Had a fantastic time visiting @UWBadgerAP lab! Such an impressive team Bryan Heiderscheit has built. Learned a ton & hope I contributed a little bit by speaking about the @sfurunlab experience.

Huge 🙏🏻 to Mike Hahn @BowermanSSC for inviting me to Eugene to speak about my research program! A generous host, impressive lab, & a wonderful group of colleagues/trainees made it a very special experience. Of course being a track nerd & marathon weekend made it even better! 🤓🏃🏻

I agree with the sentiment, but context matters, too. As you say, that was a different era. Thanks to @sweatscience for digging up the quote below from Chris Brasher about Bruce Kidd (from the latter’s autobiography).

In the statistical sense? Yes, I think these go a long way. Obviously pop specific but a reasonable guide for rec runners at these speeds on a treadmill. Of course, it’s important for these “normal” values be kept in perspective with overall clinical picture and not misused 👇

Increasing the role of the sport physio in teams/NSOs can improve injury registration and implementation of injury prevention programs. An increased presence can also improve adherence and athlete/PT education. Research also necessary to further future injury prevention programs!

To be effective, we need to increase the role physios play w/in teams/NSOs. The @IntFSPT and national sport physio organizations have a role to play in advocating for this!

Roles, barriers, and solutions to sport physio’s involvement in injury prevention. Need to identify the problem before we can implement prevention strategies. Education of sport physios is central to improving this process.

The physio world lost a giant last summer when Bill Lyons tragically passed away. Last night he was recognized with the CAMPT Lifetime Award at the @OrthoDiv symposium in Winnipeg, and Tricia was there to receive it on his behalf. Couldn’t have gone to anyone more deserving!

Congrats to @Henrik_Riel on winning the best abstract presentation at #WCSPT2022!
I’ll definitely do what I can to convert that 🥈 from Vancouver to a 🥇 in Nyborg but I’ll be facing plenty of stiff competition.

Runners: need a reason to strengthen your calves? Demands on plantarflexors (primarily soleus) during running is massive at all speeds. @Seth0Neill

Running with a forefoot strike pattern adds an additional load of 48x body weight to the Achilles tendon for each mile run! Important consideration if changing gait or working with a runner with a history/risk of Achilles tendinopathy. @UDtendongroup

The “Kairos moment”: the moment when the archer finds the perfect opening to shoot his arrow and hit his target.
Don’t underestimate the opportunity of the initial consult with an athlete.

Hi Kate! Heavy loading is the key. This may be via a heel drop program, but it needs to be heavy (>70% maximum voluntary contraction).
