The other night On 1620 I thought was fascinating regarding physical contact in practices.
Rob, who many know is an MD, said you have to have physical contact (not tear each other’s heads off) but physical body contact regularly, like at least weekly practice in order to build up sound soft tissue and connective tissue so not to get injured in games as easily. Like you will not have the same physical development and will actually be more prone to these soft tissue types of injuries we’ve seen way too much of this century here.
Not just to rep things like tackling but that working on tackling builds up different type of strength that doesn’t get built up lifting.
He also said some of the pelvic injuries and types of hernias he’s heard of at UNL he can’t find in his medical dictionaries.
Great stuff.
