- ATHLETES LISTEN UP: When you train you have to adequately fuel. When you train more, you have to EAT MORE. Food=fuel. Fuel=adaptation. Adaptation=Performance. 3 new studies showing aspects of fueling related to bone health, injuries, over-reaching & performance. See below.
- A nice reminder about the top 20 cognitive biases to start our 2021...
- For those that read sport science textbooks please read this (an email I just sent, now blinded) - as most times the content is developed off the backs of experts, who do it for free, and then give up copyright. The scientific publishing industry model has to change.
- Olympic Golds can move people. Here is Gjert Ingebrigtsen father of Jakob after his son won 1500m @Tokyo2020 Olympic Gold
- Are you kidding me? Who gets into Science magazine (w/ insane impact factor) with a sports nutrition review? @LouiseMBurke & @JohnAHawley author an amazing review that will hit the masses of science. Great overview & required reading! OPEN ACCESS: science.sciencemag.org/content/362/64…
- Finally-a unified approach to classifying research participants performance caliber, where the terms world-class/elite/sedentary actually mean something! Great co-authors in @MckayAlannah @ella__smith_ @davidtmartin @inigomujika_en Dr. Goosey-Tolfrey, @SheppardCoach @LouiseMBurke
- For unfortunate reasons there is a lot of communication the last few days on body weight, body image, physical health, mental health & performance. Unfortunately, there have been a lot of misconceptions, and logical fallacies, about body weight & performance-some of my thoughts.
- For years "lactate" has been the devil. It's not! Correlations w/ fatigue aren't causative: if you read anything today, please read this: phys.org/news/2018-05-l…. (now associated acidosis (pH) is another story, and also controversial, but it's not lactate!).
- to any/all of football friends, Usain Bolt hasn't raced in nearly 2 years, 32 years old, and most recent tweets are about partying, runs 4.22 40 yard NFL Combine to tie fastest time ever.....in sweats and sneakers.....
- There are some publications you are just especially happy and proud of – a real team effort and finally published today: 42 world-class female runners training, injuries and performance outcomes before, during and post-pregnancy. @MSSEonline pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35975937/
- This publication means a lot- authors are unreal! (@runmarycain @laurenfleshman @karagoucher @margomountjoy @DrKateAckerman @ElliottSale. Editorial in @BJSM_BMJ on changes required for RED-S on health/performance. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… // see here: researchgate.net/publication/33…
- The onslaught of software facing the modern sport scientist (as collected by @smartabase ). Interesting that I still do most of my athlete programming using a bespoke spreadsheet made live into Teams...
