Description

Greg and Alex delved into a wide-ranging discussion about the science of endurance and fitness, with a focus on injury prevention and treatment. They explored the effectiveness of strength training in injury prevention, the inconsistencies in the research, and the debatably importance of stretching in the prevention of injury.    Alex shared his personal experiences with a hamstring injury and his approach to running injury prevention and some of the limitations of our current research base. As usual, we also talked about the role of technique in injury risk reduction.  Greg did get confused and brought up technique and performance so that was nice accidental discussion point.   Alex's Outside Magazine Profile  Alex's website

A deep dive into the world of exercise, pain and injury with a Movement Optimism spin as opposed to the kinesiopathological model. The traditional view of the human body has considered to be much more akin to car when we should have been viewing like a robust ecosystem. This is a masterclass on critical thinking and hopes to get you challenging your biases as well as ours.
