Athletic Performance Methodology Seminar Notes

Last week, I had the chance to attain a lecture by Dancy Norman (fitness/ rehab coach for FC Bayer Muchen) on injury prevention and integration.

Here are the most important notes from the lecture:

1. Core Fundamentals such as evaluation, education, mindset, nutrition, movement, and recovery) are the most important fundamentals that an athlete should experience.
2. 65% of sports injuries are non contact related.
3. Some injury risk factors are: previous injuries, asymmetries, dynamic muscular balance and BMI.
4. Posture and movement patterns are really important to prevent injuries.
5. 3 key components that can affect movement are: joint mobility/ stability, strength and CNS function.
6. Mobility and stability are the most important elements realted to optimum performance.
7. Overhead activities and lower movements can activate the latissimus dorsi.
8. Core strength and core stability should always taking into consideration when training the core.
9. When hip flexor is tight, the gluteus might not work optimally.
10. Scapular movement is vital for shoulder health.
