A Guide to Effective Muscle Programming and Injury Prevention

Welcome to the Performance Plate Podcast! In today's episode, we dive into the world of programming.  We discuss the importance of exercise prescription and how it depends on the patient's condition and physical capabilities. Plus, we delve into the SAID principle (specific adaptation to imposed demands) and how it relates to overload, underload, and overtraining. Do you know the 'sweet spot' concept of your acute:chronic workload? It's an individualized concept that can be applied to many sports and training programs. We explore how your training plan and programming should always look like smooth 'arcs' rather than erratic up-ticks or down-ticks. Finally, we discuss the importance of training during an injury. Resting for too long can increase injury risk and cause a de-training effect. On the other hand, doing too much following an injury can also lead to issues. We explore how rest and recovery are key ingredients in any athletic performance or training program.
