Is Quansah really better than TAA defensively? Debateable. However, there must've been atleast 10 occasions where TAA would have killed it with a better pass/cross. @SimonBrundish

This study finds significant limitations in the ability of photoplethysmography (PPG), a technology employed by many many wearable devices, to act as a surrogate for electrocardiogram in heart rate variability measurements in athletes.

Interesting paper on "how low can you go" when it comes to training intensity... Researchers compared 6 weeks of training at VT1 versus ~12% below VT1, with total volume matched. Result? Both groups improved endurance performance by essentially the same amount: • Critical Speed ↑ similarly • 3600m performance ↑ similarly • Jump performance ↑ similarly • D′ (anaerobic capacity) ↓ similarly The only real difference was that the VT1 group reported: • Higher RPE 🥵 • More fatigue 😫 • Higher training strain 💔 In other words, running ~10-15% slower than VT1 produced the same fitness gains with less overall training stress. A useful reminder that just because it feels harder, doesn't mean it's more productive... Sometimes, slower really is smarter!

New publication Sports Medicine! After 35 years, how well does Joyner’s endurance performance model still hold up? I’m excited to share our latest paper where we used this classic model in a large cohort of 888 individuals , from recreational athletes to world-class.

Long awaited update of a classic review in exercise physiology

youtu.be/ySkouONpvvU?si=o6Dn… Fot those interested in all things fatigue, I had a great discussion with Tony Boutagy as part of his exceptional podcast series - he is so talented at 'getting it all out' of those he interviews. Link below. Enjoy! Honourable mentions for @Scienceofsport @JeroenSwart @ProfTimNoakes and other collabotors.

For those interested in all things fatigue, I did a podcast with Tony Boutagy a few weeks ago which came out on Youtube today - link below. Enjoy. If may of course put you to sleep!! (-: youtu.be/ySkouONpvvU?si=o6Dn… Thanks Tony for a great interview and final package / podcast...

You're hearing about people talk about dose-response increasingly. I remember a time where no one wanted to acknowledge it because the fancy dose measures would be defunct if you examined the relationship with response and the subsequent implication for training prescription!

Our new paper is available @EJAP_official! In this exploratory study, we assessed the magnitude and variance of physiological strain across moderate and vigorous exercise intensities using three prescription methods: METs, %VO₂max, and lactate thresholds. link.springer.com/article/10…

2.5 years from an idea 💡 sent to @anthonyturneruk we have now published the fourth paper in a series reviewing S&C degrees in the 🇬🇧 with @IUSCA. Hoping these provide value to our industry. 💪 @ktconditioning @j_d_hughes @trainingimpulse @JamesKeenanDU.
