Yielding isometrics? Overcoming isometrics? Eccentric quasi isometrics? What do these look like, and how can they be applied in rehab and in training? PhD candidate Dustin Oranchuk is on the podcast this week to discuss these questions and so much more!

Dustin’s journey as a researcher in the field of Strength and Conditioning has taken him from Canada, to New Zealand, to Australia, and he’s been a part of publishing some fantastic literature along the way. Notably, he spearheaded a review paper titled “Isometric training and long‐term adaptations: Effects of muscle length, intensity, and intent: A systematic review” which has been a favorite of ours when it comes to putting isometric training into practice.

Dustin discusses this paper with the Clinical Athlete team, as well as some recent work regarding the effects eccentric quasi-isometrics, and future considerations when it comes to utilizing isometrics in training. Enjoy!

How do you manage the transition from a professional degree program, to practicing clinically? How do we the bridge the gap between what’s taught in academic institutions, what the evidence says, and what we see on a day to day basis as clinicians? It’s not an easy process by any means.

This week, Clinical Athlete Provider and Physical Therapist Brendan DeForge joins us to provide his insight and experiences transitioning from student to new grad, and everything in between. The crew discusses the valuable aspects of PT school, as well as facets that could be improved upon. Brendan also “keeps it real” and gives us his experience managing burnout as a student and clinician, and gives us his take on strategies he uses to continue to pursue self growth and stay passionate about the field.
