“You have a good chance of winning, just relax.”

Although Jiang Ming focused most of his energy on basketball, Liu Xiang’s 110-meter hurdles attracted national attention, so he naturally learned a lot about it.

Tomorrow the Chinese employees in the clinic will talk about Liu Xiang, Lin Dan and other topics many times after dinner.

In Jiang Ming’s opinion, although Luobosi, the favorite to win the 110-meter hurdles, broke the record, he was in great glory.

But he was very nervous when facing Liu Xiang. On the contrary, Liu Xiang became more relaxed in bigger competitions and had a clear psychological advantage.

Moreover, Liu Xiang had already mastered the 7 steps last year, so the technical gap no longer existed.

The probability of winning this Olympics is at least 6%. If there were no injuries, Jiang Ming even thinks it would be 8%. This guy has such a good mentality.

Moreover, Chinese athletes all focus on effective training, including Liu Xiang’s teammate Shi Dongpeng. Every step they take on the field is the result of long-term training.

Not only the sports content, but also the psychological training is strictly trained and will not be disturbed by external factors at all.

The only worry may be the recurrence of injuries during the Olympics.

Compared with the physique of Roberts, Merritt and others, Liu Xiang’s physique is indeed a bit fragile.

This is also the reason why the General Administration of Sports quickly arranged Jiang Ming to be Liu Xiang’s roommate.

I just want to take home this much-anticipated gold medal honor!

No event for the Chinese Olympic team this year is more important than winning this gold medal. It is no exaggeration to say that it has attracted the attention of the entire country.

Defeat the powerful enemies in Europe and the United States, starting from the track and field!
The people in the General Administration also understand that if Jiang Ming continues to be the team doctor for the men’s basketball team in this year’s Olympics, the team can only reach the semi-finals at best, and this is unlikely. We should be thankful that the men’s basketball team can reach the quarter-finals given its level this year.

Moreover, even if they made it to the quarterfinals, it wouldn’t be much of a credit or effort. The semifinals four years ago were a great example, so giving Jiang Ming the ball to the men’s basketball team might even be a bit of a “waste.”

Jiang Ming himself was not very willing to do so. He already had regular physical therapy with the main men’s basketball team members, so there was no need for him to follow them.

Yi Jianlian, Chen Jianghua, Xu Yong and others have become doctors after suffering from illness for a long time. They can apply plasters and do moxibustion on their knees.

Therefore, the men’s basketball medical team can simply have a few sports medicine doctors from tomorrow’s clinic follow along, and there is no need for him to go in person.

To put it bluntly, it is no longer a key project.

The men’s football team didn’t make it, and neither did the men’s volleyball team.
The women’s football team has little attention, and the women’s volleyball team won the championship four years ago. Their strength has not diminished this year, so there is no need for it.

But it’s different following Liu Xiang. If Jiang Ming can lead Liu Xiang back to the top, it will be a win-win situation for all three parties!

If we can really create another miracle, it will most likely promote the development of Chinese track and field as a whole and even Asian track and field. Whether it can be developed into a mass sport to promote track and field for all the people depends on Liu Xiang and these Chinese athletes on the track and field arena!

Many Asian track and field athletes are also fans of Liu Xiang and are following him.

But everyone knows that it is difficult. The 110-meter hurdles are no longer Liu Xiang’s era, so the General Administration of Sports has put so much thought into it.

Jiang Ming would naturally take it very seriously.

He wanted to feel the passion of 04 live again! It would definitely be much more exciting than watching it on TV.

He also wants to take back the regret of 08!
In 11, Robert’s malicious foul caused Liu Xiang to lose the championship. This time, he must take back what he lost!

So on the night of checking into the Olympic Village, APINK arranged for the six people to stay in the main bathroom suite outside. Before leaving, he shot a shot with Park Cho-rong in the bathroom, directly turning into a Knight of Cho-rong:
“I’m going to the Olympic Village first, wait for my news~”

Park Cho-rong stood up with the iron rod in a soft and boneless manner:

“Okay, Oppa, go ahead and do your thing. We’ve already bought the tickets.”

“Great! I don’t even have a ticket.”

Jiang Ming really likes these people from APINK. They have all become experts in grabbing tickets.

You should know that Jiang Ming can only enter the basketball court and the track and field stadium with his identity as a Chinese medical worker.

