Data Nerds is a new series that we are introducing which will be alternating weeks with our usual journal club podcast. In this series, we share cases from our clinical practice where we utilize objective testing to inform our decision making, with most attention paid to the results of the tests and interpretation of the information. Therefore, this works best when you can see the numbers. Luckily, these are uploaded to our YouTube channel! Check us out at https://www.youtube.com/@ReadingRehab.

Our article from last week is spilling into Data Nerds this week! We thought the figures from this case report were fantastic for showing the different phases of a countermovement jump, variables of interest, when they were testing, what they found, and why that was important. Check out the video on YouTube to see what we're talking about!

This week is the first episode in a shorts series on a very thorough case report of a professional female soccer player returning to play for the World Cup following ACL tear.
