Next up: Nicola Maffiuletti on Explosive Strength in Sports Rehab
Notes to follow in this thread.....
#sportfisio2020
Explosive strength = the capacity to generate FORCE as QUICKLY (<200ms) as possible. Often quantified as rate of force development (RFD).
Impt bc it's FUNCTIONALLY more relevant than max strength - not just for athletes, but even unexpected perturbations in ADL.

But onward ho! First up with my note thread attached: @DrKateWebster on #ACL RTS and reinjury rates in elite female athletes.
Impt to point out: a lot of data is often on male athletes, not as much known about female athletes!
Thread of my notes from the lectures to follow .....
@ACLStudyDay@Dusty_Grooms The brain functions as a hierarchy of networks that promote movement. Everything eventually links to the motor cortex.
Environmental context influences how well a patient looks in different environments.
