    I'd love to see Tifo talk about something we fans take for granted, which is rehab. Rehabbing an injury, any injury, is a drag, but serious ones like major ligament tears, are an enormous hurdle to get over, both physically and mentally, and most of these dudes are doing it way faster than any of us could even imagine doing so.

    I ruined my 'semimembrosis' hamstring when playing football in 2019, I accidentally did the splits on a slippery astroturf whilst taking a turn in goal. It was an absolute killer. Took a year for me to heal. I didn't go to a physio because I am in living in another Country from my own and it was too much trouble. But at one point during the year, thinking it had healed, I began running through a school after teaching, and it just gave up on me, I completely lost all balance and toppled over. Very embarassing. It took a long time to trust my leg again and as I say it has taken a year of gym work and slow building. It's not as though I am or was anywhere near professional footballer standard, But I was always among the quickest in any team, so it really is very debilitating and psychologically overshadowing when you then have to worry about pushing yourself too far when sprinting.
    Mortality... Plus I'm in my 30's, so I guess it's only gonna get worse!

    As a sports therapy student the main mechanism of injury for a hamstring strain is the deceleration, so when you’re running at 75% pace or more then suddenly slowing down. This was shown with son on Sunday in the north London Derby.

    I have sprained my ankle twice in 2016/17 but I was able to come Back without any kind of fear of injuring my ankle again and played even better than before, I was playing for the under 17 of a local team here in my city, Curitiba Brasil at that time. In 2019 I stopped playing football since I had to focus on my academic career and I knew that even if I was the best technical player on my team I wasn’t going to be a pro because I didn’t have the contacts that the others had. Now in november 2022 playing on a sunday league game I had a grade 1 hamstring strain, I got 1 month of recovery and then I started training again. First game after the recovery time I had the same injury, again, another 1 month of recovery, but the first game of this year was going to be only on 15th of january, last sunday, and guess what? 52 minutes into the game and I feel a pop, hamstring again… Muscular injuries are the worst to have, you’ll never know when they are going to happen. If you had a knee injury you kind of know the movements you can’t do anymore but with muscular injuries it’s not possible, specially when it comes to hamstring injury , it may happen when you are running, blocking a shot or even Passing the ball. Anyways, I rather have a sprained ankle and stay 2 to 3 weeks of recovery than having a hamstring grade 1 strain and staying 4 to 6 weeks without playing

    Ryan Giggs is one of a few players to bounce back from repeated hamstring injuries and actually managed to tweak his style and become a better player for it - which is something considering the better part of his career was built on pace, acceleration and dribbling (Only talking about his football career, so spare me the usual non-football related spiel).

    Damn now this is the kind of content I didn't know but needed. I hardly pulled a hamstring in my playing days and i simply thought to just "walk it off". I applied the same mindset to professionals on the pitch but now I definitely understand why players are out for weeks from it 😳.
    Bonus too that this will definitely improve my fpl team when one of my players gets hit with the injury icon and I can move them on long or short term depending on the medical diagnosis 😄

  • @Santon-Motho
    @Santon-Motho Před 3 lety +1

    Torres’ story I feel for a lot. I remember he played with this style quite effectively: receiving the ball in-front of the defensive line, then from being slightly turned away from the defenders and seemingly posing little threat he’d burst into a quick turn, accelerating through the small space between two defenders and before you knew it he was one on one with the keeper. It was devastating. It might also be what cost him his hamstring however, especially considering how stopped using that style of play when injuries became commonplace in his career. One of my favourite players pre-injury, El Niño 💔

    And yet, the Nordic Hamstring exercise is not implemented more. It actually has a tremendous effect on reducing the risk of a hamstring tear. The clubs know this, but my guess is sunce the exercise is so extremely uncomfortable the compliance is so low.

    When I was 21 I was playing a lot of hockey and soccer and kept playing for a week or so after initially injuring my leg (thought it was just bruising from a collision in the rink). One day after a soccer game I literally couldn’t get out of my car and had to call my gf at the time to help me out, she took one look at the blood pooling across the entire upper half of my right leg and took me to the hospital. After a couple MRIs they determined that, at the very least, I had partially torn my quad and hamstring. Was on crutches for a month or so and kept playing sports recreationally but my leg was never the same after that, even five years later it itched deep (probably from healed scar tissue) in such a way that I couldn’t satiate it, and it would flare up with pain/instability that made it hard to play sports or workout. These sorts of injuries are no joke...

    quick question in regards to the scar tissue not having as much elasticity...did the study say that? or is that an inference the TIFO guys are making based off of a quick glance at the subject matter at hand...not here to completely disagree with the sentiment that "scar tissue is less elastic than its former", however empirically i have knowledge of a handful of extra-active individuals who have rebounded quite emphatically, not only get back to where they were but to supersede their athletic capabilities before the injury.

    I'd be curious to know how many players are re-injured due to being rushed back. Just because they're capable of playing doesn't mean they're fully healed. It can take months to fully recover from a muscle injury or sprain. The last time I sprained my ankle (fairly mild) it lingered for 4 months even though I was only off my feet for a week.

    Its interesting how groin and hamstring are the worst injuries to have in football, meanwhile torn Achilles and ACL are the worst in basketball. Hamstring injury is not that big of a thing in basketball.

      It is due to the movements used in the 2 sports. In basketball you are rarely sprinting and max intent therefore a hamstring injury is less likely, not saying its unlikely. Basketball is a lot of jumping so therefore the achilles is used to store incredible amounts of force explaining that.

      @@BadassBikerOwns Fair enough, I don't follow basketball so I wouldn't know just assumed. Hamstring injuries are generally fast recovery depending on the grade of the tear. Muscle injuries for that are easier to come back from rather than Tendon or ligament tears due to the tendons and ligaments having poor blood supply, if that helps your question.
