Main topic
Injury mechanisms and prevention
Key takeaway
You can’t prevent what you don’t understand; mechanism-focused analysis sits at the heart of serious prevention work.
Why it matters
Shifts us from generic ‘prehab’ to sport- and mechanism-specific strategies, especially for knees and ankles.
My take
If your ‘ACL programme’ is just random hops and bands with no link to game scenarios, you haven’t read this properly, fight me.
