16.02.2022 The Sporting Pathway students from Colac Secondary College are closing the gap on change of direction training to agility training What’s the difference? Change of direction is pre planned and is a great way to develop the necessary movement skills to transition to enhanced agility which is a rapid whole body movement in response to a stimulus. ... In this case we use Blazepods to provide a random stimulus. Great work once more team !!!

27.01.2022 Well done to the Mercy Regional College students who completed the term 4 ‘Sport4life’ program. Although Covid restrictions have limited the time we could spend with the students they made great progress. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2022

23.01.2022 No, not practicing dance moves but enhancing movement patterns to assist in the development of speed Well done to the Colac Secondary College Sporting Pathway students on a great session today. Next week we will see our first year students progress to the extra ‘strength’ session. Getting ready for a 2021 where we can all get back into the gym

23.01.2022 Its not too late for those high school aged athletes in Camperdown to come along to our complimentary Strength 4 Teens session Wednesday 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm Nick Hose Fitness in Camperdown Our program has helped thousands of high school aged athletes become-... Faster Stronger More agile More flexible React faster And far less likely to become injured. For those 8 athletes who go onto our term 3 program you will be accessing some of the latest technology in your training. You must email me your interest as numbers are strictly limited [email protected] Thanks Stuart

23.01.2022 As lives in Victoria slowly return to normal after many challenges in 2020 remember that an improvement based mindset, day to day, week to week, is sustainable and allows you to achieve your academic, work, sporting and personal goals. Improve something each day. No matter how small. Small gains accumulate over time to great growth. Stay well

23.01.2022 That Friday feeling !!! Lots of exciting updates regarding term 3 athletic development programs for teens coming. PLUS ... Some new locations for physio & performance services from Geelong to Camperdown Stay tuned

22.01.2022 Are you a cyclist looking to improve your performance? Troubled by pain on the bike? After many years working in the world of cycling as a team physio and high performance director I would be happy to help you optimize your cycling experience.

22.01.2022 We are looking forward to getting the Colac Secondary College Sporting Pathway Program underway tomorrow with Brittany Wright (RIS Perfomance Coach) at the helm for term 4 (while Stuart is on leave). It will be great to have what is hopefully an uninterrupted term 4 of athletic development and strength training. Stay well and safe.

21.01.2022 Cycling can be a demanding sport and many cyclists often ride in pain. Particularly knee and back pain. There is so much that can be done to improve your body for the bike and reduce pain. If you would like to chat to me about a cycling related pain issue or would like to learn more about performance programs in the gym for cycling let me know.... I have spent many years assisting cyclists, junior to Masters. Recreational to elite enhance their cycling performance and experience both as a physiotherapist & high performance director. Stay safe out on the road ! Stu [email protected]

21.01.2022 Strength 4 Teens - Term 3 Birregurra Tuesday 4.40 to 5.40 pm Birregurra Community Health Centre... Camperdown Wednesday 3.30 to 4.30 pm Nick Hose Fitness There are only two spots left at both locations for term 3 so if you are interested you must email me quickly Those of you who have previously emailed me please check your inbox for detailed info regarding the program [email protected] Thanks Stuart

20.01.2022 Most sports require you to be able to safely and effectively change direction. Developing these skills in young athletes is a key component of optimal performance and injury prevention. This morning Colac Secondary College the Sporting Pathways students practiced just that. Well done!

20.01.2022 Into their second year of the Sporting Pathway Program these students are doing so well. With lots of quality movement pattern preparation done in year one you can see the results when it now comes to weight training. Getting started with good hip hinging technique under load.... Super impressed. Colac Secondary College Bluewater Leisure Centre #risvictoria #exerciseimproveslife

20.01.2022 Well done to the Colac Secondary College Sporting Pathway students for their dedication and application through a very different term 2. Here is our socially spaced team photo for term 2, 2020

19.01.2022 Some information for everyone to read. Maintain good habits for optimizing your wellbeing. Stay well.

19.01.2022 Strength 4 Teens Nick Hose Fitness kicked off tonight. Dynamic warm up Run technique ... Jump & land mechanics Agility Strength Mobility Reaction time training Well done everyone

18.01.2022 Strength 4 Teens Come & Try Session - Complimentary If you are interested (or your son/daughter) in understanding more about our RIS S4T sessions starting term 3 in Birregurra & Camperdown ... send me a message and you can come along for a 60 minute session this Tuesday in Birre or Wednesday afternoon in Camperdown Nick Hose Fitness Spaces are strictly limited COVID guidelines in place. Develop and improve- Speed Strength Power Agility All under the guidance of a highly experienced physio & high performance director Thanks Stu [email protected]

18.01.2022 Knee injuries and knee pain are common in teenage athletes so it’s important to integrate strength training that focuses on control of your own body weight without excessive twisting motion occurring through the knee. Single leg mini squats are a great starting point and can be incorporated into a dynamic warm up regime. Colac Secondary College

18.01.2022 Congratulations to the students of Trinity College in Colac for completing a 4 week training block in the ‘Sporting Excellence’ program. You all made wonderful progress with your speed, run technique, agility and strength.

