SIK Summit: Dr. Jarred Boyd- The Movement vs. Muscle Conundrum: Has The Pendulum Swung Too Far

The intent of the presentation is to discuss when "training" muscles vs. movements should be considered in the reconditioning and physical preparation process. Understanding, the variables and contextual factors that revolve around such a divisive concept is critical in improving decision making. This presentation will equip individuals with an additional lens for discerning the relevance of kinetics and kinematics.

• Discuss the relevance of kinematics vs. kinetics revolving reconditioning of the injured athlete
• Describe the concept of training movement vs. muscles from an exercise application premise
• Dissect the variables that coalesce into the end stage goal(s) of return to play
• Delineate the entities of dynamic systems theory and where they fit on the movement vs. muscle spectrum
