Mental fatigue, induced by cognitive tasks prior to training, increased RPE during resistance training and reduced cycling time trail power outputs. Without altering HR or blood lactate. researchgate.net/publication/36…

Open kinetic chain (OKC) exercise (leg extension), caused a distal shift in rectus femoris center of mass and moment of inertia compared with closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercise (squat). file:///Users/scottpollock/Downloads/Differing_hypertrophy_patterns_from_open_and_close.pdf

Eccentric contractions preceded by concentric contractions did not induce any further fatigue when compared to eccentric only contractions ro.ecu.edu.au/ecuworks2022-2…

Just over 1 week left to apply fir the role of Athletic Performance Coach with the senior team @UlsterRugby RT’s appreciated sportswork.co/jobs/ulster-ru…

@RhysIngram @GBTaekwondo @HallGary 👏👏👏

All good things must come to an end & after almost 10yrs at @gbtaekwondo that time has come! It felt very strange to switch off the gym lights after my final session with the team, as I move on to an exciting opportunity with British Cycling.

Excellent piece of applied research from max and @mm_mckean on the effects of passive heating on upper body power output in elite swimmers journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Review of the physiological mechanisms mediating the effects of microcurrent when combined with different exercise modalities (e.g. endurance and strength) link.springer.com/article/10.100…

‘maintaining or varying exercises for the same muscle group promotes similar adaptations in the maximum dynamic strength. In contrast, for isometric strength in knee extension, maintaining fixed exercises seems to be more interesting.’ journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abst…

To what degree to strength changes in a given movement transfer to an alternative movement? link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Shout out to @the_ASCA & @julianjSAC for putting on a great conference. Feeling very privileged to have had the opportunity to connect with so many great coaches!

“performance fatigability describes a decrease in an objective performance measure, while perceived fatigability refers to the sensations that regulate the integrity of the performer” link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We are looking for senior strength and conditioning coach to join the team in Brisbane. A role which includes supporting some of the best swimmers on the planet! sportspeople.com.au/jobs/73545-sen…

Applications open for an embedded PhD in the S&C unit at the @QldAcademySport in conjunction with @LaTrobe_SES to be supervised by @DocLachJames @PaulGastin and myself. See the link below for more details and reach out if you have any questions. latrobe.edu.au/scholarships/l…

‘When matched for either load or work, similar increase in muscle size is found between ECC & CON RT. However, such hypertrophic changes appear to be achieved through distinct structural adaptations’. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Different training stimuli will likely have different adaptation kinetics. Those inducing "faster muscle strength gains may also induce imbalanced adaptation between the muscle and the surrounding biological structures" journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abst…

Some recent thought provoking papers on training load. -Subjective vs. Objective. -The training load concept. -Fitness-fatigue model. Understanding the numbers. researchgate.net/publication/35… researchgate.net/publication/35… journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Strength trained athletes were able to maintain lower body strength for longer (5 days) when compared with upper body strength (3 days) following a 4 week training block. journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abst….

Future directions for establishing and quantifying proximity to failure. researchgate.net/publication/35…

Active muscle appears to differentiate high and low hoping performance. In contrast with tendon work which was not significantly different between high and low groups in this recent study. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
