Pacey Performance Podcast

Hamstring injuries; what do we know about them, how do we avoid them and how do we rehab them with Dr. Anthony Shield (Senior Lecturer at Queensland University of Technology)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure in speaking to Senior Lecturer at Queensland University of Technology, Dr. Anthony Shield. Dr. Shield and his colleague Dr. Opar are the brains behind the NordBord, a tool to measure eccentric and isometric hamstring strength which prompted a lot of discussions in this episode. As well as the work he has done himself in this area, Dr. Shield also supervises a number of Ph.D. students who are looking further into the hamstrings and their functions.

In this episode, you will learn - 

  • Who is Tony Shields (education, background etc)
  • What we know about hamstring injuries
  • 'Functional' exercises 
    • Confusion around the term
  • How they relate to hamstring injury
  • Nordics
    • Why the debate
  • Why the apparent stigma
  • Alternatives
  • Assessments
  • Where the research is heading
  • Anthony can be found on Twitter @das_shield
