About
EVIDENCE-BASED COACHINGWe use the best available evidence to support athletic development and performance. We provide content on the latest evidence about controversial topics as well as education to help guide you to critically appraise the literature to make informed decisions.
MICHAEL ROSENBLAT, PT, PhD, CEPMichael completed a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Exercise Science at The University of Toronto, a Master of Science (MSc) in Physiotherapy at McMaster University, and a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Kinesiology at The University of Guelph. He is also a Clinical Exercise Physiologist (CSEP-CEP) with a Specialization in High Performance.
Michael has developed periodized training and seasonal plans for recreational and competitive triathletes for race distances up to and including ironman. He has prepared athletes for national and international level competition. A significant portion of Michael’s physiotherapy practice involves the assessment and treatment of active individuals. His practice focus is working with endurance athletes (runners, swimmers, and cyclists), as well as youth and junior athletes. Michael uses exercise-based rehabilitation to address the risk factors associated with the development of injury. Michael’s primary research focus is on optimizing exercise prescription to maximize endurance sport performance. He also conducts research on the risk factors associated with the development of sport and orthopaedic conditions to create injury risk screening tools to guide clinical practice.
