How do you successfully guide an injured footballer from clinical rehabilitation back to the demands of high-performance football?

Join @soccerimproved & @zkctn in Istanbul for a two-day specialist course focused on the assessment, rehabilitation and return-to-performance process for three of the most challenging lower-limb injuries in football:

• Hamstring lesions, with a specific focus on the T-junction
• Quadriceps injuries, with a specific focus on the central tendon
• Soleus-related calf injuries

Each injury block follows the same practical five-step framework:
1. Diagnosis
2. Return to Training (RTT)
3. RTT practical
4. Return to Performance (RTP)
5. RTP practical

From injury to performance⚽️

This is how we worked through the rehabilitation process with Burak Yılmaz, combining individual assessment, targeted physical preparation, progressive loading and football-specific performance work.

At SI, we believe rehabilitation is more than simply getting an athlete pain-free. The goal is to build the physical qualities needed to perform at the highest level again. 🔬💪

Now, we’re bringing this knowledge to Istanbul. 🇹🇷

📍 Istanbul
📅 17–18 October 2026

A 2-day practical course for performance coaches, physiotherapists and sports professionals who want to improve their approach to rehabilitation, injury prevention and elite football performance.

Real cases. Practical application. Scientific principles. Elite-level experience.

🎟️ Limited spots available.

DM us “ISTANBUL” for more information and registration.

Less per session, same result? 🦵

A 2026 pre-season study in 24 U19 players compared 2x 40-minute plyometric sessions/week with 3-4x 20-minute sessions/week, with an equal total number of jump contacts. Result: comparable progress in reactive strength, jump height and sprint speed: no significant difference between groups.

It’s not a lone finding. Ramirez-Campillo’s programming review (2022), a frequency-manipulation trial in male players (Moran et al., 2024), and an earlier frequency study in female players (Ramirez-Campillo et al., 2018) all point the same direction: once weekly volume is matched, how you split it matters less than you’d think.

Practical takeaway: match your total jump contacts per week, not the clock. Shorter, more frequent sessions (Cuthbert et al., 2024) are a legitimate way to fit training around fixture congestion, not a compromise.

‘More strength training = more injuries.’ Wrong. 💪  A meta-analysis of 26 RCTs (Lauersen et al., 2018, British Journal of Sports Medicine) shows a 30-70% injury reduction from strength training. A recent review in contact sports (Chen et al., 2025) confirms the dose-response relationship: more (properly dosed) strength = more protection.  The real red flag? A sudden load spike: not strength training itself.  Source: Lauersen et al. (2018), British Journal of Sports Medicine; Chen, Wang, Zhao & He (2025).  #soccerimproved #injuryprevention #strengthtraining #sportsscience by @soccerimproved
