Summary, Etc. In Ballistic, Henry Abbott explores a groundbreaking shift in sports medicine focused on injury prevention through the science of movement. Highlighting the work of Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), Abbott reveals how data, biomechanics, and machine learning are being used to predict and prevent injuries before they happen. The book emphasizes the importance of often-overlooked muscle groups and movement types, arguing that mastering ballistic movements--like jumping and landing--is key to athletic longevity and overall physical health. Through compelling athlete stories, Abbott makes a powerful case for proactive, science-based training.
