“Rodeo is so far behind when it comes to strength and conditioning and taking care of yourself and treating yourself like an athlete,' Brandon Thome, exec. director of the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sport Medicine Team.
Getting out of a vehicle following an eight-hour drive from the last rodeo and immediately boarding a bull or bronc while nursing an injury was standard.
“They kind of half-think ‘we do enough hard work around the ranch. We don’t have to do anything else.’ Thome’s team works with Edmonton’s Acumen Performance to test athletes at camps and tailor programs for them based on test scores and the demands of their events. Building and maintaining core and groin strength, as well as hip stability are crucial in the roughstock events of bull riding, saddle bronc and bareback, Kicia said.Resistance band training helps counteract the shoulder overuse injuries common in roping events. Robbins sees more competitors adopting training and warm-up routines.
“They’re so well looked after, it’s leading us athletes to look after ourselves just as much. Otherwise, there would be no qualified rides.” “A lot of people will invest a lot money into their truck without thinking about it, yet they won’t invest in their body,” he said.Robbins will make his second career appearance in Calgary Stampede bull riding.
