Training Impulse

New publication Sports Medicine! After 35 years, how well does Joyner’s endurance performance model still hold up? I’m excited to share our latest paper where we used this classic model in a large cohort of 888 individuals , from recreational athletes to world-class.

Long awaited update of a classic review in exercise physiology

youtu.be/ySkouONpvvU?si… Fot those interested in all things fatigue, I had a great discussion with Tony Boutagy as part of his exceptional podcast series - he is so talented at 'getting it all out' of those he interviews. Link below. Enjoy! Honourable mentions for @Scienceofsport @JeroenSwart @ProfTimNoakes and other collabotors.

I’ve been trying to think of 80s and 90s cricketers who missed out on the franchise revolution, but who may have been big money players (if they’d had the chance). So far I’ve got: Sir Viv Richards Sir Curtly Ambrose Courtney Walsh Sir Ian Botham Darren Gough Graham Gooch Robin Smith Kapil Dev Anil Kumble Mohammad Azharuddin Allan Donald Lance Klusener Javed Miandad Saeed Anwar Imran Khan Wasim Akram Waqar Younis Who have I missed out?

For those interested in all things fatigue, I did a podcast with Tony Boutagy a few weeks ago which came out on Youtube today - link below. Enjoy. If may of course put you to sleep!! (-: youtu.be/ySkouONpvvU?si… Thanks Tony for a great interview and final package / podcast...

You're hearing about people talk about dose-response increasingly. I remember a time where no one wanted to acknowledge it because the fancy dose measures would be defunct if you examined the relationship with response and the subsequent implication for training prescription!

Our new paper is available @EJAP_official! In this exploratory study, we assessed the magnitude and variance of physiological strain across moderate and vigorous exercise intensities using three prescription methods: METs, %VO₂max, and lactate thresholds. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A massive team effort to produce this joint ESSA & ACSM expert statement on “Physical Activity and Exercise Intensity Terminology”, which has been published in both JSaMS jsams.org/article/S1440-… & journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/full…   Thread 🧵👇🏽

@SimonBrundish All I heard on radio today repeatedly was ... Slot deserves backing because of last season ... but Salah is wrong to rely on past performances.

It is all so unecessary He was always missing 9 games or more after next week Public humiliating a legend who just won you the league so you can have 2 weeks extra “moving on to the new lads” who haven’t exactly earned it is repugnant Wait until spurs, the natural epoch Then if your experimenting works, it’s a totally understandable conversation to be had. Nobody is humiliated. An already fragile dressing room isn’t thrown into turmoil

@Clagopuvigo Given the known high variation for numerous reasons in "match activity profiles" NOT "performance" is this an ethical study? Especially when framed as "white players performed better than black players".

2.5 years from an idea 💡 sent to @anthonyturneruk we have now published the fourth paper in a series reviewing S&C degrees in the 🇬🇧 with @IUSCA. Hoping these provide value to our industry. 💪 @ktconditioning @j_d_hughes @trainingimpulse @JamesKeenanDU.

Our latest paper (3rd of 4 paper series) accepted in @IUSCA. Thanks to @ktconditioning @anthonyturneruk @trainingimpulse @JamesKeenanDU @j_d_hughes & Andrea Cameron for their co-authorship and ongoing support. 👊

@ChrisKirk_ASP @Peety_Editor Went to cut some more and weight went up!

@Peety_Editor I couldn’t care less about this WWE sideshow of a fight, but how likely is it that they’re using human scales that are accurate to a 20th of a lb?

Don’t worry about Chris Eubank Jr potentially using a sauna to crash the weight in breach of British Boxing Board of Control weight cutting rules. I’ve just seen a photo of Conor Benn sitting in a sauna too. So, you know, it’s sound. Money talks. 👍🏽 #EubankJrBenn #boxing

🚨Our paper "Simple rules for creating and sustaining an anti-racist sport and exercise organisation" has been published in the International Journal of Sports Policy and Politics. Check it👉🏿 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🚨 Publication alert 🚨 Great to see this paper with @AvVleuten, @tom_dumoulin @CoachLuicito @The_Teun published in @IJSPPjournal . With great gratitude to Annemiek and Tom for sharing there data and contributing to the paper. journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

Multiple PhD studentships available in the areas of sport tech, data science and environmental physiology at HKBU (Hong Kong). Expertise within sensor technologies and statistical modelling will be particularly beneficial. Pls contact me if interested.

@WillAbbott__ @UKSCA Great stint Will!

⭐️ After 3 memorable years I am stepping down from the Board of Directors at the @UKSCA 🙏🏻 It’s been a privilege to serve the membership, and work with such a great group ⏩ Looking forward to seeing the continued progress in what is an exciting time for the profession!
