Singapore Gymnastics recently invited clubs and coaches who are involved in the high performance pathway to attend a session with Dr Ross Tucker, discussing how to minimise injury risk when returning to training. The following are some key points from the session.
Almost half the injuries athletes incur are avoidable.
Keep track of your injury rates so you know if there is something unusual happening.
Coaches and athletes can reflect on trainings.
Ask good questions and measure things, so you can make the 'unknowable' more understood.
