Episode 33: Can You Prevent Injury?


Listen Later

Can you actually prevent injury… or is that a myth?

In this episode, Kurt tackles one of the biggest debates in sports medicine: injury prevention vs unpredictability. On one side, everything can be trained, measured, and managed. On the other, there are simply too many variables to control.

Breaking down factors like strength, endurance, intensity, stress, nutrition, hydration, workload, and external forces, Kurt walks through both sides of the argument—and lands in the middle.
