“heavy weight training (e.g. a weight you can only lift four or five times before failure) initiates the most significant osteoblast response.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“cortical inhibition. This is your nervous system’s response to injury, where neurons that control muscular force production around the injured area are selectively inhibited. This is another reason why training through joint pain is a fool’s errand.”

“What We Can Learn about Movement from Trees”

“Despite popular opinion, tendon breakdown and joint dysfunction can only be fixed by increasing the load tolerance of connective tissues. And how is that accomplished? Rest? Stretching? Anti-inflammatories and injections? Nope. Only through load training. But it must be well planned and well executed.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Collagen degradation and joint pain can also be caused by a lack of synovial fluid.”

“A three-year study of English Premier League football players showed that spikes in the ACWR are associated with 5–7 times greater injury rates—either during the high-intensity periods or the days afterward, as fatigue sets in.”

“Upwards of 80% of muscular force produced transfers to surrounding connective tissue”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Stretching has its place. But mobility training, corrective exercise, and adding more varied movement are much more effective strategies.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Not only that, sensitization doesn’t stay isolated to one injured body part. It can affect the way you perceive pain in other areas. This means an injury that produces prolonged inflammation could lead to increased pain sensitivity throughout your body.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Mobility is defined as the “ability to move or be moved freely and easily.” In the world of sports and fitness, it means the ability to move your joints through full, effective ranges of motion. Mobility is closely related to flexibility, but there’s a key difference.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“The most common type of energy load training is plyometrics—exercises where muscles exert maximum force in short time periods to increase power.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Prevention:”

“Regular exercise is necessary to bring high inflammation levels down, even when you’re inflamed and don’t feel like moving. The trick is to find ways to exercise without aggravating the injury or causing an inflammatory response that sets you back. As much as you are able, move daily.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Proper hydration and electrolyte balance are still important principles for peak athletic performance, but they are yesterday’s discovery.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“A third type, centralized pain, occurs when your nervous system amplifies the volume of pain signals.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“The Role of Synovial Fluid (SF) in Joint Pain”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Tendinopathy treatment shouldn’t focus exclusively on controlling inflammation.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Nonexercise activity thermogenesis basically refers to all the usual activities and bodily functions that burn up calories. Chewing your food. Digesting your food. Walking. Breathing. Even thinking. All these activities require energy. More energy than you might think.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Second, any progress in your strong attributes is incremental only. On the flip side, improving your weak points raises the whole system. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Nowhere is this cliché more appropriate than in your kinetic chain.”

“It provides structural support for virtually all organs and soft tissue (including joints).108”

“It’s an important concept to understand because it directly impacts injury recovery time, tissue repair quality, future injury risk, and overall joint mobility.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Experts in the field of connective tissue injury believe that inflammation and tendon degeneration are different parts of the same injury process. This leads us to the second and maybe the most important concept to focus on instead of pain relief.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“An argument can be made that slow resistance training is counterproductive for athletes because it’s demanding on the nervous system, causes more DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), and could reduce strength if passive muscle stiffness is decreased too much.”
― Scott H Hogan, Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

“Fascia: Fascia is the thin sheath of connective tissue that surrounds muscles. It plays a pivotal role in force transfer between parts of the kinetic chain. Fascia is dense with nerve endings, making it almost as sensitive as skin. This is part of the reason why manual therapy methods like foam rolling and massage have so much support for pain and tension relief.”
