023/07/25โฆ
