Injury Mitigation of Combat Sports Athletes

In module three we will cover the injury mitigation strategies used within combat sports. This will cover in detail both the theoretical underpinnings of injury mitigation as well as the interventions that can be used within this specific population. By the end of this module you should have an understanding of what strategies are available to use and why, what training load implications there are for the different combat disciplines, the warm-ups that can be used within performance programs and what therapeutic modalities and recovery strategies can help assist athlete regeneration. The specific topics we will cover are:

·     Advanced Injury Mitigation Strategies

·     Training Load in Combat Sports
