Football and Injuries: Module 3

In this presentation, Eurico Marques, combining his experience as a former footballer with his current role as a clinical and academic physiotherapist, will provide valuable insights guided by up-to-date research. You will learn how academic research should influence clinical practice, including the links between football and osteoarthritis, and whether strapping players to enable them to play is truly effective. Eurico will clarify the difference between strength and hypertrophy and its impact on a footballer’s knee. He will also offer “pearls of wisdom” on rehabilitation strategies, aimed at achieving optimal knee function for players at all levels.
