Weakness precedes injury.
It’s actually a difficult claim to validate with research but I found a piece that did it.
Those who had a peak isometric force of 1.8x bodyweight (on a single-leg) went on to injury their calf or Achilles.
Those who had a peak isometric force of 1.92x bodyweight stayed healthy.
In elite sport, with the fear of Achilles ruptures, it’s wise to check the box here and test peak plantarflexor force.

A 4-week caloric restriction with high volume resistance-training and high-protein diet does not increase fat-free mass sparing but increases strength

It doesn’t just seem like calf and hamstring injuries are plaguing the NBA. The data confirms it. What’s behind this worrying trend, and what can the league do about it?

While muscle growth is certainly reduced in elderly people compared to young people, increases in tendon stiffness appear to be less markedly affected. This shows that not all strength training adaptations are similarly affected by age.

Incredibly grateful for the support the inaugural Traverse City Tendon Summit received.
Intimate setting. High-level content. Real conversations. Reasons we built it.
To keep the event sustainably small yet pay speakers fairly, recordings are available: traversecitytendonsummit.com…

Classifications are a good "starting point" and, for sure, BAMIC was a game-changer. But we need to go deeper in every injury and athlete. Tailor their diagnosis and prognosis. BAMIC can be used in other muscle groups although it was created for hamstring but it has limitations

It's a good classification for a 'common language' platform but it can't be extrapolated to all muscle injuries
It was developed for hamstring - it runs into trouble in calf, rec fem.....
In the words of @carlespedret -
'It’s like if one oncologist creates a classification system for prostate cancer and all the rest of the world decide that it can be applied to all the rest of the cancers. It doesn't make sense'

- General protocols are not useful. One size DOESN'T fit all.
- The less aggressive we are with muscle injuries, the better they evolve.
- In every muscle complex (i.e. RF or hamstring) we can find different injuries (tend, MT, MF...) that need to be managed differently.

A few more general "take-home" messages from @footballmed and @IsokineticMed
- Surgery is not a failure of the conservative management. It has its indications, and every time are clearer.
- Management of myotendionous injuries must be individualised, even more, TAILORED.
