I would expect it to be layered yes. I assume it was.
But as i saw i donât know was it CON or yer man from Dingle then did the S&C. I saw this year gone yhey put a newbie on a generic program and he got injured and missed most of season. I saw him training, he clearly wasnât ready.
Donât see how any of that contradicts anything i said tonight.
My father used to say there were no hamstrings in his day [quote=âciarancareyshurlingarmy, post:245, topic:23638, full:trueâ]
Should the players not go back to cycling to work, dances and training? It worked for the first 75 years of the gaa

Ye joke, but ye are at the nub of it there lads. Physical inactivity in day to day life is the primary reason for most of these injuries.
Many injuries, like ACLâs, manifest themselves in a acute incident but are very often the result of a chronic condition. usually poor movement leading to poor joint angles and wear & tear.
When people worked for a living physically or at least were out more and not in front of tv and in cars for hours this was not as much of an issue.
Thats what i tell people stage 1 of S&C or indeed Personal Training is. I want them moving like someone from the 60âs.
If you ecen look at photos in club houses or old photos up to even mod 90âs, peoples posture is way better. They are straighter.
I wasnât joking. My father cycled all around the country to play and watch matches in the forties and fifties. I donât think he ever so much as pulled a muscle.
Not many of the physical working people are. But thats a natural process anyway if you do not maintain strength. We lise muscle up to a rate of 5% a year after 35ish for men, 40ish for women. Thats yhe main reason for old people getting hunched over.
I notice an unbelievable difference between old farmers, builders and everyone else. I have a 50 year painter that comes im and his stability would piss all over virtually any fresh athlete i get, unless in fact they also led a working mans life