17.01.2022 Why do teenagers need athletic development programs? There are many reasons why developing a wide array of skills are needed to help teenagers improve their athleticism and sporting abilities. Particularly given declining rates of play in childhood. Sport specific train does not always develop key skills or qualities such as -... Optimal running technique and speed. Agility. Strength (which needs specific approaches NOT adult based programs historically based on body building). Mobility. Reaction and decision making capabilities. All within a culture of improvement NOT high performance. High performance training is not appropriate for development of young athletes. High school aged athletes need a long term athletic DEVELOPMENT framework. And remember you dont have to be the team superstar to think of yourself as an athlete. So if you (or your son/daughter) would like to IMPROVE your athletic qualities utilizing proven scientific approaches then let me know. If you or your son/daughter is injured or needs rehab please let me know. I consult in Geelong (Leopold), Birregurra and Camperdown. Over many years now I have combined my qualifications, knowledge and experience in physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy and a Master of High Performance Sport to assist thousands of high school based athletes of all levels and abilities, across a variety of sports including those who are participating at the highest levels of their sport locally and internationally to improve. The Regional Institute of Sport is exactly that - Regional Our difference: We are not exclusive Everyone is welcome. Why? Because everyone deserves the opportunity to improve. I am really excited to offer these programs and services to the teens of the Western District. Birregurra, Colac and Camperdown. If you are keen to learn more please let me know Thanks Stuart Canavan RIS Director [email protected]

17.01.2022 Heres a great challenge for all of the RIS athletes from EXOS Let me know when you can do this without dropping your shoe

16.01.2022 Strength session at Colac Secondary College Bluewater Leisure Centre (With lots of hand sanitizer used!)

15.01.2022 Fall forward, keep your head buried, go for it Acceleration practice!! Colac Secondary College

15.01.2022 After a period of isolation its been great to get back to developing athletic qualities with the Sporting Pathway students Colac Secondary College Many of the students continued their training through the period away from school via online sessions. If you are an athlete getting back to training after a period away from your regular exercise of sport it is essential to gradually resume your training and always use a dynamic warm up before high intensity efforts or game si...mulation. Good luck returning to your sports.

15.01.2022 The current global health situation is having me revisit some previous sports that I once enjoyed. For me thats golf. Today I got back to the driving range for the first time in years. I started playing when I was 8 and played regularly until I was 16. Then study and life changed my sporting path. ... I now look at golf differently to that of my childhood. Golf requires making athletic qualities. Strength, coordination, mobility and power. Strength training fuses beautifully with a golf swing. Like many sports undergoing an assessment of your limiting factors and then engaging in a structured, individualized program to overcome pain or enhance your performance can be developed. So if you are keen to improve your golf game please let me know. A combination of physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy and high performance experience and knowledge might be just what you need. 0499 999 274 Stay well Stuart

15.01.2022 Never underestimate the importance of doing the basics very well if you want to improve as an athlete, young or old. I personally wouldnt focus on the 1%ers too much. Execute the 99% really well instead. Consistently. These students from Colac Secondary College despite an interrupted 2020 have approached their athletic development training, including strength work so well. ... It was great to get back and use the facilities at Bluewater in Colac today. #risvictoria #exerciseimproveslife #colacsecondarycollege

11.01.2022 Well designed strength programs are essential for teenage athletic performance enhancement and injury prevention.

Remember-... Train movement patterns NOT muscles Build strength on quality movement patterns Be consistent in your strength training

07.01.2022 After a long wait . the Sport4life program at Mercy Regional College in Camperdown is back underway. The students had a great session back focused on front side running mechanics to enhance speed and run technique. Well done!!!

07.01.2022 Strength training for athletes should focus on movement patterns not muscle isolation based exercises. Traditional body building based regimes are not specific enough for the demands of sport. Remember that you dont need a big gym with machines to train well. ... Your own body weight and a kettlebell provides 100s of options. Have a great day!!! #risvictoria #exerciseimproveslife Colac Secondary College #sportingpathwayprogram

07.01.2022 If you are an athlete who cant play your sport, now is a great opportunity to get on top of those niggles you have had for a while.

05.01.2022 Life and sport are inseparable. Achieving your goals as an athlete requires the consistent pursuit of improvement. Discipline.... Hard work. Perseverance. This requires an ability to adapt, overcome adversity, accept that challenges will come. There will be triumph and disappointment. So at the moment we all are being tested. Embrace the challenge. Be disciplined in the requests made by our health professionals. Look after yourself. The challenge if dealt with approximately will lead to success. Underestimate this opponent and get ready for a long hard match.
