A huge congrats to my intern for successfully getting his FYP accepted by JSCR. With the regression equation from this study, we can predict 1RM squat with peak force obtained from isometric squat with relatively low errors. But as usual, inter-individual results may differ.

Seeking the opinion of S&C coaches with golfers. Is anyone using the TPI screening tool or forced to by the coach? Do you see any value in using it?

Experts like Alex Natera, PhD and Danny Lum, PhD, CSCS, ASCA L2 have significantly contributed to the popularity of isometric training. It's now viewed as an essential supplement to traditional training, especially beneficial during competitive seasons with little recovery time.

Got our sports med trainee DRs to plan a program for a sprinter with hamstring injury. I recommended the inclusion of low intensity running drills & PLY early to ⬇️ the time to RTS. This study showed that early inclusion of sprint technical training ⬇️ RTS duration by 4-12 wks.

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT!🚨Excited and happy about the main paper of Yiannis Lambrianides PhD!💪🥳 Muscle adapts primarily via metabolic and tendon via mechanical stimuli (magnitude of experienced tendon strain), which influences the risk of tendon overuse injuries. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Another great source of learning material on sprint training by ALTIS

Does anyone know if there's any running track that the public can have access to in Venice, Italy? Will be there with our sprinter this July for the Athletica meet.

Results from this study indicate that individuals with low muscle strength are 2.68-4.63x more likely to be depressed. Not surprising since being weak is depressing 🤣🤣🤣 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

A constructive critique of this recent Trommelen et al. paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38118410/ Wonderful to reconnect with old friend and colleague from postdoc days Samuel Mettler #protein #muscle #anabolic doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem….

Dr. Keith Baar (@musclescience) produces some of the most interesting lab-based research on tendons out there. He disseminates his work so effectively: Papers - Presentations - Podcasts Here are my key takeaways (and best resources for S&Cs) from a phenomenal body of work

Our study on using isometric squat to predict 1RM squat is now published online Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research . journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/full…

Please like/re-share🙏🏽 Attention🚨Performance Teams - Sport Scientists, Physiotherapist, S&Cs, Sport Coaches etc worldwide🌎 Pls take 10mins to fill out this research survey on monitoring strategies you use for sport (for my PhD student, Davide Mondin) redcap.canberra.edu.au/surveys/?s=RT8…

Isometrics and Plyometrics are a lethal combination IMO. Check out Danny Lum, PhD, CSCS, ASCA L2 ‘s ebook for some strong rationale and some excellent sample programs.

Thanks for having me on Rob! Well done Sportsmith with the click bait 😂👊
