📢 We are pleased to announce our Special Issue, “Genetics and Genomics of Physical Activity, Sport and Injury,” now open for submissions 🧬🔬🏉 Link found here: mdpi.com/journal/genes/…

🚨 Our latest paper online: Genetic variants🧬 associated with soft tissue injury history in elite male🏉 athletes jsams.org/article/S1440-… Open access @RugbyGeneStudy @M_R_Antrobus @RMErskine @Dr_Heff56 @stebbina @MarkBennett07 et al. @_JSAMS @UniofHertsIoS

🚨Epigenetics of Concussion: Systematic Review🚨 @M_R_Antrobus @detective_louis @drleemachado et al. Separate associations between sncRNAs, methylation, histone modification and concussion. For more details, open access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Absolute delight to work with colleagues at my #AlmaMater @UniNorthants @M_R_Antrobus @drleemachado @davebiophysics @BillRibbans as well as new collaborators @jonbrazier1 and Terun Desai on #Epigenetics of #Concussion #SystematicReview

Our attempt at making a relatively complex subject 🧬 a little more accessible for practitioners out soon in @NSCASCJonline @anthonyturneruk @M_R_Antrobus

Our latest #OpenAccess paper in @JSportsSci from the GENetics of Elite Status In Sport (GENESIS) project we started >10 years ago.. 👀 Great to collaborate with excellent colleagues @RugbyGeneStudy @stebbina @AdamJHerbert91 @Dr_Heff56 @elliottha11 @jonbrazier1 @M_R_Antrobus et al

The first publication from my PhD is now available online at rdcu.be/dcKdx More evidence demonstrating that if prescribed appropriately, eccentric exercise induces minimal muscle damage in older adults, particularly on factors associated with the risk of falling.

Are you 18-40yrs (male or female) & live near @UniNorthants? Can you help with research on muscle recovery & hot water immersion? I am looking for participants to take part in #PhD study. Can you help? If yes, please get in touch. RTs would be very much appreciated:)

Fantastic presentations by @Brett_A_Baxter & Tony Kay @UniNorthants staff @E_C_S_S in Seville. Fascinating studies with applied findings, not sure how I will follow that tomorrow! :) #Research #Conference #Sport #Science #UoN

Great to see the hard work our whole @UniNorthants @FASTresearchUON @UON_Science Sport & Exercise team have put in to improving our programmes is starting to show Up 33 places, top 25, 2nd for graduate propsects Great effort team!!👏🥳 thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/…

Happy to have the 4th + final PhD study published, investigating biological maturity + injury in academy football ⚽️ ⬆️ prevalence + incidence in oldest players, except for growth-related injuries, similar across 4 nations 🌎 @PTiSJournal @LJMUSportSci sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
