🏃♂️ Recovery Research Update: What Science Says About Post-Match Recovery in Football Most significantly, while athletes often feel pressured to engage in multiple recovery protocols, the research emphasizes quality rest, hydration, and nutrition as fundamental cornerstones of effective recovery. Performance professionals might consider individualizing active recovery interventions (CWI, compression, massage) while ensuring athletes prioritize these essential basics. Recent systematic reviews support a more nuanced approach to recovery protocols in professional football, highlighting the importance of individualization. Key findings from the latest research: • Cold water immersion improves perceived recovery but shows limited physiological benefits • Massage demonstrates similar patterns - helping with subjective recovery but minimal physiological impact • Compression garments' effectiveness in isolation remains inconclusive • Static stretching shows limited evidence for recovery benefits across age groups • Combined recovery methods generally outperform single interventions Interesting implication: Sometimes the best recovery might simply be quality rest!

Summary and Highlights of U.S. House of Representatives __: Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2024 Purpose: The bill aims to amend the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 to modify the authority of the Office of Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) with respect to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Key Provisions: 1. Title and Introduction: • Short title: “Restoring Confidence in the World Anti-Doping Agency Act of 2024.” • Introduced by Mr. Moolenaar and Mr. Krishnamoorthi. 2. Amendments to Definitions: • Updates the term “United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee.” • Introduces the term “independent athlete,” defining it as an Olympic or Paralympic athlete not serving in any capacity within key Olympic and Paralympic organizations or WADA. 3. Responsibilities and Authority: • ONDCP, in consultation with USADA, USOPC, and the Team USA Athletes’ Commission, is tasked with ensuring WADA has a credible, independent governance model with fair representation of the U.S. • Governance reforms must include conflict-of-interest policies and decision-making roles for independent athletes from democratic countries. • ONDCP must work to counter systemic fraud in doping, collaborating with democratic countries. 4. Determination and Accountability: • Within 90 days of enactment, ONDCP must determine if WADA has implemented necessary governance reforms. • If WADA fails, ONDCP will use all tools to ensure fair U.S. representation in WADA’s governance structures. • A report on barriers to U.S. participation in WADA must be issued within 180 days of the determination. 5. Voluntary Nonpayment of Dues: • If WADA does not meet governance standards, ONDCP may withhold membership dues. • The decision to withhold dues must be in consultation with the appropriate committees of Congress. 6. Spending Plan: • ONDCP must submit a spending plan and explanation to Congressional appropriations committees 30 days before obligating funds to WADA. Legislative Process: • Referred to the appropriate committee for further consideration. This bill seeks to enforce stricter governance and fair representation standards in WADA, reflecting concerns over transparency and accountability in anti-doping efforts. #AntiDoping #SportsIntegrity #FairPlay #Transparency #WADA #USAthletes #SportsGovernance #Accountability #Congress #Legislation #Olympics2024 #corruption

More often than not, our programming as tactical coaches is limited to a unit/companywide level for simplicity and consistency's sake. However, whenever we do have those high achieving tactical athletes come for personal programs we like to get into the minutia of training. For a female athlete looking to attend AIT or SFAS we want to provide the best possible program to them, therefore working in synch with their natural cycles we can better match the ebb and flow of metabolic and hormonal changes! TLDR: Female hormonal cycles are far more intricate than males, and we can provide superior programming if we better understand the changing states of the female athlete. Can't wait to see what this presentation will spur development on in the future!

🚨 English Football's Busiest Period is Here ⚽ With the last international break behind us until March, we’re now entering the most demanding stretch of the season. Between now and January 1st, an incredible 60 games will be played across the Premier League. For medical departments, this is crunch time. To keep up with the increased workload, some clubs have started restructuring their physiotherapy teams, introducing specialised roles for 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐬. 👉 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐬 focus on injured players, guiding them back to full fitness. 👉 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐬 concentrate on matchday squads, pitchside support, and prehab to prevent injuries. Pioneers like Chelsea Football Club and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club are leading the way in this approach. If this move correlates with reduced injuries and better player availability, it could reshape medical departments across football. What do you think? Could this be the start of a broader transformation in football's approach to injury prevention? #SportsMedicine #InjuryPrevention #FootballInnovation #PerformancePhysio #RehabPhysio ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ I'm Harry Trussler, for the last couple of years I've recruited and placed performance leaders across the sports industry.
