It’s incredible how much a little bit of strength can do for us in terms of injury prevention. However, is it possible to get stronger by NOT moving a single muscle? A lot of people other than myself seem to think so. We’ve all heard of this type of training, known as isometrics or static training. I first heard of the formal term when I was in high school reading a book by Pavel Tsatsouline called Power to the People that talked about getting stronger with isometrics. I was extremely interested in this at the time since I started training ...
Most clients or patients in a fitness facility or rehabilitation clinic always receive some kind of screening tests and assessments. Orthopaedic tests, range of motion, body fat percentage and so forth. In all my years in the industry, I have come across only a few health care professionals that ask about their client’s sleeping habits.

More importantly, the prognosis of my injuries would have been far more promising and their recurrence rate would have been ...
Jumper's knee, the name for this injury is quite appropriate as it's a common tendency among athletes who are required to jump a lot (gymnastics, track and field, basketball, etc.). So what is it exactly and what should you expect to have done about it from your local health care practitioner? Also, what factors should that practitioner be made aware of. First, let's separate what this injury is and what it is not… Acute vs. Chronic In my opinion, most injuries are chronic, even those acute to sub-acute injuries. I first noticed this from working at a clinic where more than ninety percent ...
Having been involved in the field of fitness for several years, I can say without a doubt that fitness hardly differs from any other field of health care now more than ever. In terms of innovations, I believe the first part of the 21st century saw more changes and improvement than there has ever been in this field. Also, just like other fields of health care (and life in general) old habits die hard. I’m sure we’re all familiar with the idiom “You’re only as strong as your greatest weakness”. This is the core of today’s lesson. So what happens when ...
