Great to be inquisitive and ask ‘WHY’ also great from a challenge perspective too. However, don’t be lazy in asking WHY. Stop and have a think for yourself- WHY might they do that? Often my reply to WHY is ‘have a think about it’. Dont really on spoon feeding!

In drop jumps you may be comparing apples with oranges if you don’t cross reference RSI or CT etc with “effective drop height”. Just because they started on a 40cm box it doesn’t mean they’ve landed from 40cm. EDH also not reported in many studies either?!?!

Evidence-based approach to strength training for the prevention of hamstring strain injury: exercise selection is often implemented on the basis of clinical recommendations and assumptions rather than empirical evidence l. Read @MBourne5 @SportsMedicineJ bit.ly/HamsExSelection

Good clinical reasoning: rule out isos if no effect or if effect apply program. NOT all Ach pain the same. The evidence is in the n=1. xitter.cf/lorenzo_masci/status/9… – at Melbourne, Victoria

Do isometrics work for all Achilles pain? Seems evidence is mixed worth a try but doesn’t work in all. Also can be used for buy in.

Realtime MRI vs traditional static MRI - seems you can learn different things from a dynamic scan? Here's my neck last week. @KingsImaging
