Description
Hyper individualization has become a central theme of best practices in injury prevention and rehabilitation efforts. While most of the industry recognizes the value of individualized care, the application in high school athletics only seems feasible for the top 0.5% of programs with ample supporting staff or financial support. This presentation will discuss how data from force plates can help drive individualized care in a pragmatic and scalable way, while reducing the time and burden on overworked and understaffed sports medicine and performance teams.
What you will learn in this course:
- The validity of utilizing the measurement of force to assess human movement.
- Understand the types of data force plates can provide, as well as how to apply basic principles of force-time assessment for the vertical jump.
- Understand a simple model for evaluating individual movement capabilities through the assessment of force.
- Understand a pragmatic framework for creating individualized training plans based on the assessment of force.
