20.01.2022 The importance of movement (MVMT)! Walking is free, does not require special training, and can be done almost everywhere. Therefore, how can we not prescribe walking when we know it reduces the risk of all-cause mortality. A 2019 study by Lee et al suggests that there is marked risk reductions for all-cause mortality associated with as few as 4400 daily steps a day. An even more recent study (Hansen et al 2020) showed mortality risk was reduced when you walk up to about 8000...-9000 daily steps. Therefore, a minimum range of 4400-9000 steps per day should be the aim. Get moving! Your life depends on it.

20.01.2022 Reducing the risk of injury post COVID-19 The rapid transition into pre-season and competition when COVID-19 restrictions are gradually lifted, places all players at a higher risk of injury, fatigue and poor performance. Thankfully, there are steps that can be taken now to ensure you and your team successfully transition back to sport. 1) Maximise the pre-season... Make sure you train for a minimum of 6-8 weeks before competition to improve your injury resiliency. 2) Address your risk factors Make sure you are addressing errors in training. Dont do too much too soon. Address loss of fitness, strength and correct movement patterns. 3) Sort out any old injuries Now is a great time to complete the rehab you were supposed to have done in the first place. Often injuries such as shin splints and tendinopathies have a habit of coming back during a rapid return to higher training intensities.

07.01.2022 How to prevent exercise related injuries around the Christmas break Our bodies do an excellent job at adapting to our regular exercise routine.

Jumping straight back into your usual routine following the holidays can create injury risk. ... When resuming after the holiday break it is very important to ensure a gradual, planned program back into your full routine over a couple of weeks. This helps to avoid a large spike in training volume and reduces the risk of overload and stress-related injuries.
