The trouble with movement screens and the skill-based solution of the Athletic Movement Assessment If you exercise, you've probably done some type of assessment, whether it's blood pressure, a functional movement screen, or a bootcamp instructor screaming in your ear while you attempt to hang on to a treadmill going 12 mph at a 10% incline. What made that screen meaningful?  How was that information used to help you achieve your goals?  Did it predict injuries?  Did it predict skill?  Did it result in practical and effective solutions?  Do screens employ a one-size-fits-all approach, or do they give practitioners and individuals specialized tools to solve specific problems?  Do they reveal issues that don't actually exist?  More importantly, if we assess only ONCE, and not repeatedly, does that assessment have any meaningful impact on our long-term prospects? In this episode, entitled One And Done, we join Dr. Patrick Welsh, Co-Founder and Director of Athletic Movement Assessment, in a discussion on the background and limitations of clinical and gym-based movement screens.  Dr. Welsh presents a new, skill-based, iterative approach, designed to empower practitioners and clients with tools that truly uncover the roots of function, leading to more intuitive and productive solutions. For more information about Athletic Movement Assessment, visit their website at www.athleticmovementassessment.com In this episode we discuss: Background and limitations of past and present assessment models Informative vs predictive assessments The roles of the practitioner and client in regards to recovery and performance Guidelines for decision making vs binary conclusions after assessments The need for re-assessment   Glossary: Assessment - The estimation or evaluation of the nature, quality or ability of someone or something Dynamic Knee Valgus - A measurement of frontal plane motion of the knee where the femur and shank move medially causing lateral compression and medial distraction Palliative Maneuvers - An intervention designed with the intent to improve movement quality Sensori-Motor Model - A paradigm of information input, decision-making, and motor output, that characterizes how and why movements emerge in response to task constraints   You might also like: Season 1, Episode 1 - Why We Move https://www.thinkfitbefitpodcast.com/why-we-move/  Season 2, Episode 6 - The Goldilocks Zone https://www.thinkfitbefitpodcast.com/the-goldilocks-zone/  Season 3, Episode 3 - Go With The Flow https://www.thinkfitbefitpodcast.com/in-the-flow/  Follow the guests on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athleticmovementassessment/  Follow our hosts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnessforconsumption/ Follow the podcast network:https://www.instagram.com/thinkfitbefit_podcast/ Fitness For Consumptions episodes can be found at: https://www.thinkfitbefitpodcast.com/tag/f4c/

If you've been attuned to conventional fitness wisdom, at some point you've been advised to avoid certain exercises, like leg extensions, at all costs.  Why?  Because of the noxious shear stress that may damage your knees.  Do you too have the Fear of Shear? Shear is a type of force that arises when adjacent structures move in opposing directions, and frankly, it occurs in most joint motion. So, if that's the case, why does its presence ring so many alarm bells in the heads and hearts of physical therapists, trainers, doctors and fitness enthusiasts? Well, it might have something to do with a paper published in the early 1990's by members of the esteemed Mayo Clinic that found significantly higher levels of shear at the ACL in an open chain vs closed chain condition.  Their unambiguous conclusion?  Avoid open chain exercises, like leg extensions, if you are rehabbing an injured or newly reconstructed ACL.  Of course, that translates into “avoid leg extensions at all costs, period.” So, is this settled wisdom?  Or…what can we learn when we put on our mental magnifying glasses and sift through The Fine Print?   In this episode we discuss: The terminal knee extension “paradox” Did the conditions set up by investigators favor a certain outcome? Did the subjects' amount of practice time affect the outcomes? How significant, in terms of possible tissue failure, was the stress placed on the ACL in the open chain? What are the real life conditions that lead to ACL injuries? Do they happen in open or closed chain conditions? Join us in The Fear of Shear, our third installment of our The Fine Print series, where we take a second look at research publications and expose some details easily missed at a first glance.  Should you avoid open chain exercises?  Well, you'll have to listen for yourself and make an informed choice, but if you're avoiding knee extensions because you've got the Fear of Shear,  perhaps, fear not. Glossary: Closed Chain Exercise* - An exercise in which the terminal end of the segment is fixed and restrained. Open Chain Exercise* - An exercise in which the terminal end of the segment is free to move.

Season 3, Episode 7: Center of Attention The Center of Mass and Movement Efficiency Don't miss this VISUAL podcast: Watch the YouTube Raise your hand if you've heard this before; the center of mass of a body, and its current relationship to a line of force, will have a significant impact on how efficiently that body moves.  If you've heard it, it very well may have been from us, about two episodes ago in The Forest Through The Trees (Season 3, Episode 5).  It's not that we've run out of ideas already, it's that we feel this information is so important to helping you make quality movement decisions, whether in sport or exercise, that we wanted to double down, elucidate further and provide some clear imagery so you can visualize what we're explaining.   Things like plates on a bench press or the speed on a treadmill are things we can see and make sense of with our naked eye.  As with joint torques, the center of mass (COM), center of gravity (COG) and ground reaction forces (GRF) are not visually detectable without sophisticated instrumentation.  While these concepts may initially appear a bit abstract, they are absolutely critical to understanding what is happening when we move. We know this is tricky stuff, and NOT something you might come across easily on a social media scroll.  But we also know that with a little time, and some better teaching tools, you can understand this fluently.  That's why we've done a first of its kind (for us) visual episode going through all of it in detail.  We illustrate lines of force, and examine them through computer generated models, explaining clearly how subtle differences of position can have a significant impact on how efficiently, or inefficiently a given exercise will be performed.  We pride ourselves on not being “click-baitey” here at F4C, but, simply put; If you lunge, you MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO!   In this episode we discuss: A recap on how posture(s) affect performance How we can set up a lunge so that more of the load is on the forward leg How the traditional lunge position can limit activity from your plantar flexors Why a standing cable press demands significantly lighter loads and how we modify our posture to enhance loading   Glossary:   Base of Support (BOS) - The area scribed by every point of contact between a body and its supporting surface.    Center of Gravity (COG) - The vertical projection of the center of mass through the Base of Support (BOS).   Center of Mass (COM) - A point within an object or body at which all the constituent segments of that mass sum to zero; the point at which the object or body is balanced; the point at which a force may be applied to cause a linear acceleration without any rotational acceleration.   References:   Hofmann, C.L., Holyoak, D.T. and Juris, P.M.
