[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 652023, member: 2426"] Football players have non-contact injuries also. My first post in this thread was a response to someone asking if heavy workouts potentially being a cause of injuries was a serious question, which I assume was a suggestion that the question was unreasonable. I'm not a doctor, but I can think of two ways in which heavy exercise can potentially cause injury. First a person could be so tired from exercising that they can't control muscles and pull something. The staff is using the Catapult system and have said that they track effort to make sure that the players are working within their limits, so it appears that being too tired is probably not the case. The second is that a person's muscles, ligaments, and tendons can be too tight. Most trainers know this. Football isn't like body building where just having large muscles is the goal. Football players, even linemen, have to be able to move quickly. I am fairly confident that the strength and conditioning staff if trying to make sure that the guys are not just strong, but that they stretch and are loose enough to move quickly and to not injure themselves. Therefore training to be too tight is probably not the case. I think it is a legitimate question. I also think that the answer is that the work out regiment is not the cause of injuries. [/QUOTE]
