Dr Mohammad
Hashim, the official physiotherapist with the Pakistan Rugby Union, recently
attended a ‘Strength and Conditioning’ course in Dubai.
Conducted by the IRB (International Rugby
Board), the course was attended by physiotherapists/coaches from about 10
countries and covered the following topics:
-Screening for
fitness
-Long term
player development speed training and drills
-Periodization
-Functional
Screening
Dr Hashim
tells, “All this will help to evaluate and improve players’ fitness, work on
their weak areas and help them peak at the right time”.
He also wants to pass
on the knowledge gained at the Dubai workshop to local coaches. Dr Hashim plans
to hold a workshop in the middle of February for interested coaches and
physiotherapists.
After getting the
certificate for this Level 1 course, for which he has to complete an online
questionnaire before February 2, Dr Hashim intends to do the Level 2 course as
well.
