Given the injuries of last season, UF has been - knock on wood - healthy to-date. I remember reading an article after last season that UF researched that Stanford had a very low number of injuries last season - in particular, ACL's. The article said that Stanford's conditioning incorporated significant yoga for improved flexibility. Does anyone have anything on if yoga was part of S and G this year?
 
Don't think so, I do know they eliminated the noon or early afternoon practices so they didn't have the heat and dehydration problems. Also if you go back and look at the open practice notes players were constantly going to rehydrate. GIGATOR , is getting treated at Shands and in one of the topics said he aked his Dr and was told it seemed like a hydration problem. :dunno: seems also like they're spending a lot of time on stretching, but who knows what they do in the closed practices. I will say this having lived in both areas, that if it is a hydration problem, while Palo Alto gets in the 90-100 range often in the summer, the humidity is non existent compared to G-Ville. And with all our early games last year it could have been a factor.
 
Maybe they went to a low impact type training. Injuries playing football are going to occur...no sense having them occur during conditioning.

    Have you seen the video where they put a sound chip in a roomba? Evertime it hits something, a human voice reacts like when we stub a toe, hit our head on a cabinet, or hit our knee on the corner of a table. :lol:
