ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR EVENTS
The Collaborate Sports Interactive Webinars focuses on real-world learning, immersive discussion and collaboration.
Speakers will utilise the session to provide thought-provoking discussion and reflection as opposed to a lecture-style webinar. So, take a look at the sessions below and sign up to join us as part of your own personal development!
Topic: How change of direction mechanics influence ACL injury
Collaborator: Dr Chris Thomas - S&C Coach
When: 17th March - 730pm GMT
Christopher Thomas is a Senior Lecturer in Strength and Conditioning Science at St Mary’s University and previously served as Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach at Aspetar Sports Orthopaedic Hospital, where he worked extensively with athletes rehabilitating from ACL injuries. His research focuses on change-of-direction performance and mechanics, and he has published numerous peer-reviewed papers in this area.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Differentiate change of direction (CoD) from agility and explain its role within deterministic models of movement performance
Describe the biomechanical mechanisms underpinning ACL injury during CoD
Evaluate the performance–injury risk trade-off in CoD
Apply technical and assessment models to optimise CoD performance that could help mitigate the risk of injury
Be sure to join us for an open, exploratory discussion!
