Dr. Enda King
About
Enda King PhD MSc ASCC combines his roles as a sports physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach, researcher, and educator through his work with individual athletes and elite teams across a spectrum of sports and disciplines. His PhD was in the use of 3D biomechanical analysis after ACL reconstruction and he incorporates biomechanical analysis and interpretation into his performance development and rehabilitation programs with elite athletes on a daily basis in his role as Head of Elite Performance and Development with Aspetar, Qatar.
He has authored over 40 scientific papers and book chapters on rehabilitation and athletic performance with a strong focus on the role of biomechanical analysis in rehabilitation and performance in particular in relation to ACL and Athletic Groin Pain. He has consulted for elite teams and organisations worldwide on rehabilitation strategies and incorporating biomechanical analysis into their care pathways.
