Speaker 1 (00:03):
Time for our Wednesday This Day with Doctor Jason Garrett
from a rosty good afternoon, Ready to ready to get
back to the grind of cross fit or vacation mode.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh, I'm full on vacation mode. I'm heading out to Zurich,
Switzerland tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
So what's in Zurich, Switzerland. What are you doing there?
Besides chocolate?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, Mountains Lakes, Chocolates, the land of something in honey.
I don't know. It's gonna be pretty.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Awesome, awesome. All right, let's talk injuries, and we've got
Halliburton last week in the playoff in the finals got
hurt another achilles injury. That's three in the playoffs and
I think nine total in the NBA this year. I
heard somebody say the other day that it was a player.
It is no longer fashionable for players in the NBA
(00:49):
to wear high top sneakers, and that's part of the
reason why we're seeing more achilles injuries. I agree with that.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, I don't disagree with it. I think it's not
only the fact that you're not wearing high tops anymore,
but if you look back historically, especially in the nineties
and early two thousands, the shoes were just a lot different,
and so the guys were not quite as strong, not
quite as fast, not quite as big. And now the
shoes are more responsive, They've got more i guess, recoil,
more explosiveness, and so they're they're allowing your achilles tending
(01:18):
to work even harder to jump higher because it's not
there's no dampening effect of like a shock absorbent material
like in the old days of the Converse or even
the early Nikes and Nike Airs, they didn't allow the
achilles to get stretched quite as quickly, and that may
be having some impact. The fact that the guys are bigger, stronger,
they're training more to jump higher and run faster. I mean,
it could be a number of those things. The kids say,
(01:39):
you know, I've seen load management could be an issue,
but I mean, guys used to play a lot harder,
with worse nutrition, with more injuries. I don't think it's
a load management issue. I think it's probably more them
getting faster and stronger and the shoes being more responsive.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
All right, and it's happening. Obviously Dame is an older player,
but Jason Tatum three or four years, five years whatever
it is, in the league and Haliburton. How about teenagers
playing eight nine ten AAU games a week, then going
to college and playing thirty six games in a season,
and then going to the pros and trying to play
as many of eighty two as they can. Is that
(02:14):
a max number of games in that thirteen to sixteen
formative years messing things up.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
To I don't know. I don't think so. I think it's,
you know, you guys are they're so tall, they're so long,
and then they're more explosive than they've ever been usually.
You know, back in the day, do you didn't have
Kevin Durance that were basically seven feet tall that could
jump out of the building. You have seven footers that
could barely jump at all. The guys that you know,
the guys that could jump to kind of stopped around
six foot six, And now you add another three four
(02:40):
inches on that and the guys are leaping a lot.
The vertical load and the achilles achilles didn't get muchigger
and stronger, so it has to keep up with more
vertical load next to thirty forty pounds of explosiveness. I
think it's more of that than it is, you know,
playing too many games and you're young.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Jalen Williams from The Thunder has a risk injury needed
surgery on that ten week recovery. Any indication that he
won't be okay once training camp resumes here in about
ten or twelve weeks, No.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I think risk surgery. You don't hear a lot about
lingering problems from risk surgeries or wrist injuries, which is
really good. Usually they recover very quickly, pretty methodically, on schedule.
They're not a weight bearing joint, so there's not a
lot of rehabit you have to do. You just basically
use it normally and then ten weeks you're good to go.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
All right, let's go with Jalen. Actually, Jaren Jackson junior.
He signs a big time contract and then does some
kind of a charity event or something and ends up
with turf toe. What are we looking here? That's another
ten week injury.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, turf toe. That might be a career injury. That's
one of those ones that if it gets inflamed, then
it doesn't heal well. That can be a chronic issue
that becomes you know, it can really shut down an athlete,
like like Deon Vanders, he had severe co injuries turf
toe and he actually ended up eventually getting his toe
amputated after multiple surgeries, so it took him out of
(03:59):
the NFL. That's one that you got to be real
cautious with. Don't want to mess around with that injury.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Two weeks ago, Jordan Speaks tried to play through a
neck injury at the tournament in Detroit, actually was last week,
and he had to withdraw. He's not playing in a
tournament he normally plays in this week at John Deere
and hopefully he's getting himself in condition to be able
to play either next week at the Scottish or in
two weeks at the British next and backs and things
(04:28):
like that. We know how debilitating that can be when
you're trying to swing one hundred and twenty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I think you know. Neck injuries are for a golfer,
especially the way he said he did it, which he
thinks he just slept wrong. He doesn't think he injured it.
Those usually aren't going to be lingering issues like the
low back. When you're in your golfer you put so
much torque and pressure on your low back with the swing.
