This will Reduce Your Risk of Injury
from The Health and Sport Show
Are you the sort of person who keeps picking up injuries? Tom is going to let you in on a secret that not only helps you to improve your fitness and gets you closer to your goals, but also helps to reduce your risk of injury too. KEY TAKEAWAYS The more experienced players know not to push themselves to the point of injury. Stretching your limits to the breaking point is unsustainable. Practice. Improve your technique in a skill or movement with maximum attention to quality over quantity. Training. Rigorous exercise that’s focused upon building your strength and fitness to take higher levels of intensity. Competition. Pushing yourself to the limit, winning or beating personal bests. Do this when required only. BEST MOMENTS ‘When I started playing competitive sports at senior level I was about sixteen or seventeen and every time I stepped onto the training field I used to really push myself to the absolute limit. It was the only way I knew how to progress.’ ‘Knowing these three different ways will most likely reduce your risk of injury and it's going to make it much easier to stay in good physical shape.’ ‘Let’s stick with our squat. We’d be looking to increase the load by maybe increasing the weight lifted or perhaps by the number of repetitions completed or maybe by increasing the speed of the movement.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://youtube.com/channel/UCQXAka99a6MdZexeEJaMZbA https://m.facebook.com/elevatehealthuk/ https://www.elevatehealthuk.com/ https://instagram.com/elevate_healthuk?utm_medium=copy_link ABOUT THE HOST TOM BUTTERFIELD I have always been interested in sports, unfortunately injuries and poor training decisions curtailed my dream of becoming a professional football player. I have always been very passionate about helping people and I get a real kick out of seeing people improve and make progress towards a chosen goal or aspiration. I have been actively learning and implementing knowledge for over 20 years with the aim of improving the level of service I can offer to my clients. This has included formal qualifications such as: BSc (Hons) in Sports Sciences Masters in chiropractic PGDip in Diagnostic Medical (Musculoskeletal) Ultrasonography 14 years clinical experience helping tens of thousands of members of the public to improve their health and wellbeing. Unofficially I have digested countless information in the form of audiobooks, books, videos, seminars, and countless conversations with experts within the health and wellbeing niche. I aim for at least one hour a day. The day I stop learning is the day I pack up my stuff and go home.
