@davecarolan @Chriswing86 @AFL @darrenburgess25 From the AFL CBA introduced for this season: “Increased access to players for media and broadcast via new broadcast policy to be introduced.” This has manifested itself in club media personnel sitting on the bench during games to report injury updates directly to broadcasters.

@Chriswing86 Interesting- not sure I’ve come across that before! Is it something you’ve seen Chris, especially in Australian sport. Pretty sure the @AFL have regular medical bulletins from clubs? @damianraper / @darrenburgess25 may give additional perspective

👀Very interesting development here… Mark Robins told he can’t talk about injuries in press due to data protection 🔐Is this the first instance of GDPR being applied to a sports coach discussing player fitness &/or availability ❓Has there been a case like this in US sport?

@AdRussellPhysio @FigtreePhysio All very good suggestions. Has @physioshane suggested it begins with the profession holding ourselves to higher standards and saying “no we won’t do it”... difference to Law etc is that we are in a far more competitive market with Sports Trainers, ExPhys, Chiro etc

@AdRussellPhysio @FigtreePhysio Complex. I’m not sure I have got enough characters on twitter to accurately articulate a response! At one end - we need to be advocating better what our services are worth. The other end - the economy of sport has changed and young physio’s do need to take learning opportunities

Here we go again.....just a different sport. Wanted: physio to work in so called “performance & pathway” The Catch: you must have a physio degree + enrolled in post grad sports physio courses.....oh and you get the privilege of working for free for a season.

New Paper: Dose-response modelling of pre-season training load and physical performance data in professional Australian football @StuCormack @RogerEston doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.…

“The technology and data will never affect the outcome, the people interpreting that data will”. Impt message from @darrenburgess25 @UKSCA. It applies to so many other aspects in elite sports eg the data on scans, investigations, bloods, nutrition etc is all about interpretation

Ground contact time is shorter in faster athletes, and/or at faster speeds, OK BUT, IMO, it should not be as short as possible, remember hundreds of Newtons should be applied !!!!! Don't waste Newtons to cut milliseconds, PUSH ...and lace your shoes 😆
