We are all set up at our Physically Active for the Future Exhibition in Golden Island Shopping Centre, Athlone. Celebrating 30 years of Science Week! #scienceweek @TUS_ie @TUS_Athlone_

New paper published online in @Human_Kinetics "Assessing Maximum Sprinting Speed in Female Team Sport: The Role of Sprint Distance and Timing-Gate Configuration" 🏃‍♀️ Data and analysis code (R) openly available doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.… @DSH_TUS @dcu_shhp Thread (1/7) 👇

I'm pleased to announce the publication of two important papers in Sports Medicine on the first every large replication project in sport and exercise science. Read the full papers: link.springer.com/article/10.100… link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Ardscoil Old Boys are now recruiting players of all ages and grades for the 2024/25 Munster Junior League season 🇧🇪 Please drop us a message or email info@asob.ie if you are interested in joining us on our journey 🏉 #JuniorRugby #Recruitment

🚨New PhD opportunity @TUS_ie @SHEResearch_TUS @aoifemlane Full details ➡️tus.ie/rdi/research/o… Come join the team at the SHE Research Center! Closing date July 1st.

@EamonnFlanagan @Coach_GR where I just want to limit variability and not a practitioner who works with it on a daily basis and needs to make programming decisions etc.

@EamonnFlanagan @Coach_GR comes from JH rather than the combination of CT and JH. It has to be context specific though because big differences in mass and drop height will drastically change the kinetic energy the athlete has to deal with on landing. I’m very much coming from this from a research POV only

@EamonnFlanagan @Coach_GR Thanks Eamonn, I think you are referring to this paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29182434/ where I explore how performance strategy affects RSI in a drop jump using both calculation methods. For what it's worth, I only ever use the JH/CT method for all the same reasons you've given

@Coach_GR This paper from @RobinHealy would give some insight into magnitude of differences between FT:CT and JH/CT methods

Very cool PhD position in @TUS_ie @STORKinesiology @RobinHealy

Our new 'Female Athlete' microcredential via @SHEResearch_TUS is now open for applications! Developed by @Niamhnic4 and integrated into our @TUS_ie undergraduate Sports Science programme, it is great to be able to offer this module to coaches, parents, players and more!

Congratulations @CormacWard3! Well deserved!

New paper by Cristian Mesquida @JennyMurphy2 @JoeWarne1 and me in the Journal of Sport Sciences: “Publication bias, statistical power and reporting practices in the Journal of Sports Sciences: potential barriers to replicability” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Some results:

New publication🚨: Review of Ankle and Plantar Flexor Muscle–Tendon Unit Function in Sprinters ⚫️Importance of ankle joint and plantar flexors across sprint phases assessed. ⚫️Musculotendinous properties that contribute to improved plantar flexor performance reviewed.
