Should you delay your caffeine intake 2 hours after waking to avoid the afternoon crash? Science says NO. A recent review combed the data and found no evidence this works. One of the proposed mechanisms (adenosine clearance) was found "scientifically inaccurate"

Wow! A stunning accomplishment @ElliottSale - and well deserved!

Super excited to see this published! Lots of hard work with an awesome group of researchers! 🚨💪 Ovarian Hormone Tool - docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Open Access Paper - bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/10/4/e… Infographic - bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/bmjose… Operational Document - bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/bmjose…

🚨Classifying and monitoring ovarian hormone profiles can be challenging. We have developed this tool to increase understanding and improve support to female athletes. An outstanding team of authors too! 👇 #supplementary-materials" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/10/4/e…

🚨Very proud of this paper for three reasons: 1. lots of early career researchers as co-authors 2. this tool is designed to be used in practice to benefit female athletes 3. it pulls together over 20 years of experience in one resource! ➕ its OPEN ACCESS! bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/10/4/e…

Our latest FREE PAPER. Do female footballers really present low energy availability? Congrats to @SamMcHaffie on his final PhD paper and thanks to funders and collaborators @Lionesses @FA @ScienceinSport @LJMUSportSci @LJMU physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…

Heat is better than cold for recovery of muscle power 🌡️ Cold water immersion is widely promoted as a form of exercise recovery but could heat provide better outcomes? 🧐 This new study recruited 30 active males to complete a muscle damage protocol immediately followed by either… 🥶 Cold Water Immersion (11*C) 🥵 Hot Water Immersion (41*C 🛁 Warm Bath (Control @ 36*C) Results 📊 At 48hrs post-damage, peak torque returned to baseline in both cold + hot protocols 🥶🥵 However, explosive strength + pain threshold (muscle soreness) returned to baseline at 48hr post-damage in the hot protocol only🔥 For explosive athletes and for those seeking to reduce muscle pain, hot water immersion may be the best recovery strategy ✅

It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with an all-star team on this study examining Low Energy Availability on Boston Marathon performance and health outcomes. Check it out now in @BJSM_BMJ : bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjspor…

Study of 3389 patients with obesity in clinical practice: the mean 1-year year weight loss was −5.1% for #semaglutide vs −2.2% for #liraglutide. Factors positively associated with achieving at least 10% weight reduction at year 1 included semaglutide (vs liraglutide), obesity as a treatment indication (vs type 2 diabetes), persistent medication coverage, high dosage, and female gender. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

While she won't be home for the holiday, @EllieBlack_ is feeling grateful for sport and community this thanksgiving 🫶

Huge finding with critical implications to long-term health.

One More Time For The People In The Back 🧵 1) There is insufficient high-quality evidence to confirm or refute universal menstrual cycle phase based responses in [sports]women This is more than a lack of consensus amongst the scientific community, this is a lack of credible data