You don't have quite as much in the neck. But
when the neck is bad, you just can't swing at all.
So usually within a couple of weeks, usually actually three
(04:53):
or four days. That's pretty normal and you can move
through it. But when your your career depends on your
neck moving well, it's probably good to take a couple
weeks off.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Why do you think some golfers have chronic back issues?
Like Fred Couple's was always bad and you never knew
from one week to the next if he was going
to be able to finish around and then Tiger I
think was self inflicted with the overtraining. But then you
got guys like Scottie Scheffler and maybe even a guy
like Gary Player for example, that seem ling you never
got hurt from that issue.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, some of us just luck. Some of it's genetics
and how your body moves that you look a Scotti Scheffler.
He does put a lot of power and torque into it,
but his feet spinds so much that his spine isn't
getting stuck. So if you think about, I know you're
a golfer when you really unload on one and if
the feet are planted and they don't slide a whole lot,
that means your spine has to absorb all that impact
post ball. So post swing, if your feet slide a
(05:44):
little bit, now your spine continues to rotate. It's not
running into a muscular wall, so you're having less stress
on your back. So the swing is very very or
the back injuries are very dependent on the type of
swing you have.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right, let's get into some preventative stuff. And I
know a lot of people this time of the year
or out dud for having a good time this weekend
at the lake or the beach, or golfing or just
out in the hot sun. What's the ratio people should
be having when it comes to water and things that
have electrolytes in them without getting too much sugar.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, I don't think you have to worry too much
about the electrolytes if you're the normal Americans, because you're
probably eating some chips, you're probably eating some hot dogs
and hamburgers. You're not going to be lacking salt. It's
really if you're drinking too much beer, too much alcohol,
make sure you drink more water. I don't think you
can overhydrate this weekend. If you're eating regular food. Regular
for the July food now, But generally speaking, I would
(06:37):
say probably an electrolyte scoop just the recommended amount in
the morning and in the evening before you bet go
to bed is going to help with some of.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That hangover all right, those who are trying to start
a workout regime in the summer, and some are being
encouraged to lift weights. I know you always talk about
lifting as heavy as you can, but is there how
do you know what your limit should when it comes
to starting a weight training program and not just get
the five pounder of the eight pounder and not necessarily
(07:06):
do that much good.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, if you're just starting and you haven't especially done
a proper squad or a deadlift or a power clean
or a bench press, you want to lift very little
weight and see how you feel a couple days later.
Lifting weights is not a sprint, it's a marathon. It's
a lifetime thing. So it's not like you can't get
in shape and get bulky right now before the summertime.
You need to think about this about one year out.
(07:29):
So see how your body responds to three sets of
ten at a pretty low weight, even if it feels easy.
See how you feel the next two days. If you
don't have too much delayed onset muscle soreness, then the
next week, on that same same cadence, lift a little
bit more ten percent more. It's again no problem with
that ten percent more. The next week, get to the
point where it's challenging to lift ten times but not
(07:51):
wrecking your body over the next two days.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, a couple last things here. You always talk about stretching.
When do we what do we do before stretch? Because
I know you've talked about in the past, don't stretch
your cold body.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, you gotta warm up. So depending on the equipment,
you have some great things. If you're in a gym,
then they have a rowing machine that's kind of a
full body warm up. You're gonna warm up your legs,
your arms, your back, your abs, everything's gonna get some
some bloodson in there. If you don't have that, then
you know, go walk. You'll walk on the tremble and
walk outside. Just get enough of a sweat on that
your muscles are warmed up enough that you can stretch them.
(08:27):
Muscles are like an elastic rubber band. If it's cold
and you pull it, it's gonna snap. You're gonna tear
little fibers. If you warm it up a little bit,
put it in the microwave, put it in a hot
glass of water. Now it's really flexible. So stretching is
is really beneficial, but it's kind of worthless if you
don't do a really good warm up first.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
All right, enjoy Switzerland and we'll see in a couple
of weeks when you get back.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
All right, thanks Eddie.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
All right, that's Doc Garrett from a Rosti. You weren't
in here a little while ago. He's going to Switzerland
next week with Witzerland. Yeah, land of chocolate and cheese. Hey, Doc,
that's all he left.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Can I know we left, but he's probably still listening
on the on the free iHeartRadio app set you set
ticket seventy six years a preset, Doc, I'll take some
some Swiss chocolate, you know, just saying that that can
be doctor approved, just saying what Swisch chocolate? Yeah, Swiss chocolate?
All right, good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
All right, let's talk the w n B. A. Caitlin
Clark's got a message for the commissioner and she should
be listing. Sophia Cunningham gets a clap back from Detroit
and Cleveland and Angel Race is not in the All
Star Game. It's the Andy Everage Show on the ticket
