Just like in sports: When all options have been explored, it’s time for a change. That’s exactly how I feel about X. Hoping that #BlueSky brings fresh momentum and a space for meaningful exchange, you can now find me there. 👉bsky.app/profile/billys…

I still advocate open-access publishing. But we urgently need better regulation. Right now, the major beneficiaries are large publishers. In Germany alone, we are spending millions of taxpayer euros merely to “flip a Word file into a PDF” - and that’s not sustainable.

🏔️ Information Overload: As the study below illustrates, the sheer volume of publications has grown so large that even specialists or expert practitioners struggle to keep up. My original goal - making knowledge more accessible -has, in some ways, backfired.

Carbon monoxide inhalation for endurance gains? Minor benefits, but huge risks—hypoxia, organ damage, even death—and unknown long-term effects. A global team urges a ban to safeguard athletes & fairness. @NADADeutschland @wada #antidoping @DOSB
Øyvind Skattebo@Skattebo_Oyvind

Repeated carbon monoxide inhalation triggers hypoxia-induced erythropoiesis, increasing hemoglobin mass—a practice likely abused by endurance athletes. We call on WADA to act urgently and ban this dangerous doping method. Our editorial by @BillySperlich: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

@BillySperlich @ChZinner Thanks. Agreed, we use TT for the same reason. I'd love to see a similar experiment with change in magnitude & variability of repeated TT performance over time. Are you aware of data like that anywhere?

Classic figure from Lundby, Montero, & @DrMJoyner for time course of physiological adaptations toward enhanced VO2max What is your favourite figure for time course of *endurance performance* improvements? I'll start 👇

@jem_arnold @ChZinner In our experience, time trial performance is the most sensitive indicator when tracking changes in performance/physiology over time. All other variables can be quite "shaky".

Honestly, this is getting crazy. #OpenAccess expands knowledge sharing, but the rising publication fees pose a significant barrier for many researchers, especially those without institutional funding. We must find a balance between access and affordability....

3/3 We suggest implementing additional running sessions and modifying small-sided games to better balance workloads and improve non-starters' physical preparedness. 🙏 @philipp__kunz @PeterDuking @Uni_WUE

2/3 Our data showed that non-starters consistently experienced lower workloads, particularly in high-intensity activities during matches and compensation training. #football

1/3 🆕 study in @PLOS We aimed to compare the weekly training and match loads between starting and non-starting professional #soccer players and to identify variations across training modalities. All ℹ️👇pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39197027/
