Strength, Power and Movement Assessments in Injured Athletes CPD course
July 8,2023
We are pleased to announce the ‘Strength, Power and Movement Assessments in Injured Athletes’ an ISEH Learning CPD course held at our Central London facility on Saturday 8th July, to monitor & enhance return to sport readiness.
The course is led by Dr Paul Read, a highly qualified and experienced sports performance consultant who is a Senior Lecturer in Strength & Conditioning at St Mary’s University, Hon Associate Professor at the University College London (UCL) and the University of Gloucestershire, and additionally, he is the Head of Performance for ACL Rehab Online.
This course covers key aspects of biomechanics and sports science related to injury rehabilitation and return-to-play testing. It emphasises the importance of analysing different test methodologies in order to optimise testing strategies for practical use. Furthermore, it explores the principles of force analysis and related mechanics, with a focus on their applications in rehabilitation and sports medicine scenarios. During the course there will be demonstrations of effective implementation of reliable test methodology, considering principles of measurement error and cueing, which can help practitioners gain insight and confidence in conducting these tests. Finally, it discusses how mechanical principles can be used to design targeted interventions for addressing deficits identified during force analysis, which is crucial for improving the return-to-play readiness of injured athletes.
This knowledge is crucial for effectively designing and implementing targeted training and reconditioning programs for injured athletes as part of the return to sport continuum. Whether you plan on implementing these tests or not within your own practice, an appreciation of them will help you when reading the literature and when receiving referrals.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe and apply practically key mechanical principles associated with force analysis
2. Critical evaluate and create a framework for context specific force plate variable selection
3. Understand how to interpret force data and waveform analysis to design targeted training strength and conditioning interventions
4. Effectively collect force data, ensuring strong reliability and repeatability
5. Use data collected to design effective training interventions to target deficits identified during force analysis with athletic populations
This ISEH Learning course would be suitable for sports scientists, physiotherapists, sports rehabilitators, strength and conditioning coaches, sports medicine doctors and other allied health professionals involved with or wishing to increase their theoretical understanding and practical application of strength, power, and movement assessments in injured athletes to monitor and enhance return to sport readiness.
Time: 09:45am - 4:15pm BST
Price: £180 - places are limited.
