Load Management: Training Smarter and Harder
Dr. Tim Gabbett has built a distinguished career by working with elite professional athletes and publishing his research in esteemed scientific journals that undergo rigorous peer review. His publication record boasts over 300 articles, and he has presented at more than 400 national and international conferences. Dr. Gabbett’s Load Management Workshop, which has been conducted on six continents and in 24 countries, combines the most recent scientific information on training with practical strategies that can be applied immediately in clinical settings, with patients, athletes, or sporting teams.
Sports Injury Assessment: Tοp clinical tests
A wide variety of anatomical structures can be involved in a sports injury. To return to play as soon as possible is of utmost importance to an athlete, and in order to achieve this, a correct, all-inclusive diagnosis is essential.
The literature review indicated that sports injuries (both acute and overuse) are increasing in number due to the growing interest in physical activity and sport, as well as the enhanced intensity of training programmes. Adults are vulnerable to both types of sports injuries, and the age of occurrence of overuse injuries varies in competitive and non-competitive athletes. The importance of making an accurate diagnosis cannot be overemphasised.
Assesment, classification and managment of chronic pain in athletes. An update
Dr. Eleni Kapreli, a professor at the University of Thessaly, will be the speaker at the seminar on chronic pain. Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is associated with significant healthcare costs. The inability to correlate the extent of tissue damage with the magnitude of pain, disability, and associated symptoms represents a diagnostic challenge for health professionals. Some studies reveal that chronic pain has a global prevalence of over 30%, resulting in substantial personal and financial hardships. Chronic pain should be viewed as a disease, unlike acute pain which is just one component of various symptoms.
Return to sports after hamstring injuries
Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) can lead to significant impairment, reduced activity, and limited participation, often resulting in time away from competitive sports. These injuries are common among both recreational and professional athletes, with professional athletes experiencing a higher incidence—approximately 29% within the athletic community( Adriana Geraci et all, 2024). This is largely due to movements that involve rapid and forceful hamstring lengthening. This workshop will cover both theoretical and practical approaches, from the initial injury to return-to-play stages (including diagnosis, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation), aimed at enhancing an athlete’s ability to safely resume their sport.
