Running Analysis and Load Management of Bone and Tendon: Science and Practice for Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
Day 1: Running Analysis
Focus: Running Analysis, Running Technique, and Shoe Selection
Overview
This session, led by Bas Van Hooren, provides physiotherapists, trainers, and athletes with the latest scientific and clinical insights into the relationship between running technique, injuries, and performance. Participants will learn about:
- Running technique analysis.
- Gait retraining for injury prevention and treatment.
- The selection of running shoes.
- The role and limitations of wearables for runners.
The session includes a mix of theory and hands-on practice. Participants will utilise the latest artificial intelligence tools to perform running analyses, which can later be implemented for free in their practices.
Learning Objectives
By the end of Day 1, participants will:
- Be capable of conducting running technique analyses independently.
- Advise runners on optimizing running technique and shoe selection to prevent injuries and improve performance.
- Gain confidence in understanding running biomechanics in relation to injuries and performance.
Teaching Methods
- Interactive lectures
- Practical demonstrations
- Group exercises
Materials Provided
- Syllabus
- PowerPoint presentations
Day 2: Bone and Tendon Training
Focus: Training and Rehabilitation for Bone and Tendon Health
Overview
This session, led by Bas Van Hooren, focuses on the latest research regarding:
- Bone and tendon loading during sports.
- Mechanisms of overuse injuries in bones and tendons.
- Rehabilitation of bone and tendon injuries, with practical applications.
Participants will explore high-load training, stress-relaxation principles, pain management in training, and protocols for concentric, eccentric, and isometric exercises. A practical segment will allow participants to experience the application of these principles.
Learning Objectives
By the end of Day 2, participants will:
- Understand how bones and tendons respond to various types of loading.
- Recognize how overuse injuries occur from a biomechanical perspective.
- Comprehend factors such as growth and energy availability (e.g., RED-S) affecting bone and tendon health.
- Apply the latest training and rehabilitation protocols to manage and prevent bone and tendon injuries.
Key Concepts
- High-load training
- Pain-free versus pain-tolerant training
- Isometric, concentric, and eccentric exercises
- Impact loading versus sustained loading
- Progressive recovery plans for bone injuries (e.g., stress fractures)
Materials Provided
- Syllabus
- PowerPoint presentations
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for physiotherapists, trainers, and athletes seeking to deepen their knowledge and skills in gait analysis, injury prevention, and rehabilitation related to running biomechanics, bones, and tendons.
