Sports Injury Science Webinar Series

Online Courses Strength & Conditioning Personal Training FITREC LEVEL B Injury Prevention

As practitioners working within sports performance and with general populations alike, it is vital that coaches have a solid understanding of the epidemiology related to sports-related injuries, the associated risk factors with such injuries, and how such injuries can be prevented via effective Performance Training. The Sports Injury Science Webinar Series aims to provide coaches with a greater level of knowledge of such injuries, their causes, and evidence-based preventive strategies.

The Sports Injury Science Webinar Series explores the overall injury prevention process within strength and conditioning practice, the epidemiology and the injury risk factors associated with Achilles tendonitis, lateral ankle sprains, patellofemoral pain, ITB syndrome, lower back pain and lumbopelvic training, shoulder impingements, overuse injuries, and the research findings on injury prevention specific to each of these common injuries.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the relationship between athletic performance and athlete robustness
  • Describe the injury prevention process including the identification of the common injury risk factors associated with an athlete's chosen sport, injury epidemiology, and implementation of preventive measures
  • Gain a greater overall understanding of sports injury science and the prevention of sports injuries
  • Explain the epidemiology, prevention, and rehabilitation guidance of ankle injuries in sports including Achilles tendinopathy and lateral ankle sprains
  • Explain the epidemiology, prevention, and rehabilitation guidance of knee injuries in sports including  anterior cruciate ligament injuries, patellofemoral pain, and Iliotibial band syndrome 
  • Explain the epidemiology of spinal injuries within sport
  • Describe the protective mechanisms of the lumbopelvic complex including intra-abdominal pressure, thoracolumbar fascia, myofascial slings, optimal spinal mechanics, and the importance of hip mobility and stability
  • Describe Lumbopelvic training theory including low and high threshold lumbopelvic exercises, the relationship between trunk endurance and lower spinal injuries, lumbopelvic training exercise categories
  • Explain epidemiology, prevention, and rehabilitation guidance of shoulder injuries in sport including supraspinatus impingement, shoulder overuse injuries, and shoulder muscular imbalances
