Welcome to Season 3, in which I'll be travelling around Europe to interview a variety of guests in person throughout 2023!
Today i spoke with Dr Nicol Van Dyk in Dublin, Ireland, on two fascinating topics - this is Part A! Nicol was so friendly and generous with his time, it was an absolute pleasure to meet him.
Nicol van Dyk is a physiotherapist and clinical researcher currently occupying the role of Injury Surveillance and Medical Research Officer with the Irish Rugby Football Union in Dublin, Ireland. In 2018 Nicol completed his PhD in Health Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium titled “Risk factors for hamstring injuries in professional football players.” During this time Nicol was a physiotherapist at the Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital.
We talk about the key pillars for hamstring prevention, strength work beyond just nordics, tips for implementing preventative practices with your own athletes and much more
