Right then here goes!!! So I’ve just received this evening notification of another 3 complaints sent to the HCPC about more so called unprofessional behaviour online that they are ‘investigating’ yet again! These complaints were all sent during the first week of my hearing in July and I think explains why my first hearing was postponed after 5 years of prolonged delays! So unfortunately I think I’m just about done with the profession right now, and think I will now voluntarily deregulate myself from the HCPC and physiotherapy! I just don’t think I can be bothered to fight anymore of these malicious and pathetic complaints from those I have criticised, offended, or upset in the past and deal with the HCPCs woeful drawn handling of them! It really is mentally fatiguing and exhausting! I also have a feeling that these complaints and investigations will never stop now unless I do this! So for my own mental and physical health, and to allow me to say what I want, how I want, including my critique and criticism of the dogma and outdated thinking and people in this profession, I think that I have no choice but to find another path that allows me to honestly and simply help those in pain and disability! It’s been a fun and emotional 20 year ride, and I hate the fact that I have to leave a profession I love and am passionate about under these circumstances! But life goes on! And to those that have submitted these complaints recently and in the past… Congrats… well played… you’ve got what you’ve wanted! But believe me… you haven’t won the fight, there are still many more rounds left in me and I hope you have the stamina for it… Because believe… I do! See you on the other side!

We don’t need more evidence that exercise is beneficial. We do need more work on how to translate this evidence into practice.

Both muscle mass and function decline with ageing. But one is arguably more important to target with resistance training. Here’s why:

Low-carb🥩is best for all outcomes😉 - Athletes 🏋🏻adhering to an LCHF diet 🥩 have impaired training capacity (⬇️lower training volumes at ⬇️slower speeds, with ⬆️higher heart rates🫀) relative to their high-carb🥖 counterparts: journals.humankinetics.com/v…

Game 7 here we come

Any academic knows the pain of re-formatting manuscripts for different journals. This paper estimated the time and costs associated with meeting the diverse formatting requirements in biomedical journals. "Should the current practice remain unchanged within this decade, we estimate ~2.5 billion USD could be lost between 2022 and 2030 - solely due to reformatting articles after a first editorial desk rejection." bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.co…

Ketodiet suboptimal for muscle-building? "When carbohydrate restriction is maintained for 8 to 12 weeks, the alterations in anabolic signaling, protein synthesis, and myogenesis likely contribute to limited hypertrophic responses to resistance training" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3705…

Ok this is big. Web of Science just removed the MDPI flagship journal IJERPH from their lists. This means IJERPH has no more an Impact Factor. Why is this big? What are the implications? 🧵
