“Repeated high-volume events, such as weekend tournaments consisting of multiple full-length games, may also result in higher levels of accumulated stress that can overwhelm the intervening recovery.” https://t.co/cqEQQxqSlh

@nickysmalls__ @Jradzz1 @1617_5k @KuKhahil That is incorrect in regard to strength training. Usually it would be calisthenics which would help with that. But increase in athleticism is causing more injuries. This is just an example studied in young athletes https://t.co/C4STkYmN2b

@Timboreed To strengthen bones, ligaments (make sure done supervised and proper technique) Finally if Ill even if a head cold should fully back off until better. A few references: https://t.co/e2pKwJJhf4 https://t.co/tUtyaL0fiO https://t.co/i5sctISjU6 https://t.co/CetzvV94Ui
