If Florida ends up winning this game then.....

Their front line is going to destroy us. I hope I am wrong, but I have a terrible feeling about this matchup.

[skydawg1]

Or are you saying we need a strong guy (not named Varnado) in the paint?

 

[dawgman42]

Quite possibly the absolute dubmest post ever on this board . . . and that says a whole lot.

Equating "needing a strength coach" to a player breaking his foot. I think you are establishing yourself as the Troy McClure of allegories.

I agree that for some reason, he never touched the floor which is beyond thought as we have discussed in the past.

 

[8dog]

and Im a little pissed that Akins doesn't have the team doing more training to prevent broken bones.

 

[rugbdawg]

Common sense.

 

[jwbigcreek]

but the way we've played the whole year, I haven't been keeping up that much. Maybe they're getting better & we're getting worse.

 

[8dog]

Have you seen Wendell Lewis? The guy is pretty damn big and pretty damn thick.

 

[Dawg in Caintuck]

I agree maybe it would help in an MVC or something similar. For example, it theoretically would help with femur fractures, but not foot fractures. Feet aren't covered with much soft tissue.

Sounds like a good subject to do research on. In patients with femur/tibia/humerus fractures, measuring soft tissue coverage. Though there would be a problem with immediate post-injury swelling. I'll work on that one.

Anyway, you are right about one thing Rugb,

"Regular participation in a multifaceted resistance training programme
that begins during the preseason and includes instruction on movement
biomechanics may reduce the risk of sports-related injuries in young
athletes."
<a title="British journal of sports medicine.">Br J Sports Med.</a> 2010 Jan;44(1):56-63. Epub 2009 Nov 27.

When I think sports-related injuries, though, I think ligamentous-type things. But stress fractures in foot bones are somewhat sports-related.

 

[rugbdawg]

if I remember correctly. Or maybe it was just Reik that got in? I just remembered it really exposed Swat for what he is. A European all star.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

As in zero points scored....

 

[VirgilCain]

rugbdawg is correct, although he didn't even attempt an explanation. When you put stress on a bone (weight-lifting), the bone responds by becoming stronger and more dense. Also, stronger muscles leads to less muscle fatigue....muscle fatigue leads a decreased ability of the muscles to absorb shock.... which leads to the shock being transferred from the muscles to the bones....which then leads to an increased susceptibility for fractures.

Also, if we could get these guys to gain some weight they would most likely inadvertently get more vitamins and minerals that aid in bone strength. Even better would be a strength coach that had these guys on all kinds of supplements to intentionally strengthen their bodies, including bones.

[whatever.sixpack]

Maybe we need to drink milk and hire a coach to help us avoid early onset osteoporosis as well

Or just learn to clap harder.
