Best From Around the Web #1

1. Evidence Based Training tips by Chris Beardsley - Always excellent info, especially interesting this week.

  • Stretching and strength and size gains
  • Best warm-up for performance
  • What difference in muscle activity is there between a deep squat and a shallow squat

2. Does a forefoot strike pattern (barefoot running) reduce injury? by the sports physiotherapist - Great new website I found.

  • Benefits of barefoot style running (includes pose/chi/evolution running)
  • This style of running for treating shin splints
  • What the research says (or doesn't say) about injury prevention

3. Strength Training Consideration for those with Patello-femoral Pain Syndrome by John Snyder

  • Evidence based article overviewing how to effectively treat PFPS (anterior knee pain)
  • Should we train the quads?
  • What range should we train in? ie: Should we use a full range of motion in squat/lunge exercises?
  • Should we target the VMO?

Enjoy it, I know I did,
