🔸EXERCISE OF THE WEEK🔸

This week’s exercise is a Single leg balance: kettlebell around the worlds

This a great exercise option to improve joint stability and overall balance- as bringing the kettlebell around the body and shifting the weight serves as a great perturbation to the joints

🔸ARTICLE OF THE WEEK🔸

The Disconnect between spine imaging and pain:
Not everything that shows up on an MRI is the cause of pain.

In a study of 3,000+ people with NO back pain, researchers found:

• 37% of people in their 20s already had disc degeneration
• 30% had disc bulges
• By age 80, 96% had disc degeneration

These findings highlight an important point:
Spine imaging needs context.

What we see on scans often reflects normal age-related changes, not necessarily the source of someone’s pain.

🔸EXERCISE OF THE WEEK🔸

This week’s exercise is a Trap Bar Deadlift!

🔸 Exercise of the Week - Broad Jump 🔸

This exercise is used to develop lower limb power through explosive triple extension (hip, knee, & ankle) as well as the ability to absorb impact, both important skills in sports that require acceleration and deceleration.

Start by standing with feet hips width apart, brace the core and in sync throw arms down and back while bending at the knees to then throw arms forward and rapidly extend the hips, knees and ankles. Ensure a soft and cushioned landing by bending at knees, hips and ankles.

Regressions: Tall to short (landing mechanics)
Progressions: Tall to short into broad jump

▪️Article of the Week - Exercise in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: focus on individualised exercise approach ▪️

Exercise is widely recommended as first-line, non-pharmacological therapy for Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) but for many patients, it’s not that simple.
Exercise intolerance, severe orthostatic symptoms, and fatigue can make traditional, high-intensity programs unrealistic and unsustainable. So what’s the answer?

This review highlights the importance of individualised, patient-centred exercise programming — particularly resistance based exercise delivered by an exercise professional. For those who are bed-bound or experience severe symptoms accessible and tailored support may be the key to building tolerance safely and progressively.

The takeaway?
✔️ Exercise is medicine — but it must be prescribed appropriately.
✔️ One-size-fits-all doesn’t work in POTS.
✔️ Remote, individualised programs may bridge the gap for those with severe symptoms.

▪️ Article of the week: Priming Exercises and Their Potential Impact on Speed and Power Performance ▪️

Traditional Resistance Exercises: short sessions comprising one or two exercises performed under moderate to heavy load with low volume of sets and reps are recommended. Greatest effects seen 4-6hrs later.

Ballistic Exercises: Evident that priming sessions consisting of multiple sets of ballistic exercises with light loads are highly effective in optimising athletic performance while minimising acute fatigue. Greatest effects seen at the 6th hr and 24th hr.
Maximal Sprints: Sprint-based priming should involve no more than 6 sets of short sprints.

🔸Exercise of the week 🔸

Glute Bridge March