However, if you want to watch tennis players like Nadal and Federer, badminton player Lin Dan, swimming player Sun Yang, gymnastics player Chen Yibing, table tennis player, diving player, etc., you still need to buy your own tickets.

Because of the popularity of the Chinese team, which topped the gold medal list in 08, tickets for the Chinese team’s games this time are extremely hard to get.

But luckily we brought Park Cho-rong. The captain of this girl idol group is really omnipotent. Even if she doesn’t want to be in a girl group anymore when she gets older, she can always work as an administrative manager in Tomorrow Clinic!
After the “difficult to evaluate” opening ceremony of the London Olympics, Jiang Ming and Sun Haiping officially started pre-match training for Liu Xiang.

After Jiang Ming performed Achilles tendon surgery on Liu Xiang in 08, he actually stopped paying attention to his physical condition.

After watching him train in person this time, Jiang Ming noticed that his rehabilitation training was very successful and his Achilles tendon recovered perfectly after the surgery.

However, Liu Xiang’s waist seemed to have some problems during training and it was a bit stiff.

Therefore, in order to avoid the risk of injury, Jiang Ming mainly relaxed Liu Xiang’s waist a few days before the preliminaries.

This also allowed Liu Xiang to advance to the next round after successfully ranking second in the group with a score of 13.31 in the preliminaries.

Although this result was not very good, Liu Xiang had to “take it easy” in the preliminaries, so to be on the safe side he used eight steps for the first hurdle.

110 seconds in the men’s 13-meter hurdles is like 100 seconds in the 10-meter sprint. It is a hurdle, and there are only a few people in the world who can reach this level.

but!

In the preliminaries, Roberts and Merritt ranked first in the group with 12.99 seconds respectively, which shows that these two guys are in great shape. So after the preliminaries and seeing everyone’s results, Liu Xiang’s palms were sweaty, which was rare.

After the game, Sun Haiping told Jiang Ming that Liu Xiang could listen to Jiang Ming in everything from now on. It was estimated that no matter what he did, there was no way to improve Liu Xiang’s performance in the quarter-finals.

But in fact, Jiang Ming had no better solution. At least technically speaking, as a mature athlete, Liu Xiang’s techniques and tactics had reached the limit of what he could do. Even if Jiang Ming found a better way to exert force, it was too late to modify it now.

Liu Xiang’s team has done well enough. You should know that Liu Xiang has a 10-person personal team, including a biomechanics expert, a nutritionist, two fitness trainers, three TPs, a personal doctor (now with Jiang Ming, there are two people), three coaches, and a translator.
Therefore, the arrangements made by the country and Liu Xiang himself for him are already luxurious enough. With the full configuration, as long as he does not get injured, he can just run boldly.

Jiang Ming, as the key to preventing him from getting injured, asked Liu Xiang to take off his shoes right after Sun Haiping finished speaking:
“Right Achilles tendinitis, need acupuncture!”

Because Liu Xiang had problems with his waist recently, the force on his right foot was uneven, which inevitably led to Achilles tendonitis.

Only Jiang Ming could see this slight change:
“Prevention cannot just focus on the local area, but must consider the overall body balance.”

Jiang Ming asked Liu Xiang to step deeply on the wall several times:

“Does it hurt?”

Liu Xiang frowned:
“It hurts.”

“That means there is inflammation. Come here.”

“it is good!”

Liu Xiang quickly sat down on the ground and put his legs on the chair to give physical therapy to Jiang Ming. Now don’t talk about whether you believe it or not. It will be a blessing for Liu Xiang that the director of the clinic is willing to personally accompany Liu Xiang to give him physical therapy tomorrow.

Liu Xiang may be more famous, but Jiang Ming is much more famous.

To give a simple example, Liu Xiang is definitely not as good as Kobe, right?
Kobe Bryant couldn’t even ask Jiang Ming for physical therapy, so it was such an honor for Jiang Ming to take the initiative to provide auxiliary physical therapy for Liu Xiang!
So in the next quarter-final in the afternoon, Liu Xiang did sufficient waist warm-up and ankle flexibility training under the guidance of Jiang Ming.

“In order to prepare your ankle for these several full-speed runs, you must exert more force this time.”

Jiang Ming discussed with Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang.

Judging from Liu Xiang’s performance in the preliminaries, not only the spectators and netizens were worried, they were also worried. In this round, they had to secure a top two position as the time was speeding up.

