Episode 5: Rate of Force Development

Welcome to episode number 5 of The Residents of the Roundtable Podcast. Join Joey, Rayce, and Robert, as they discuss the article "The time has come to incorporate a greater focus on rate of force development training in the sports injury rehabilitation process." Traditional physical therapy has largely emphasized improving range of motion, strength, endurance, and motor control, while neglecting power and rate of force development. We discuss strategies to measure rate of force development in both a typical orthopedic clinical setting as well as a sports performance rehabilitation setting. Similarly, we dive into exercise structure, programming, and implementing variability into the periodization of the rehabilitation process. 

Let us know what you think!
