Simon Ward, Be Battle Ready - The podcast for strength, resilience, and longevity

Why we get injuries, and what we can do to prevent them * Alison Rose


Listen Later

I recently asked some folks on my Facebook pages about their biggest concerns related to getting older and how it would impact their training or racing. By far the biggest concern was the fear of injury. I also hear a lot of triathletes stating that they are maintaining swim and bike speed with age, but regardless of what they do they are running much more slowly. This raised a few questions:
 
  • Why do we run slower as we get older, and is this inevitable?
  • Is injury inevitable with ageing?
  • Are males more prone to injury than females or are there different injury patterns?
  • Most importantly, what actions can we all take which will help us to become more resilient and limit or even avoid injury?
  •  
    To answer these questions I invited Alison Rose, founder of the Coach House Sports Injury Clinic (CSPC) in Leeds to join me for a chat. At CSPC, Alison and her team of physios help athletes to return to competition after injury, but they also encourage them to take proactive actions so that they can stay healthy. Some of our discussion topics include
    • Proactive visits to see your physio
  • Pay more attention to foot and ankle care
  • Skipping to improve 'ping and spring’
  • The benefits of deliberate breathing practice
  • Daily heel raises to build calf strength
  • The importance of balance work for older athletes
  • To find out more about Alison Rose and the services that they provide at the Coach House Sports Physiotherapy Clinic please visit http://www.cspc.co.uk/.
    Alison also recommended the following books that have inspired and interested her:
    Fast after 50 - Joe Friel
    The Light We Carry  - Michelle Obama
    Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson 
     
    Alison also recommended these podcasts. Of the Steven Bartlett one she said, "I liked this one as it's informative and also a good image of how important health is to our lives."
    The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett 
    And this Dr Louise Newson podcast for any for female listeners wanting to empower themselves with knowledge around the menopause:
