An excellent study on bio-banding in ice hockey from John Lind Tommy Lundberg Erik Niklasson Daniele Cardinale | PhD that demonstrates very similar benefits for early and late maturing youth to those observed in soccer 👏🏒🇸🇪

Locked in! GW1. #FPL #FPLcommunity

New study with Liam Sweeney and colleagues. We report that the selection of reference data significantly influences the classification of biological maturity timing in national youth soccer players. Some practical consequences of this are discussed. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

The IOC asked for a solution. Here it is. Fair and safe eligibility criteria for women’s sport. I hope that this editorial is released as open access soon. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

“Rather than “policing female bodies,” screening followed by comprehensive follow-up in the rare cases that require extra consideration, with emphasis on the duty of care to every athlete, will ensure preservation of the female category for fair and safe sport.” Delighted to

New paper out from us. Here is how the IOC should do it. Thanks to Tommy Lundberg Ross Tucker and Emma Hilton for pulling this together. This is authoritative, widely supported, and defensible. And, especially for IOC MEDIA, DMs are open.

A must-read, open-access editorial on "Fair and Safe Eligibility Criteria for Women's Sport", where we propose a realistic solution to the ongoing problem of male advantage present in women's sport. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Just arrived. Let's dive into it Tommy Lundberg

Former World's Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, paid a visit to campus 💪 Scientists ran a series of strength tests and MRI scans and the findings show that Eddie’s lower-body muscle mass was almost twice (+96%) that of untrained men. Read more ➡️ lboro.uk/3z9uJ8r
