Sport Injury Prevention Workshop 2024 (free for everyone)
Studies indicate that warm-up programs focusing on neuromuscular training can lower the likelihood of sports-related injuries in young athletes by 30-70%, outperforming traditional warm-ups that combine aerobic exercises, as well as static and dynamic stretches.
Engagement in sports and physical activities offers countless health advantages, both for physical and mental well-being. Avoiding injuries means less downtime and more chances for active participation, which in turn promotes a healthier lifestyle
In this 2-hour active workshop learn neuromuscular training exercises, including cueing athletes & identifying common errors.
- Have the opportunity to practice performing the exercises.
- Discuss strategies for implementation with your athletes. Receive resources to support program delivery with our athletes.

Neuromuscular Training: The New Standard of Practice for Warm-Ups
Warm-up programs centered on neuromuscular training may vary slightly depending on the sport or activity, yet they all incorporate four fundamental types of exercises: aerobic, balance, strength, and agility.
These exercises require minimal to no equipment, utilizing one’s own body weight, a partner, or resistance bands for resistance.
The key emphasis of these warm-up routines is on executing exercises with correct movement techniques. Regular and accurate performance of these exercises in a controlled setting, like a warm-up session, helps establish safe movement patterns during sports and activities, thereby lowering the injury risk.
