Physio Edge 057 Advanced Running Tests & Optimising Performance with Tom Goom

Helping our running patients recover and return to running following injury is our primary rehab priority, however we may also have the opportunity to help improve their running performance. Runners are often motivated by improving their speed, performance and times, and incorporating these goals into their rehab can increase motivation and exercise compliance. How then can we help our patients to improve their performance when returning from an injury? Find out in this episode of the Physio Edge podcast with Tom Goom

You will also discover:

  • Why consider performance?
  • How might we assess performance in a more scientific way?
  • What are the benefits of performance tests?
  • How can we link it to other aspects e.g. gait analysis?
  • How does performance influence training structure and progression?
  • How do we optimise performance in injured athletes?
