The definition and principles of Evidence-Based Medicine/Practice and its application in sports rehabilitation

How to critically evaluate and integrate scientific evidence with clinical expertise and athlete values

The 5-step framework for implementing evidence-based practice in exercise science

How plantar pressure mapping provides unique insights into lower extremity function and supports best practice

The difference between injury risk, injury prediction, and injury mechanisms

Why injuries are multifactorial and non-linear, requiring complex systems approaches rather than reductionist models

The role of internal vs external risk factors in injury occurrence

Classifications of injury mechanisms (sport situation, athlete behavior, whole-body biomechanics, joint/tissue biomechanics)

The fundamentals of human gait: stance vs swing phases, gait cycle, transitions between walking, jogging, running, sprinting

How gait analysis can identify compensations, asymmetries, and injury risks in athletes

How plantar pressure mapping insoles enable field-based, natural motion assessments beyond the lab

Why gait profiling should be a baseline test in athlete rehabilitation and performance monitoring
