New study provide further support that the muscle mass and strength advantage in TW is retained for very long: Cardiopulmonary capacity and muscle strength in transgender women on long-term gender-affirming hormone therapy: a cross-sectional study bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

Very interesting study from Journal Club this week! Love the use of EMG visual feedback training to enhance Soleus activity in the cohort! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Delighted to share our published article: "Perturbation-based balance training: Principles, mechanisms and implementation in clinical practice" w Tanvi Bhatt, Marissa Gerards, Kiros Karamanidis, Mark Rogers, Stephen Lord & Yoshi Okubo Frontiers - Sports and Active Living frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… 🧵

Is it ok if this is a personal career highlight for me? 😂 Also, those poor beagles... MLSS protocols suck!

What if neural control of muscles were more flexible and detailed than we thought? What if cortex could determine which motoneurons are active within a muscle? @najabam and Josh Glaser did some very hard things to find out: doi.org/10.1038/s41593…

We do NOT need to get to 10,000 steps to see incredible benefits! "Compared with the least (1895 steps), the first quartile (4000 steps/day) had a 37% lower risk for all causes of death (HR = 0.63, 0.57-0.71)" Liu et al. 2022 1/n
