In this podcast James Walsh talks to Chris Macdonald and Professor Daniel Leiberman they dive into the lively discussion generated by this paper.

They discuss the reasons why exercise is not effective medicine from an evolutionary perspective, the differences between effective and efficacious interventions, and how clinicians can adapt their approach to help their patients get the most out of exercise.

In this episode, Dr Kyle Winik is joined by Adam Weir, Hans Tol, and Rod Whiteley, all actively involved in the Sport and exercise medicine field to discuss hamstring injuries and an approach to a challenging injury in practice.

This was recorded live from the IOC 15th Advanced Team Physician Course, in Rome, Italy.

Through the episode they discuss an approach to a patient with a hamstring injury but also tackle some important questions about if there are any ways to speed up or predict an accurate return to play.”

In this episode, Dr Brooke Patterson is joined by Dr Bas Vanhooren, an applied sport scientist and strength and conditioning specialist, and a national level athlete. They discuss the BJSM Academy award winning PhD on “Innovative approaches to injury prevention and performance enhancement in running: insights from PhD research on hamstring strengthening, running biomechanics and energetics, and wearable technology”.

This podcast forms a part of an ongoing series which aims to highlight the work of early career researchers, via the BJSM PhD Academy Awards, and in this series, we will also be asking the guests how they first got involved in research, why they decided to do a PhD, what they loved and what they found most challenging, and their career pathway or plans post-PhD. There are many ways to for clinicians to be involved in research, and we hope to highlight these along the way.

Brooke also highlights a new exciting initiative – The Training and Career Development Network developed by the IOC Research Centres.
