Our new review is to remind researchers studying sex differences in physiology to match males and females for fitness using fat-free mass as the denominator. If not matched, is your effect a true sex difference or a fitness difference?

Something to consider for athletes who suspect they are prediabetic based on a HbA1c test: elite and professional cyclists had higher HbA1c but lower fasting glucose than sedentary people.

New! We measured rates of hemoglobin synthesis in trained and untrained individuals and found them to be similar despite some earlier work showing shorter RBC lifespan in athletes. Martin MacInnis physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…

Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS! We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners. 📌Below details of what we’ve found. 🆓 Open-Access 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm… Rich Blagrove 🧵1/14

Why low-intensity endurance training for athletes? Dr. Matomäki answers this question in a new perspective article European Journal of Applied Physiology, presenting seven possible hypotheses on why endurance athletes should engage in excess amount of low-intensity training. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Lost a legend in sport. From his early work defining the physiology of running to his coaching book that brought easy to follow science of training to the masses, Daniels left a gigantic impact on the sport.

Is human energy expenditure constrained? I recently debated Herman Pontzer on this topic at RACMEM. My slides can be viewed here: linkedin.com/posts/javier-g…
