@NeilpDo @foundmyfitness I think these statements are delusional from a professional point of view.

@NcFurlan @foundmyfitness Yep loss of menses , ratios off, testosterone crash, inflammatory markers high,

The current physical activity guidelines are too low. I've been saying this for a while. And a new study confirms it. Meeting the standard 150 minutes/week was associated with only a modest ~8–9% lower cardiovascular risk. The biggest protection occurred at roughly 560–610 minutes/week, about 3–4× higher, where cardiovascular risk was 30% lower. We need to distinguish between the minimal activity volume required for basic protection, and the substantially higher volumes required for optimal resilience.

@NeilpDo @foundmyfitness Overtraining?! With 10h a week? Please

@foundmyfitness This is a little riduclous working out 10 hours per week can affect cortisol, hormones specifically female hormones, lead to overtraining syndrome, lead increased inflammatory markers and more abnormalities .There are other ways to improve cardiovascular risk

@mackinprof @GregLehman Hi Stuart, participants showed 30 to 40% improvements in their 1RM Leg Press over the 12/52. How was 'resistance trained' defined in this paper? It seems like a pretty big change for someone who's trained.

@GregLehman It's 'superior' only because of the practice effect. When you give people a chance to practice... everything looks similar. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Systematic reviews on the topic show good consistency of effect and not exercise specific pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28834797/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35015560/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33433148/

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

@AidanRich @PhysioMeScience Do I read wrong or there was less than 10% improvement in strength after 12 weeks, with changes not differing from ESW?

Happy to announce @SciMed_Football’s new 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 category for small-sample studies, a pragmatic step to address the spread and misreporting of underpowered football research. Grateful to all co-authors for months shaping the submission requirements.

@dr_jump_uk I like this one!

Twitter help please! I'm having a think about refreshing the visual identity of the Force series. What do you think about this?

Exercise Intensity Terminology is a bit of a mess 😵‍💫 Our attempt to try & summarise some of the different approaches, and make some recommendations going forward, has finally been published in both MSSE: bit.ly/4nT7Pq5 & JSaMS: bit.ly/46U7ptq.

@heidithornton09 @shushan_tzlil @ric_lovell @DawnScott06 @JoClubbSportSci @FIFAcom @Bilby55Wilson Well done @heidithornton09 and team!

Many thanks to the incredible team @shushan_tzlil, @ric_lovell, @DawnScott06 and @JoClubbSportSci and of course @FIFAcom (@Bilby55Wilson) for this opportunity. Our paper is published within the #FIFA Female Health Project - link.springer.com/collections/ff…

🎉Extremely excited for this to be published 👉We have established benchmarks for physical performance qualities of women's football players, across all levels⚽. 👉We also created an app to investigate our findings and the normative data further - tinyurl.com/mvs4xxv6

Huge development in global strength and conditioning. An opportunity for the profession to be taken more seriously through improved governance and independent regulation. Hopefully more organisations can step up and take part.

An interesting review with a different outtake on eccentric exercise and fascicle length

With individual data, we were able to compare the INTENDED TID prescribed as intention-to-treat And the real COMPLETED TID for each athlete, based on weekly heart rate % distribution in a 3-zone model 20% of athletes completed a different TID model than they were prescribed😮7/

Excited that our review: "Exercise as Mitochondrial Medicine: How Does the Exercise Prescription Affect Mitochondrial Adaptations to Training?" will soon be published in ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYSIOLOGY with @MitoPsychoBio & @matt_lee1

Are you an athlete or professional involved in the return-to-sport decision process in Australia? We need your help! The @UTS_SoSER, with @theAIS, is conducting The RUDDER project on Return-to-Sport. Access more information & register your interest here uts.edu.au/about/faculty-…

@gtesst @doclsmack @bnoehren @kcrehabguy The discovery of occlusion training stems exactly from parallels w the sensations experienced during hypertr/bodybuilding training. The japanese have been researching this since early90s. If joint is load compromised (i.e. transient AKP), we use it irrespective of time post op.

@doclsmack @bnoehren @kcrehabguy Why in the world would you do BFR for 4-5 months post surgery? BFR is designed to limit atrophy in the acute and sub-acute stages. It is not designed to build muscle. It would be interesting to know which BFR cuffs were being used as well.

Breaking news indeed!! Double blind RCT on BFR after ACL reconstruction- BFR no more effective than r progressive rehab alone!!! @bnoehren killing some sacred cows! What do you think @kcrehabguy?

@dr_jump_uk Hi Dan, the link does not work for me. Just gets me to generic Amazon page.

Please share 🙏. Last of the offers. For 24 hours you can get a copy of Geni.us/force for $1/£1.

@JasonCDorman @StrengthDebates To what protocol these numbers refer to? Sergeant? Abalakov? CMJ hands free/hands on hips?

@StrengthDebates Also have normative values for weight (in 25 lb increments).

Criteria for being considered athletic Vert: 33 inches or higher Broad: 115 inches or better 5-10-5: 4.5 or better 40 yard dash: 4.7 or faster What would you add or change?? Or is it spot on?? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

@StrengthDebates Plenty of Olympians that can't do that.

Just done some data collection on @MDPIOpenAccess. At the moment, they have 41,030 special issues open. If they published one special issue a day it will take >112 years to publish all them all. What is your view of a publisher publishing so many special issues?

@jamesheathers Man of culture. Alcest would have topped my 🇫🇷 list
