Hello all,
Yesterday I went to a sports clinic to have an Athletic Competency Measure which essentially means are my bones and muscles working correctly etc.
The report I got back (see below) kinda put me on a downer as they said there were quite a few things potentially wrong with my body.
I am about 2 months in to barefoot running and still get a slight ache in the calves and had been struggling a little with PF although it is on the mend now.
The clinic said that the 2 hernia operations (either side of groin) have probably contributed to my lack of flexibility.
I recently ran my first 10k forefoot running (with shoes) and finished in 41.32 and am aiming for sub-40 eventually.
Do you think I should be worried with what they found out about me or does the report seem extreme?
Many thanks,
Karl

Athletic Competency Measure Overview - Karl Bedingfield
Key History Points
· Left plantar fascitis
· Right Shoulder pain
· History Sports Hernia repair – Left side 20 years ago, Right side 8 years ago
Goals & Objectives
· 6 weeks – Improve Hip mobility and flexibility
· 12 weeks – Improve movement patterning/ Lower limb Stability
· Long term goal – Run 10 Km under 40 minutes
Main Considerations
· Trunk Stability - moderate weakness/ reduced coordination/
· Lumbar-pelvic awareness – forward tilted – difficulty maintaining neutral positioning
· Thoracic stiffness
· Scapular rhythm dysfunction
· Tight hip flexors - Psoas/ iliacus/ Rectus Femoris
· Short Adductors
· Reduced ankle/ knee stability
· Internal hip rotation restriction
Requisites
· Core Stability program – emphasis Lumbar-pelvic awareness
· Hip Flexor stretching - Static/ dynamic stretching
· Hip Mobility - Increase ROM in all planes
· Improve gluteal activation/ strengthening
· Thoracic mobility – improve extension
· Develop scapular stability/ awareness
· Develop lower limb stability
· Improve movement patterning i.e squat/ single leg squat.
