So Eimear Dolan and I are editing a textbook for Improving Kinesiology on research methods. We're preprinting early chapters for feedback... Here's the first from me. Foundations of Scientific Research in the Sport and Exercise Sciences sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv… Welcome any thoughts!

Our deload paper officially pubbed. No evidence of benefit to muscle resensitization or enhanced recovery from taking off a week in the middle of an intense, higher volume RT block. Limitations for practical application noted. 💪 peerj.com/articles/16777/

All 3 papers (#openaccess) now out in the The BMJ on the **Evaluation of clinical prediction models** part 1: tinyurl.com/3h4zfvfw part 2: tinyurl.com/ynytrpmx part 3: tinyurl.com/2cfc9uj3 #stats #MachineLearning #predictiveanalytics

We are back with a journal club on Feb 7th! We will kick off with a discussion of James Steele 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!

Please share with your networks, this journal club is open to everybody. I'm excited to start informal discussion and conversations again in STORK journal clubs, and looking forward to hearing people's opinions on this topic in particular.

Our new meta indicates that CWI has a detrimental effect on hypertrophy in RT programs when performed consistently over time. Occasional use unlikely to have negative consequences. Employ with caution if the goal is maximal muscle development onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

We are updating the Cochrane review evidence of Physical Fitness Training after Stroke. Do you know of any new RCTs 2018 onward, published, unpublished or ongoing? Share & let us know! 1⃣ Cardiorespiratory training 2⃣ Resistance training 3⃣ Mixed cardio/resistance training

Excited to deliver on this PPEF funded project with Dylan Morrissey, Dr Simon Lack, Dr Paul Swinton, Pure Sports Medicine, angie fearon, & others 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Preprint of our new meta on effects of rest intervals on hypertrophy. Evidence for a small effect of RI >1 min; little evidence supporting benefits >90 secs. For the gen pop, any differences likely inconsequential. Perhaps autoregulating RI duration best? sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Most comprehensive meta to date exploring relationships between training variables, participant characteristics and improvements in maximum strength, power, vertical jump, agility and sprinting performance. Kudos to Dr Paul Swinton for spearheading💪pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38652410/

Now we have confirmed all speakers this is how the Second Salford Strength and Conditioning Symposium is looking with our full line up🧐 Join us in person or online by signing up here: shop.salford.ac.uk/conferences-an…

Join us for a discussion with Eimear Dolan on May 15th Register: mcmaster.zoom.us/meeting/regist… All welcome!

New study shows leaning back in the leg extension (40 degrees hip extension) elicits markedly greater growth in the rectus femoris compared to a typical 90-degree hip angle sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Our new study shows superset training elicited similar muscular adaptations vs traditional sets in trained men/women, but took ~36% less time to complete. Important implications as lack of time considered a primary barrier to adherence. Preprint link: sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

Please to chair a session on all things response variability with Dr Paul Swinton and Hannah Thomas on the last day of a great #ECSS2024 conference. Take home message, it's complicated... but individualised exercise prescription *can* reduce response variability!

Our new study indicates importance of exercise selection. The leg extension targets the rec fem while the leg press targets the vastus lateralis. The straight let calf raise targets the medial gastroc; unclear effects of the bent leg calf raise link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our meta-analysis on the effect of rest intervals on hypertrophy officially pubbed. Modest negative effect with very short rest (~1 min); above 90 secs, no appreciable differences frontiersin.org/journals/sport…

New pre-print of a framework to guide recruitment of males/females in sport and exercise research. Great to get feedback on here or to [email protected]. sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…
