INSIDE THE LAB - WHY ARE THERE SO MANY HAMSTRING INJURIES IN THE AFL THIS SEASON?

Here are my thoughts on the current chat in the media about the hamstring injury crisis in the AFL.

Why are AFL players at risk for Hamstring strain?

Put simply, the AFL is the most physically demanding sport in the world. These athletes run at fast speeds frequently. By being at these high speeds under accumulated fatigue, hamstring injury risk is increased.

Why I think it’s overreaction from the media?

The injury rate for all injuries (especially soft tissue injuries) is always at its highest rate in the early parts of the season. Why? The body has not been accustomed to the physical stress demand that the early season spike brings. This is true for all sports, not just the AFL.

Other high risk windows of injury are the first few weeks of pre-season and the first few weeks after Christmas break. This is due to again a spike in physical stimulus.

What can athletes do to reduce injury risk?

Invest in yourself to get the best out of yourself. The best ability is availability. Getting coached in person by a strength and conditioning coach like myself and many others, is the most evidence based approach to improving performance and reducing injury risk.

Back to work this so time certainly was my enemy.

This week was always going to be a test, adjusting to poor sleep quality and quantity, balancing running a business in healthcare, and of course being PJ’s dad. But the sad part is my new favourite hobby!

Was pretty happy with what was achieved this week. The extra run with the seagulls boys was good to squeeze in an extra tough HIIT session. The strength sessions definitely need improvement, and to do that I need a plan.

I’m going to write up my dad bod program at some stage next week. This will give me structure and routine. Having a program is absolutely essential! No AI programs, as it needs to be individualised. It also needs to consider the many factors of the human. Robots can’t do that. They never will, and they don’t therefore have anyway to manage injury risk.

Dad of PJ out ✌️

Last 2 days of dad life.

First day back at work, so finally felt the pinch even on reduced hours.

Workout was just that, a workout. Nothing fancy, just two upper body movements. Had sweet f all energy, so something is better than nothing and that’s the whole point of this series.

How good is getting home to your kid?!!

13/03/2026

I am back in the clinic Monday

Though, I’ll certainly miss paternity leave 💙

If you have been putting off finally getting that ache, pain or injury checked out and sorted. Ensure you book in your spot so that I can help you get on track!

Booking’s are available through the link in the bio.

New Age Dad Bod Series - Ep4

Wednesdays are always my biggest day of the week!

Once I’m back from paternity leave, everything will certainly get harder to complete on top of dad duties, osteopath duties, S&C at Wynnum Manly, and just trying to run a business as a one man show.

Tips for new dads or dads who are struggling to get exercise in.

1. Do it socially - Run Clubs are great & .runclub is the best(no bias at all)

2. Get a coach to keep you accountable on days you might either not feel it or just can’t be arsed.

3. Do something that is achievable!
4. Read 3 again!

If you’re a dad and needing help with exercise, I can write up a personalised plan for you based off your fitness levels, time, and goals.

My DMs are always open.

Early Sunday morning run with .runclub

Legs were cement from less than ideal sleep quantity, and if I’m honest my sleep hasn’t been too bad. Cass has been a superstar and having her mum to help really has made the start to parenthood much easier on me. Big shoutout to these super women ❤️

It’s going to get far harder when I’m back in the office full time, so I am looking forward to embracing that chaos 😅

A little slow run is 30 minutes of movement achieved. A little of something is always better than nothing.

Also it’s Collingwood’s season opener tonight. A sleeping Parker, will certainly be my silencer this season 😂

I promise, I won’t yell at the TV Cass 🖤🤍

The modern age Dad Bod

Fit, healthy, strong, conditioned, energetic, inspiring to their children.

Research shows strongly that if children see exercise as a normal part of life (from their parents example) and that it brings many benefits, they are more likely to positively engage in exercise/sport.

How to squeeze in exercise in such a busy routine?

1. Complete up to 3 sessions a week as this is certainly achievable (individuals obviously vary).
2. Complete gym sessions that are a full body focus (not as sore/regular dosage of both upper/lower body over the week).
3. Superset the exercises to save a lot of time. This session that on paper looks lengthy, took about 30 minutes.
4. Remembering that even a little bit is a big win (my run was only 3kms, but that is certainly better than 0km)

My Favourite Strength Exercise for Improving Acceleration - Sled March

Those athletes who have great acceleration ability, leave their opposition chasing their tale.

Acceleration is crucial for all sports, especially field based sports like AFL, Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer. The list goes on. Acceleration is fundamental to athletic athletes.

Acceleration requires high amounts of force being pushed down and back into the ground. Longer ground contact times with big powerful steps. The first 3-5 steps is where acceleration is extremely important.

This is why the sled march is one of my absolute favourites. Heavy sled, trains acceleration mechanics if done well and long forceful ground contacts! It ticks all the boxes.

Slalom Jumps To Improve Knee Absorption

I’ve had the privilege to work with a 3 time Winter Olympian in my career. A particular part of their sport was having to absorb large amounts of frequent force!

They did this slalom style.

This exercise can be modified to train different qualities of knee absorption and bounce. Not only a great drill for winter sport athletes, it’s one all field and court based athletes should have in their program.

Deep tier Slalom Jumps trains the ability to absorb force in the knees whilst jumping laterally. The better our joints, tendons and muscles can absorb force, the better they are at braking suddenly. This is a fundamental skill that if trained enough and done well, can reduce ACL injury risk.

When and how should these be programmed? Send me a message and we can discuss where they fit in your training program.
