Plasma C-terminal agrin fragment concentrations across adulthood: Reference values and associations with skeletal muscle health EXCELLENT resource from @jedd_pratt & @Giusepp40676177 doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.1…

@jedd_pratt @JCSM_cachexia Another one Jedd! Well done again

Plasma C-terminal agrin fragment concentrations across adulthood: Reference values and associations with skeletal muscle health Great to see this one out in @JCSM_cachexia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

@ProfNeilReeves @ManMetUni All the best Neil!

Last day @ManMetUni today after 20 years! Post-doc to Faculty Director of Research - a great experience working at a great institution with so many talented people.

Always great to publish in @MSSEonline🙃 in this one we showed that PICs estimated by HD EMG were reduced by short term unloading but then restored following a retraining period! Congrats @Giovanni_MRTN & @giacomo_valli 👏🏻

New in @japplphysiol by @BrentRaiteri and @neuromecHAHNics -Eccentric exercise ≠ eccentric contraction- an important reminder, with an original study. 👏🏻 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

We are thrilled to announce that we have once again been ranked #1 in Ireland and have moved to #24 in the world in the @ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Sport Science Schools and Departments🏆 Read more at: ucd.ie/phpss/newsande… See the rankings at: shanghairanking.com/rankings/grsss…

New PhDs in town!🎓😎 Congratulations to Gloria Orlando, @FabioSarto3 and @giacomo_valli for concluding their journey in our PhD program. All the best for your future!

We attemped to explain change of muscle stlength after one year using motor unit activation and muscle mass at base line in older adults. Motor unit activation can explain the change of muscle stlength after one year (p=0.004), but mascle mass doesn't (p=0.364).

Great @JPI_HDHL PREVNUT session today #FENS2023 on prevention of undernutrition in older adults @HelenMRoche @CACorish @katy_horner @brianie68 @VolkertDorothee @Giusepp40676177 @Sian_Robinson3 @AvanSayer @ucd_sphpss @trust_indi

1. There is no consensus on what overtraining is - you can't define it, but you know it when you see it? 2. Overtraining and "under-recovering" are not the same thing, but they are often seen together. 3. It's all relative... anyone can 'overtrain' just as they can 'under-recover... 4. Not everyone is a pro-athlete, but then not every pro-athlete has the same life demands as a mere mortal (training is there job) 5. See #1

Signals that muscles receive are a "noisy" version of the signals that spinal motoneurons receive But ⚡️Common inputs don't project to all motoneurons of a certain pool They project to clusters that may span across muscles and/or a portion of a muscle doi.org/10.1113/JP2836…
