🏃🏽♂️Pelvic tilt and sprinting!
Acceleration is quad dominant. Yet players are getting more and more hamstring injuries during mid acceleration.🏥
✅Solution?🍀
Develop software and hardware!
🦿Teach them how to create co contractions between hamstring and quad to “share the load” and increase movement efficiency.
🧐Where to start?
Teach Proper hinging, with a focus on trunk and shin discipline.
💨Move 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 ❤️ 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. ✌🏼

Please read and share this open letter. It’s 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/2023/07/25…
