--------

Great way to start the week. Our research into characterising change of directions in football has been accepted in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research. ⚽️ Change of direction density: A novel consideration of consecutive changes of direction in elite youth soccer

Viva complete ✅ Pleased to share that I’ve successfully defended my Professional Doctorate thesis from Liverpool John Moores University It’s been a hugely rewarding eight years, filled with both challenges and learning.

A new @thePeerJ study tested Theia3D’s markerless motion capture system under real-world conditions. The results? ✅ Inter-trial variation: <2° ✅ Inter-session variation: <3° ✅ Clothing impact: Minimal (<3.5°) 🔗 Read more: theiamarkerless.com/blog/markerles…

@MUSportScience @MarquetteU Many congratulations Kristof!!!

I am happy, grateful, and humbled to share my promotion to full professor at @MarquetteU and appointment as director of our exercise science program. Thanks to all who helped along the way. Let's continue to light flamethrowers rather than curse the darkness and #BeTheDifference

New paper on power and force-velocity. Very long as it had to start off where I could understand it then progress, but still worth a read! 😀 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Im excited for my first #ISMRM2024 oral presentation "Neural Shape Models Meaningfully Localize Features Relevant to Osteoarthritis Disease" We're also sharing our medRxiv paper and announcing our ShapeMed-Knee Dataset that we hope others will leverage to advance the field 🧵

JOB OPPORTUNITY: we are advertising for a PDRA position @LivuniILCaMS and @livunieng , for a biomechanical project to test how ligament laxity affects articular forces and osteoarthritis development. Please share! @BSMB1 @BoneResearchSoc @OARSInews my.corehr.com/pls/coreportal…

Register for #isbs2024! . . . We are pleased to offer pre-workshops on #spm led by @mrobbo18 and Todd Pataky, #machine learning by @SinaDavid1907 and @MundtMarion, and #fda by Drew Harrison and Ed Gunning. . . DM me if you have any questions!

I just hit the 'Accept in Principle' button on our second Registered Report @JSportsSci. If you're interested in the Registered Report format then please see our editorial (tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…) and/or information for authors (files.taylorandfrancis.com/registered-rep…).

@999Zhenyuan @LJMUSportSci Looks much better with a proper desk - great job!

Just done some renovations for the lab today. Imagine 3 years ago, when I first came to this lab, I even had no idea what a force plate or a MoCap system was. Nowadays, I have learned so much and developed a variety of skills here (and still learning) @LJMUSportSci. 🤓

🚨 New preprint! We discuss recent experimental and computational methods to estimate the neural drive to muscles in humans. How to get representative samples of discharging motor units from HDEMG? How can I use data augmentation to reconstruct the full pool? Have a read! 👇

Today was a huge success sharing all things #biomechanics with 33 girls from @muchwooltony6 @muchwooltonsch for our @BiomechanicsDay @IntWomenBiomech Women in Biomechanics event. Huge congrats to @JoWootton4 & the team for delivering such an awesome day of activities!

@DanCatelli @ScienceJos Congratulations to you both (and Michiel!!)

The biggest #congratulations to Dr. Michiel Hagen for a successful PhD Viva!! 🎉 Witnessing your journey and growth as a scholar has been a privilege. Congrats and thank you @ScienceJos for the opportunity! #PhDone #ProudCosupervisor
