Welcome to the second of our Journal Clubs.
This one is all about nutritional interventions to support recovery from ligament injury. This is an interesting one as you cannot do a randomised control trial in humans to investigate this (funnily enough, it is unethical to tear people’s tendons intentionally, or deny athletes potentially beneficial and career supportive treatment!).
We focus this discussion on the following paper:
Shaw, G., Serpell, B., and Baar, K. (2019). Rehabilitation and nutrition protocols for optimising return to play from traditional ACL reconstruction in elite rugby union players: A case study. Journal of Sports Sciences, 37 (5), 1794 - 1803.
Our next long form podcast is coming soon!
