Rethinking vision training in sport using visual-perceptual principles to maximise performance
An innately familiar function of our eyes is that of our vision; the window into the world around us, constantly tracking, interpreting and shifting our attention to possibly important stimuli. Vision gives a sense of meaning to sounds, smells, textures, objects – our environment – that no other sense comes close to establishing. The functional eye anatomy that allows us to perceive the world around us. To achieve such a feat, the human visual system which consists of the ey

Key Summary Diet impacts our neuroimmune interface via changing key pro-inflammatory pathways which sensitises our pain apparatus These changes occur at the peripheral tissues (including primary nociceptor), the spinal cord and the brain Only 100g of processed food causes a 2.5% increase in high-sensitivity c-reactive protein! CRP along with many other pro-inflammatory molecules are associated with common painful conditions including osteoarthritis, low back and leg pain, sho

These have important implications. Loss of labral surface from a lesion during
