🚨⚽️Attention Academy Soccer Coaches! ⚽️🚨 We are currently recruiting experienced youth soccer coaches for a research project that we are conducting to assess the skill of talented youth soccer players. Further information below ⬇️ please like and repost!

Are you interested in how academy soccer coaches perceive player's skill? ⚽️ We just published a qualitative study in Sci & Med Football exploring experienced academy soccer coaches' perspectives on player's skilfulness. Here are 50 free copies ⬇️ tandfonline.com/eprint/N2MBUCN…

The cross-education effect is so fascinating We will have some new data coming out about this topic in coming months Think we answer some interesting questions and we follow up on some unanswered questions from Bell et al. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37423835/

Really nice review by Raz Leib, Ian S Howard, M. Millard, & David Franklin onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100….

[1/5] 🔖I'd recommend this fantastic review paper as a starting point for anyone with an interest in H-reflexes ⚡️ "Revisiting the use of Hoffmann reflex in motor control research on humans" by Anastasia Theodosiadou et al link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🧵 A thread of figures 👇

We are back with a journal club on Feb 7th! We will kick off with a discussion of @JamesSteeleII chapter 1 on philosophical concepts in sport and exercise science from the forthcoming STORK book. Available: doi.org/10.51224/SRXIV… Register: mcmaster.zoom.us/meeting/regist… All welcome!

Repost if you think Ricky Gervais should host another awards show.

RTs appreciated: I have an open position for a PostDoc in the newly formed Neural Health Research Laboratory at Syracuse University. Funding available for 2 yrs. It is a tight timeline as I'm looking for candidates that can start right away. sujobopps.com/postings/105821

Here is why Layne Norton (Layne Norton, PhD) is wrong in the way he approaches “outcome studies” versus “mechanisms.” 🧵

We invite researchers and practitioners to participate in a live Delphi study on the most effective TID and TDE practices in sports. If you are interested, please message or email me ([email protected]). See below for more info. Job Fransen Dr Dylan Poulus William McCalman

The Times Higher Education ranking is based in part on the completely invalid measurements collected from an unrepresentative sample as the questions below. Institutions should completely ignore it. We do not accept crap research into journals, we should not accept it in policy.

"The purpose of the present study was to examine if the cross-education of strength from unilateral high-load training can augment the strength changes in the contralateral arm engaging in the same unilateral high-load training." #OleMissMuscle onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Confidence intervals are confusing intervals. The reason is because they tell us something about what happens across many confidence intervals, not in any single confidence interval. In the long run, 95% of 95% CI contain a population parameter. 1/n

Tough math teachers get lower ratings from students, because students like them less. However, students get better grades with the tough teachers than with laxer teachers. Reason #167 why student evaluations of teaching aren’t particularly useful. [Link below.]

🧵NEW: My latest paper, published by ECSS, is a meta-analysis of sex differences in grip strength from birth to age 16. Conclusion: "Boys have greater grip strength than girls from birth onward. Prior to age 11, the sex difference in grip strength is small-to-moderate in

We re-analyzed the meta-analysis and found that the conclusion is almost entirely driven by publication bias. Both state-of-the-art and standard methods reduce the degree of the effect 2-3 fold. Moreover, the data no longer show statistical evidence for the main conclusions.

If you design a study to test a prediction, you need to be able to falsify it. In frequentist statistics this is achieved through an equivalence test. You can't have an informative test if you can't prove yourself wrong. Learn about equivalence testing. lakens.github.io/statistical_in…

Finally out!! Our first study looking at neural mechanisms of the cross-education effect induced by eccentric contractions feat Emeric Chalchat Vincent.martin5 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

If you are a researcher in health sciences and haven't already done so, I would encourage you to give Nullius In Verba a listen. Some very thought-provoking discussions and readings that I wish I had been exposed to much earlier in my career.
