@AdamMeakins Its a virus?

When I hear Physio’s saying that S&C and resistance training is a ‘trend’… 😖🤮

@davidhosch @JerryDraperRodi @ImperialSandC @UCODVC_Research Congratulations. outstanding work

I’m truly humbled by this award and deeply grateful to the many many people who’ve contributed to the research and supported me in the last few years. Big shout-out to @JerryDraperRodi, Prof Rice, and the teams at @ImperialSandC pain group and @UCODVC_Research ❤️

Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR) is a must add for athlete performance. During their day-to-day life, athletes are already on sympathetic nervous system overdrive. Being in that state constantly is not good for general life or performance. Sooner or later things go wrong as the body cannot get to a high performance state. As the athlete still needs to perform, the body’s priority on energy efficiency over joint stability and force output creates a down regulation of the prime movers to conserve energy, while demanding secondary movers pick up the slack. These compensation patterns might not be negative in the moment, but the body will not tolerate that forever. Something needs to happen neurologically to fix it. By adding in RPR during a warm-up, this acts as throwing the brakes on for the SNS by putting the body in a brief state of parasympathetic nervous system activation. Post-RPR, the athlete is more likely to see a slower rise in heart rate while performing and also display greater rates of symmetry between limbs. All of this doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to work, especially if the athlete isn’t handling their business off the field, but compare your team’s quad/hip flexor/hamstring numbers pre-RPR & post-RPR and you’re very likely to see a decrease in the total number of those injuries and a decrease in the severity of those injuries. Cal Dietz, Christian Korfist, JL Holdsworth, and Tyrel Detweiler have put out a crazy and in-depth amount of material on the subject if you want to Google and learn more, but this is a basic summary of their material. Fatigue at a slower rate✅ Compensate less✅ Decrease odds of injury✅ Perform better✅

A lot of work is needed to change attitudes and beliefs! Our research @Alexnunes79 shows that Portuguese osteopaths have very strong biomedical-biomechanical beliefs. journalofosteopathicmedicine.com/article/S1746-…
