#117 - Training for AFL Part 1: Injury Prevention and Tissue Quality
Durham and Jacob cover the injury landscape in AFL, a sport that asks athletes to sprint, tackle, change direction and do it all over again week after week. They work through the most common soft tissue problems, what actually causes them, and how to build the kind of tissue quality that keeps you on the field. A practical starting point for any AFL athlete serious about staying healthy.
