Episode 38: The Nordic Hamstring Curl, Screening, and Injury Risk: What We Know with Dr. Nicol van Dyk



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? We discuss these things and much more with clinical researcher Dr. Nicol van Dyk.

Episode 37: Using Emerging Strategies in Powerlifting Programming with Mike Tuchscherer (Part 2)



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.

Episode 35: Knee Function & Strength Differences Between Young Athletes Who Return to Prior Level and Those That Don’t after ACLR, with Matt Ithurburn, PT, PhD.



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!
