Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméThe UKSCA 2024 round table discussion, chaired by Andy Boyd, brought together experts from academia, sport institutes, and education to discuss youth physical activity. Kevin Till from Leeds Beckett University, Stuart Ferrier from the Scottish Institute of Sport, and Asha Riley from St Swithun's School, highlights the challenges of encouraging children to be more active. The conversation covered the World Health Organisation's physical activity guidelines, screen time issues, and how the S&C community can step up by fostering engaging environments in schools. One standout point was the idea that under-training in childhood can lead to overtraining later in life due to physical unpreparedness. Asha Riley shares her experience in creating a more inclusive approach to physical education at her school, emphasising that every child should have access to physical training, not just the top athletes. The discussion concluded with a call for collaboration between S&C coaches, PE teachers, and policymakers to address these challenges on a broader scale.

As participation, media coverage, and revenue in women's sport surge, Dr. Ross warns that this progress risks collapse if we don’t adequately support the female athletes at its core. Drawing on over a decade of research and experience, Dr. Ross explains the importance of addressing female-specific physiological needs. She emphasises that while equality in resources—such as coaching and facilities—is essential, equity must also be considered. Female athletes require tailored approaches, particularly regarding menstrual health, nutrition, and injury prevention. Dr. Ross highlights the need for coaches and support staff to recognise and manage issues like pelvic floor dysfunction and menstrual irregularities to prevent long-term health consequences. She also discusses the challenge of changing entrenched mindsets and practices that treat male and female athletes the same. To build a sustainable future for women's sport, Dr. Ross called for a system where female athletes’ health and well-being are prioritised, ensuring they can perform at their best.

Drawing on his experience across team sports like rugby, hockey, and individual athletes in cycling, Hughes emphasises how eccentric training helps with multi-directional decelerations and complex movements. While not a new concept, its benefits, especially when combined with the latest technology to measure training transfer, are increasingly recognised. One of the main challenges coaches face is accurately measuring and applying eccentric training to achieve real performance gains. Dr. Hughes shares research findings showing that most high-performance coaches already use some form of eccentric training, but he stressed the importance of understanding the “why” and the optimal applications in real-world sports environments. He also touched on the neural mechanisms behind eccentric actions and how they differ from traditional strength training methods, focusing on improving athletes’ braking capacity, control, and speed in dynamic environments.This podcast was recorded live at the UKSCA Annual Conference.

In his UKSCA 2024 presentation, Ulrik Sandstrom provided a deep dive into the neurological aspects of injury prevention and rehabilitation. Drawing on decades of experience, Ulrik explaines how the nervous system controls muscles and how disturbances in this system can lead to injury, even in elite athletes. He used compelling case studies, such as Michael Owen's infamous MCL injury, to illustrate how a lack of neuromuscular control can cause athletes to break down despite their strength and conditioning levels. Ulrik also stresses the importance of eccentric movements, explaining that many injuries happen during the deceleration phase of movement, when muscles are required to control force. His presentation emphasises the need for practitioners to look beyond muscular strength and focus on enhancing neurological control to optimise performance and reduce injury risk. The key takeaway: stability and control are the foundation of both injury prevention and athletic performance. This podcast was recorded live at the UKSCA Annual Conference.
