Understanding Bone Healing | Lateral Think Podcast Ep. 124 with Associate Professor Brent Edwards

Summary In this episode of the Melbourne Athletic Development Podcast, Associate Professor Brent Edwards discusses his extensive research on bone health, particularly focusing on stress fractures and the underlying mechanisms that contribute to these injuries. He emphasizes the importance of integrating both applied and basic research to fill gaps in understanding human biomechanics and injury prevention. The conversation explores individual variations in biomechanics, the complexity of loading and tissue quality, and the impact of training loads on injury risk. Additionally, Brent addresses gender differences in bone health and the implications of childhood obesity on bone strength. This conversation delves into the intricate relationship between physical activity, bone health, and injury prevention. It highlights the detrimental effects of obesity on bone quality, the significance of engaging in multi-directional sports for optimal bone development, and the mechanics of how bones adapt to various loading conditions. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of dynamic loading for bone health, the potential of wearable technology in monitoring injury risk, and insights into how footwear choices can influence stress fracture risks.
