@Nittaz Long

What type of running session do you 'enjoy' the most?

@Bill_Vicenzino @scotmorrsn @Seth0Neill @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Confused at the isometric component in the paper by O'neill et al.

Isometrics for acute pain relief - confused about their role? Clarity from some hugely respected names #EBM owl.li/LHaY30oHDQN

@Seth0Neill @Bill_Vicenzino @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Seth, there is no need to avoid calcaneal compression in a midportion population. Force generation drops of in plantarflexion. A very different story if the population was insertional AT.

@Bill_Vicenzino @KevLieb @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Regarding the PG/mild plantarflexion position. This was/is recommended by proponents as important to avoid calcaneal compression for insertionals. We maintained this despite all subjects being mid portion. I think the key is about expectation - what is said to the patient

@scotmorrsn @Seth0Neill @Bill_Vicenzino @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ That is why I am confused @scotmorrsn. Did you look at isometric strength is standing @Seth0Neill with the knee extended?

@Seth0Neill @Bill_Vicenzino @KevLieb @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Seth I'm a bit confused here - those with the isokinetic are Nm in an extended position right? And the isometric is in kilograms force generated right? Do you have MA for the conversion? Also interesting to see significant difference in force here vs study on endurance 🤔

@Bill_Vicenzino @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Maybe the wrong choice of word in relation to the summary

@Bill_Vicenzino @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ O’neill et al, questions the use of isometrics, despite a protocol that arguably doesn’t generate adequate plantarflexor force. It doesn’t make sense that a plantarflexed ankle position is required to avoid compression in a midportion AT population. I am confused by the editorial

@Bill_Vicenzino @olivercgp @DanPilderwasser @ProfJillCook @BJSM_BMJ Isometrics have been a gem for me (and others). Aside from pain relief, they provide a platform to load irritable/painful tendons. They aren’t the only load to managing a painful tendon. Can someone explain why the need to dismiss their clinical use as it appears in the editorial

@IvanthePT @SportsChiroLuke @Seth0Neill @SMA_Events The muscle forces presented during running are from the research completed by Dorn et al., 2012.

@SportsChiroLuke @Seth0Neill @KevLieb @SMA_Events What does exposure mean in this case? What is it with walking for reference and how much is the gastroc exposure during running?

Soleus exposure during running is 6-8xBW. Soleus is the main contributor to vertical & horizontal propulsion across speed. @KevLieb @SMA_Events #VICSMA19

@IvanthePT @SportsChiroLuke @Seth0Neill @SMA_Events Gastroc is approx 2-3 × BW

@IvanthePT @SportsChiroLuke @Seth0Neill @SMA_Events Thanks for identifying poor grammer on the slide. Soleus is exposed to high loads at slow speeds.

Come join @RTRphysio and @MelbRunningCo for a weekend running workshop in August (12-13th August 2017)

Under 24 hours until The Ultimate Human Race. #Comrades2017

@TrishWisbeyRoth Looking forward to presenting after a run through the valley of 1000 hills in south africa #Comrades2017

@RunLikeCrazy comrades glory is but only a week away. #Comrades2017

@Seth0Neill I have seen images of the seated test with the fysiometer. How did you set up the standing test?

@Seth0Neill Interesting, I would have expected higher forces generated in standing.

@Seth0Neill is the 2 x bw for calf strength seated and/or standing? Is it a minimum or goal amount?
