Good fitness is required for playing lacrosse. For example, lacrosse requires a lot of sprinting across the game field. Here are a few exercises to ensure sufficient fitness to play the game.

1. Long runs are for building endurance to sustain a 60 minute lacrosse game. A minimum of two long runs a week are recommended, along with incorporation of hill sprinting and interval running to complement this training regimen.

2. Planks will help develop core strength. Core strength is necessary for sufficient power to shoot the ball and for playing defense. You should work toward a minimum of 10 planks for at least two minutes per plank.

3. Squats also contribute to developing core and leg muscle strength. Adding squats to this plan will contribute to increased movement speed and muscle strength.

4. Push-ups will develop chest and arm muscle strength. This will help in defending a position on the field from opponents. Five sets of 20 push-ups are recommended.

MDX Uses Birth Tissue to Treatment

Kevin Lilly is the vice president of commercial operations at Carolina Precision Technologies. Before taking up this role, Kevin Lilly worked as a senior vice president of sales at the publicly traded company MiMedx Group (MDXG) from 2015 to 2019.

MiMedx is a biopharmaceutical company that was founded in 2008. The organization has its headquarters in Marietta, Georgia, and is seen as an industry leader in therapeutic biologics and advanced wound care. MDXG uses birth tissue, such as the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic sac, to create skin that can then be used to treat burn injury, diabetic foot ulcers, and other similar conditions. Birth tissue has flexible properties that allow it to conform and provide a protective cover around a wound region. This natural covering aids in tissue remodeling and restoration which then leads to faster recovery.

MiMedx acquires birth tissue donations from new mothers who delivered through Cesarean section. Using these donations, MDXG continues to advance medical research and find new ways to treat medical conditions.

MiMedx Group Expands Placental Biologics

Kevin Lilly is an established leader in the healthcare technology sphere who guided sales with the MiMedx Group for four years as senior vice president. The regenerative medicine enterprise Kevin Lilly helped expand maintains a leading industry presence with patent-protected processes that place placental tissue allografts in diverse healthcare sectors.

In March 2021, MiMedx announced that it had entered into a significant group purchasing agreement with Premier Inc. spanning its amniotic tissue portfolio. Administered through the SURPASS (Synergizing for Unparalleled Results in Procurement and Strategic Sourcing) program, the agreement will provide an array of regenerative skin-grafting products to SURPASS members at special terms and pricing.

As the CEO of MiMedx described it, this places MiMedx at the forefront when it comes to providing advanced wound care patients with access to PURION processed tissue technologies. At the same time, the agreement will make placental biologics more affordable to a wider range of patients living with hard-to-heal and chronic wounds.
