❓Where does Thomas Frank rank for value extraction? 📈 Brentford: 1.32 pts/game vs 0.79 expected on their wage bill (+0.53 ppg - best in PL). 🔝 Only Pochettino at Spurs matched Frank’s longevity among top 10 overperformers. 👉 Consistency + outperformance.

"By the time that you watch this I will no longer be here" We wanted to share Rob Burrow's poignant final message with you, recorded before his death for a special BBC documentary 'There's only one Rob Burrow'. The Rugby League legend will never, ever be forgotten ❤️

Absolutely devastated. A true champion on and off the field, and great bloke. Rob fought MND with such courage and his legacy will inspire us every day 💙💛

Well after 3 years, 700+ hours in the lab, 220 ovulation kits, 158 blood samples and the cooperation of 5 test centers across Norway... I'm very excited to share that the first publication of my PhD is now available in pre-print @MSSEonline journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/abst…

The first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. Mission complete🫡

New current opinion piece📝 rdcu.be/dAHBp🔓 With the growing use of iMGs across sports, this piece explores the technical constraints of the devices for measuring head acceleration events and considerations for the interpretation of iMG data... [1/13]

@eddie_mcateer @TightFive_Rugby Your first thought was correct

@TightFive_Rugby That’s fascinating. Kind of thought the complaints were just people being reluctant to try something new but this puts a very different perspective on it

This is really interesting from Fraser Brown. Speaking about the new ‘smart gumshields’, why he wouldn’t wear one and how minute changes in size and shape to mouthguards can help or hinder chances of concussion.

‼️Are the match demands of international netball and @NetballSL different? 💭 New league-wide study of 843 match observations 🏐📊 Comparison of movement characteristics of international and elite domestic netball match-play ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Open access 🔓: doi.org/10.1080/247486…

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults. The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

Clearly a mixed response to these recommendations. This was expected - in a world where new evidence emerges, surely change is needed? Also been interesting to see the general positive responses, by those who have been part of the broader discussions. Here's some rational (1);

#OnThisDay 1975: Pioneering sports scientist Dr Vaughan Thomas welcomed the cameras into his Sports Science honours degree - the first in the world - at Liverpool Polytechnic. In this clip, he puts a student through his standard, absolutely gruelling physical exercise regimen.

Progressive daily hopping exercise improves running economy in amateur runners: a randomized and controlled trial: 2023 🔍 Study Overview: 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️34 amateur runners (Age: 29 ± 7 years, comprising 27 males). 📆 Over 6 weeks, the exercise group did 5 minutes ⏰ of double-legged hopping daily. The hopping bouts lasted 10 seconds each ⏳, with the number of bouts gradually increasing and rest periods shortening.📈 📊 RE, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) 🌬️, and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) 🔄 were measured at three 🏃‍♂️ running speeds before and after the intervention. 🔍 Findings: 1️⃣ 6 weeks of daily hopping exercise can enhance running economy at higher speeds (12 and 14 km/h) without affecting maximal aerobic capacity. 2️⃣ The benefits are pronounced even when the hopping regimen is kept simple and done for only 5 minutes daily. 3️⃣ No reported injuries or side effects from this hopping exercise protocol.👍 🔍 This aligns with earlier research that plyometrics, like hopping, can boost running performance, especially at greater speeds. 🧐 One point of discussion is what's driving these changes. Tendon stiffness, metabolic factors, or alterations in running mechanics? #runners #runningcommunity #runchat

Worth of Retweet: Concurrent Strength+Endurance Training led to blunted lower-body S in males not in females. CSET led to impaired gains in VO2max in untrained not in trained athletes. Note inter-individual differences to optimize CSET @JYUBiolPA #JYUnique link.springer.com/article/10.100…

🆕GPS-derived Vmax should be used + interpreted w/caution by coaches & practitioners. Timely needed work that we hope ⬆️our understanding of training/competition demands + informs the strengths and limitations Vmax measures. 🔝work by a great team 🇬🇹🇵🇹🇧🇷🇪🇸🇦🇷🇬🇧🇮🇪 @NSCASCJonline
