After Aaron Rodgers' injury, should the NFL get rid of artificial turf?
This piece originally appeared in the Conversation. In the first quarter of his first game as a New York Jet, quarterback Aaron Rodgers dropped back to pass. Buffalo Bills defensive end Leonard Floyd blew past the offensive line and wrapped up Rodgers, dragging him awkwardly to the ground. Rodgers got up, before falling back to the turf, grimacing in pain. Just like that, the Jets lost their biggest offseason acquisition to a season-ending Achilles tendon tear. Blame quickly circulated.

Keeping NBA players on the court is no small 'feet'
Maddie Malhotra/Getty Images The NBA playoffs provide a stage for some of the biggest and tallest athletes in the world. With an average height of 6 feet, 7 inches and an average weight of 225 pounds, players have a lot of skin, bone and muscle to support. That’s why their feet play such an outsize role – literally and figuratively.
Stiff muscles are a counterintuitive superpower of NBA athletes
By Philip Anloague, University of Dayton For most people, the term “stiffness” has negative connotations. When you wake up in the morning complaining of a “stiff back,” the remedy might include taking a hot shower, doing some yoga, swallowing aspirin, or visiting a physical therapist to loosen up. Stiffness is typically viewed as unpleasant and can limit one’s physical activities.

Muscle stiffness can be an athletic superpower
Surprisingly, though, for elite athletes like professional basketball players, muscle stiffness is not only something that is necessary, you could say it’s their superpower. As a physical therapist and researcher who works with National Basketball Association players, I’m interested in understanding the key factors that help to minimize injury risk and maximize performance in elite athletes—and understanding stiffness is an important part of that.
