Come on y’all how is this not the biggest event lmao?! Team USA

Bears repeating: Great work from Exercise Metabolism Research Group members Alysha D’Souza (she/her) and Kyle J. Lau Exercise in the maintenance of weight loss: health benefits beyond lost weight on the scale. bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/13/…

Excellent work from @laurencs25 Alysha D’Souza (she/her) Kirsty Sale Stuart Phillips (he/him) Despite lots of people making sweeping recommendations to adjust training based on menstrual cycle phases - the evidence is varied, and it's likely premature to make such recommendations!

Current evidence DOES NOT support widespread recommendations for menstrual cycle phase based training… Need I say more? Huge thanks to Stuart Phillips (he/him) @laurencs25 Alysha D’Souza (she/her) for including me in this research.

Sport wants evidence based practice; this is the evidence. FACT Is this topic more nuanced than this paper? YES Will there be individual differences (paper shows group data)? YES Is the job done? NO Do we need more high quality research? 100% YES frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

NEW BLOG: No evidence to adapt training to phases of the menstrual cycle. This blog describes findings from a recent study by Kirsty Sale and Stuart Phillips (he/him) et al. Read the blog for more: bit.ly/3UQjOqP

Gutted I can't attend #ACSM23! But Stuart Phillips (he/him)'s PMRL will be out in force! Alysha D’Souza (she/her) "A Comparison Of Methods For Quantifying Skeletal Muscle Mass In Young Women" Session: D-36 Date/Time: June 1, 9:30-11:00 AM Check it out!

My favorite take home: Doing something (even if it’s lifting light weights 1x/week) is still better than doing nothing 👏🏽👏🏽 so proud

Fantastic to see our network meta analysis of resistance training prescriptions (192 studies; ~5000 participant) out! bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Take-aways... This network meta-analysis is the largest synthesis of resistance training prescription data from randomised trials. All resistance training prescriptions are better than no exercise for strength and hypertrophy in healthy adults.

Is menstrual cycle phase-based training necessary? No. And, frankly, it might be detrimental, especially if the athlete dramatically reduces training volume or intensity for half the month @‌laurencs25 sportsmith.co/articles/does-… via Sportsmith

How do resistance training variables stack up when it comes to their importance for key benefits? In short: Load ranked highest for strength More sets ranked highest for muscle growth New systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis from Stuart Phillips (he/him) and colleagues:

When analyzed, women gain the same relative amount of lean mass (and presumably muscle) and strength as men sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32218059/ So why all the fuss over T (total or free), as a causative factor in RT-induced hypertrophy?
