Day 1 - PERFORMANCE DAY
Bulletproof Hamstrings - Assessment and Training Workshop
Speaker: Johan Lahti, PhD, CSCS
Hamstring strains are the most common injuries in sprint-related sports. Maximal sprints and Nordics are often the go-to methods for keeping players healthy. But what if that's not enough? Is there a more comprehensive approach?
In this workshop, you will delve into a holistic strategy for hamstring health, combining both theory and practice. You will explore the importance of lumbopelvic control and range of motion, focusing on testing, training, and understanding the limitations and future directions in this area. You will also cover strength training comprehensively, learning about effective testing methods, training techniques, and addressing potential limitations and future considerations.
Additionally, the workshop will address sprint mechanical output and sprint training, providing insights into testing, training methodologies, and discussing the limitations and future directions of these practices in speed training.
A significant portion of the workshop will be dedicated to programming strategies, summarizing key concepts, and allowing for open discussion to deepen your understanding.
After this day with the expert, you will be able to measure hamstring health in both qualitative and quantitative ways, improving your coaching eye. You'll be equipped to integrate injury prevention exercises into your overall training programs, ensuring a more robust and comprehensive approach to athlete health and performance.
