So for developing the strength through the whole posterior chain, we're looking at glutes, we're looking at hamstrings, we're doing a lot of calf work, and we can develop that whole posterior part. It reduces the incidence of being pulled in one direction and the misalignment of forces. The other is the cutting motion where we're looking at lateral movement.

So a lot of times when we're looking at warmups and you're observing on like kids sports, there's not a lot of lateral development. So if we're looking at prevention of ACL tear, we have to work a lot of the explosive lateral movements as well as jumping and single leg jumping. And these are things that aren't really done in grassroots.

But as we start to get more into professional sport, it's becoming more and more apparent that we have to do specific mechanism of injury prevention. So they're looking at the sport. We're a football player. We have a high incidence of ACL potential. So we have to really develop our posterior chain. We have to work on our power for our lateral movements, our step and our jump.

So this is part of what FIFA has put in for the warm-up because there is such a draw. And as you were saying, that 33 women in the World Cup tore their ACL. Part of it is loading. Part of it is a little bit maybe overtrained before they go into the World Cup. But a lot of it has to do with this imbalance between the muscles and now having to address it.

Yeah, for the most part. Because, I mean, a lot of the stuff when I was going through school, even now, textbooks. So I was standing in the metro in D.C. a few months ago and there was a young girl who has just gotten into exercise physiology and I overheard a conversation saying,

And she was talking about some of the experiments that they were doing, but it never, she never talked about like, we have to make, you know, we're doing women specific, we're doing men specific. And I asked her, I was like, has anyone ever, talk to you about how women's bodies are different than men's from angles and muscle morphology. And she's like, no, what are you talking about?

I was like, this is a second year in ex-vis now. And if you look at the textbooks, it's still a representation of men in the textbook with regards to images. You have him or they, you never have her. They might have a very small section in there about the female athlete, but usually it's about the female athlete. And anemia or relative energy deficiency in sport.

It's never about how we can empower women to use their bodies and their physiology to their advantage. And it's what, almost 2025 now.

I don't think so. I mean, I always explain it from historical perspective. We're looking at the history and when we started seeing the modernization of medicine. Prior to the modernization of medicine, it used to be women who were the caretakers. If you're thinking about you get sick, you go and someone has an herbal remedy for you.

But when we started medicalizing and becoming more nuanced in the medical education, we Women were excluded. So when we start looking at the origins of medicine and who was in the room, it was men. When we start looking at the origins of science and science development, it was men. So all the scientific experiments and everything have always been a default to men. We look at AI now.
