ClinicalAthlete Podcast

What are the important first steps for the beginner endurance athlete? How much do running biomechanics matter for performance and injury? How does one go about educating the hard-charging endurance athlete on altering their habits? We discuss these things and much more with Physical Therapist and endurance athlete Danielle Adler Kroot.

Are weightlifting overhead derivatives useful for athletes who are not competitive weightlifters? What do we really mean when we say force output, rate of force, and impulse of force? Can the push press and jerk carry over to our ability to jump? Is there an argument for the use over overhead derivatives versus the bench press for upper body strength in athletes? We discuss these things and more with sports scientist Marcos Soriano.

Why are vitals vital? Do orthopedic clinicians do an adequate job of screening the cardiovascular system? How can we do better? What does “breathing dysfunction” really mean, and what do we do about it? We discuss these things and more with Physical Therapist and researcher Richard Severin.

What does the current evidence tell us about the effects of Nordic Hamstring Curl on injury rates? What does injury “prevention” really mean, and what factors should we consider to decrease risk?

How do we minimize assumptions and simplify the powerlifting programming process? How do we maximize progress for the individual? How can we minimize uncertainty when peaking for competition? What does “fatigue” actually mean? We discuss these things and more with powerlifting coach and elite powerlifter Mike Tuchscherer.

Do young athletes who return to prior level of sport after ACLR have better knee function and strength when they are cleared, compared to young athletes who end up with a second ACL tear or don’t make it back to prior level? The answer might surprise you.. What other factors should we be looking at for return to sport testing in athletes after ACLR? Researcher and clinician Matt Ithurburn, PT, PhD came onto the show to discuss these topics and more!

How do we incorporate dynamical systems theory into powerlifting? Are common practices like structured training blocks and planned deload weeks the best approach? How can we modify training variables to address limitations and improve lifting performance? How are injuries best managed in this system?
