Episode 51 of the “Coach Hos Podcast” we have the honor to speaking with Coach Mike Boyle, MBSC https://youtu.be/P9MP7YGZOhc 0-5 Introduction of Mike Boyle . Should high school athletes turn back to sport between 6-9 months mark post operative ACL repair? The data is clear, earlier return, higher chance of re tearing. Understanding importance of the ability to decelerate. Not ready to return until athlete can decelerate under high force. The problem with "decel drills" being used and not testing an individual under running 100%. Interpreting the FLY 10 TEST. Looking at athlete's best vertical jump. 5-10 The single leg hop and triple leg hop test is antiquated and not practical. How physical therapy is going backwards as a profession with sports performance. Poor criteria for return to play. 10-15 Machine company pushing products and influencing rehab and training environments. Leg extensions are not as important as being implied. Plenty of functional exercises that will isolate the quads. The poor status and presentation of athletes being discharged from physical therapy. Go to exercise is the split squat and assault bike sprints! Athletes should not be in pain during rehab! 15-20 The problem with the Biodex and isolated testing as a hang the hat on metric. Considering multiple factors. Really diving into the "research" and looking at bias and self funded researching, old school "quad and hamstring" talk. 20-25 Understanding why functional movements are important for sports performance and translating into the sport. ACL multi factorial, considering the turf and the shoes. Turf and shoe companies want no responsibility for contributing to tears. Injuries still on grass, still overall issues with poor training even at professional level. Importance of unilateral hopping bounding and progressions. 10 single leg squats with 30% of bodyweight. 25-30 Importance of single leg jumping towards the mid line. Understanding female puberty contributing to injury. Gaining weight in breast size and wider hips but not enough muscle mass. Wrong shoes on wrong surfaces, Body position affecting injury in sports, field hockey vs soccer and lacrosse. Knee bent position. Problem with "all purpose" cleats. Rehab needs to get better. Approaching 4 month mark and starting to progress into strength and conditioning. 30-35 Poor programming in therapy and wasting time. Understanding growth spurts and proper progressions to establish check points and getting strong at weak links, no away around it. Plyometric progressions, able to single leg hop 5 times over a 12-inch hurdle. The ability to demonstrate "athleticism".  35-40 Power and reactivity, strength and deceleration techniques. Understanding good trainers and good physical therapists. What it takes to be in a late stage return to play setting. CSCS vs. CFSC certification. Book application vs. practical. 40-43 Close Out COACH JOE HOS: Coach Hos, owner of SPORTS REHAB PA/FLA.
