Where will ICST go next? Always a great conference where students and seniors mix for future advancement in strength training research & practice #strength #training #research #conditioning #athlete #performance #health

So pleased to show that strength trained differ from non-trained in sub-cortical excitability. This work will lead to plenty future studies in this area of investigation. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s… #jyunique @JYUBiolPA

The Abstract deadline to the International Conference on Strength Training 2025 in Freiburg, Germany is this Monday! icst2025.com/abstract-submi… I've submitted mine, hopefully will manage a second, and I'll see you there (p.s. Oktoberfest starts already on September 20th)!

Back in the lab as an assistant. The things supervisors do for our doctoral researchers. Much better than being on the office, mind. #PhDlife #research #science #brain @JYUsport_health @uni

@Biblicist4Life @BradSchoenfeld I doubt it. Our evidence suggests that older adults can even sit down for 2 weeks and not have anything major happen link.springer.com/article/10.100… It's important to distinguish between periods of illness and healthy deloading, however.

Does this depend largely on one's age? I've heard Dr. Peter Attia articulate almost the opposite idea in the context of people training past 65. That strength declines rapidly in short periods of inactivity rather than a steady decline over years. Thus one of the most important things to maintaining strength later in life is to not take time off (though he may have been speaking of more medium term than short term breaks).

Be consistent but dont stress if you have to take time off from training. "Our results therefore suggest that trainees should not be too concerned about occasional short-term training breaks in their daily lives when it comes to lifelong strength training" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Many thanks to @PedroE_Alcaraz and his team for organising a very nice @S_C_Society congress. Great venue and nice relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful to meet up with old acquaintances and to make new ones that will promote future work! Muchos gracias!