“Gogogo, lift your calves.” When introducing the players before the game, Jiang Ming emphasized the importance of lifting his heels.

After seeing Jiang Ming’s shot, the audience exclaimed:
“Wow, is this the Chinese miracle doctor Jiang Ming?”

“Isn’t it rare to see him so serious?”

“I haven’t seen him take the Trail Blazers so seriously in this year’s finals.”

“Nonsense, these are our own athletes, they must have worked harder.”

“Handsome Jiang Ming!”

“I can meet Dr. Jiang Ming by chance in London!”

The final heel raise before the game is to allow the strength of the calf muscles to protect the Achilles tendon.

“start!”

As the starting gun sounded, Liu Xiang rushed out like a flash of lightning and reached the first hurdle in seven steps!
The effect of this technique was that Liu Xiang hovered between 1st and 2nd place throughout the whole race, but he still held back in the end. During the sprint stage, Liu Xiang did not put all his strength on his ankles. As a former champion, he certainly knew what kind of situation would allow him to advance to the semi-finals.

So he advanced to the semi-finals with a time of 13 seconds, half a body length behind the first place Jamaican teenager!

“handsome!”

After the race, Jiang Ming, Sun Haiping and Liu Xiang hugged each other excitedly. They only have to run twice more from now on!
According to Liu Xiang himself:
“After I finish the last two runs, I’ll be fine even if my leg breaks!”

He had been suppressed for too long. He finally managed to turn things around last year, but was pulled back by Roberts. The Daegu World Championships champion turned into runner-up.
So he was accumulating a lot of anger and excitement and was waiting to vent it out at the Olympics!
Jiang Ming also nodded. His words were rough but true. In fact, Liu Xiang was already legendary enough. Including his withdrawal from the last Olympics, he had participated in three Olympic Games. It was amazing for a track and field athlete to participate in three Olympic Games.

It is just as he said, as long as I finish the run with all my strength this time, it doesn’t matter how injured I am.

Because even if Liu Xiang had not retired in 16, he would definitely not have been able to run in the Olympics. The age factor is there in the sprint track. The main thing is that if he returns to the podium or even wins the gold medal this time, he will be “invincible”. Whether he participates in the Olympics four years later or not, he will already be an Asian legend.

But Jiang Ming still carefully made all preparations:
“Put on your outer pants and drink a bowl of Chinese medicine to quench your thirst later.”

“Forehead”

Liu Xiang frowned subconsciously, that Chinese medicine was too bitter.

The semi-finals and finals will be held one day later, so Jiang Ming’s suggestion is to do a step-by-step warm-up mechanism in these two days, don’t try to run at full speed, and save the best condition and sense of uncertainty for the semi-finals.

You must give your all in the semi-finals, because without it you won’t be able to enter the finals.

Not to mention the finals.

So Jiang Ming directly told Liu Xiang’s team a dynamic prevention system for basketball players.

One is to use the “fast running + flexibility” dual-track warm-up: first complete 85 minutes of variable speed running (such as 10 meters fast + 200 meters slow alternating) at 100% of the maximum heart rate to activate cardiopulmonary function;
Then, through 30 minutes of dynamic stretching, focus on the three-axis linkage of the hip, knee, and ankle, especially strengthen the ankle dorsiflexion range of motion to more than 60 degrees.

Introducing a vibration trainer: Use a 30Hz whole-body vibration platform to pre-activate the gastrocnemius muscle for 5 minutes before hurdle training to increase the elastic modulus of the Achilles tendon by 15%-20%.

Then, the muscle strength balance training adopts the “3:2 bilateral compensation” plan: a left-side strengthening plan is designed for the right dominant leg (take-off leg), and the strength difference of the bilateral calf triceps is controlled within 10% through actions such as single-leg heel raises and Bulgarian split squats.

Build core-kinetic chain synergy: Perform suspension training (TRX) 3 times a week, focusing on strengthening the psoas major and gluteus medius, reducing the compensatory load on the lumbar spine, and improving the trunk lateral tilt angle from 5.8 degrees before injury to less than 3 degrees.

These are the core training methods in the field of sports medicine of their clinic tomorrow and the Trail Blazers team medical team.

However, this is all short-term, and Jiang Ming had already informed Liu Xiang’s medical team of the cycle several months in advance.

那就是建立“应激-适应“模型：将全年训练划分为8-10个微周期，每个周期包含2次冲击负荷（110%常规强度）和3次代偿负荷（80%强度），通过血睾酮/皮质醇比值监控恢复状态。

Implement a “sandwich” recovery strategy: immediately take a 15-minute cold water bath (10°C) after high-intensity training, and then do 2 minutes of pulse air pressure therapy after a 30-hour interval to promote Achilles tendon microcirculation.

These can prevent injuries. After Jiang Ming used them on all the Trail Blazers players, they were very effective and were sorted out by Robert.

What fans can’t see are the efforts made by sports medicine doctors.

Of course, Jiang Ming also has the same technology as the European and American players.

Just kidding, after connecting to Microsoft and Apple systems, Jiang Ming’s team’s ability to monitor and adjust athletes’ load is world-class.

That is, the clinic’s high-tech team will arrive tomorrow after Liu Xiang finishes the competition today.

First, a plantar pressure sensor system was installed on Liu Xiang: it monitors the peak pressure when landing after hurdles and limits the impact force on the right Achilles tendon area to less than 12 times the body weight (normal value is 8-10 times). If the pressure exceeds the limit, the distance between the hurdles will be adjusted immediately.

Then use 3D motion capture technology: ensure that the flexion angle of the knee joint of the crossing leg is maintained in the golden range of 162°±3° to avoid increased shear force on the Achilles tendon due to hyperextension.

This is for Liu Xiang and Sun Haiping’s team to use for their own research.

Liu Xiang’s medical team then proposed the possibility of using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and exploring stem cell-scaffold composite technology.

This was rejected by Jiang Ming:

“The competition is almost here. What if Liu Xiang can’t adapt? And if he wins a medal like this, people will use it as a handle. It’s better to just use traditional maintenance.”

Jiang Ming knew about the regenerative medicine applications of these Western medicines. He performed ultrasound-guided injections on the terminal area of ​​the Achilles tendon to increase the orderliness of collagen fiber arrangement by 40% and reduce the risk of calcification.

It is good, but the effect is average when used on athletes.

“But there is a precise inflammation management method that can be used, and it can be used in the next two days.”

Establish a “red, yellow, and green” early warning system: use portable ultrasound to detect the thickness of the Achilles tendon. The green zone (<6.2mm) is for normal training, the yellow zone (6.2-6.8mm) is for a 30% reduction in intensity, and the red zone (>6.8mm) is for suspension of training and treatment.

This is very scientific, and will also let Liu Xiang’s team know clearly what level of training Liu Xiang has reached.

“Okay, let’s listen to Dean Jiang!”

Several white doctors and fitness trainers gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up. Even though this guy is of yellow race, his attainments in sports medicine are unparalleled in the world.

What is the ceiling of sports medicine?

This is!
And he has strong connections.

However, this was thanks to the connections of the Celestial Sports Bureau, and at Jiang Ming’s request, they were able to rent the climate chamber of the London City Hospital.

This allows for a 24-hour simulation before the race: the temperature and humidity of the race venue are reproduced in the climate chamber (such as the average 18°C/75%RH in London in summer), and three sets of full-course simulations are carried out on an artificial synthetic track to allow the body to build heat stress proteins in advance.

Establish a “circuit breaker mechanism”: when the time difference between two consecutive bar cycles exceeds 0.15 seconds (within the normal fluctuation of 0.08 seconds), the technology will be automatically triggered to pause and adjust the muscle effect patch.

“Wow, if I had known about this environmental adaptation system, I wouldn’t have had to come to Europe so early!”

Liu Xiang was stunned in the lounge. When the people from Jiang Ming’s team arrived, he felt that his chances of winning the semi-finals were much more secure!

Jiang Ming touched his nose and said:
“Well, I wanted to tell you at that time, but I found that there is no such climate chamber in China, and our clinic’s purchase plan tomorrow does not have such expensive equipment for the time being. Mainly, it is generally not used.”

Liu Xiang waved his hand and said:
“After I finish the final successfully, I will sponsor one for the clinic tomorrow!”

“It’s a deal.”

While several people were discussing strategies for the next two days, the big screen and radio broadcast the list of candidates who would advance to the semifinals in the second round of the preliminaries of the last event in the track and field, which was also the most exciting.

“Su Bingtian, from China, ranked third in the group and entered the semi-finals.”

Liu Xiang was shocked:
“Wow, Xiao Su has made it to the semifinals. Will he run under 10 seconds?” (End of this chapter)
