💪🔬📊Muscle Damage, Endocrine, and Immune Marker Response to a Soccer Match The factors associated with increased muscle damage after games were; ⬆️ Sprint distance ⬆️ Sprint count ⬆️ High-intensity distance journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/full…

Too many games? Fixture congestion? Is it better, worse or the same than before...? and what are we doing about it…? Some thoughts… linkedin.com/pulse/too-many…

On the way back 💪 Xavi Simons recently spent time at the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center in Los Angeles as he works hard to recover from his injury 👇

"If you fail to rotate at the right time, losing a player through injury for a period of weeks, that player will miss more games in total than they would have if they were simply rested." Why rotating players over the festive period is best for everyone. 📝 Jacob Whitehead

Traditionally, 30 was seen as a milestone for top players, the point at which their careers began winding down. But is that changing? Will more continue into their late thirties and even forties thanks to advances in sports science and nutrition? ✍️ Sarah Shephard

Novel findings which show how Snus use may impact glucose stability. Questions arise if Snus may impact recovery kinetics linked to glycogen re-synthesis, in addition to elevated sympathetic activity, so greater importance of its use during periods of physical and mental demand?

Sportsmith Six: What are the biggest misconceptions about athlete recovery? With Matt Driller, Shona Halson, Robin Thorpe, Peter Tierney, Barry Horgan, Darren Burgess - supported by firefly Recovery sportsmith.co/articles/bigge…

"The understanding that recovery should be compartmentalised and matched with respective physiological and psychological systems is the first step." Robin Thorpe sportsmith.co/articles/bigge…

"The next is recognising the contextual factors that may determine whether certain techniques and strategies are even required to accelerate such systems toward a more optimal state." Robin Thorpe sportsmith.co/articles/bigge…

JB Morin We are delighted to have Robin Thorpe who brings a unique view on measuring & tracking RTP outcomes. In his talk, Robin will discuss how to ensure relevant qualities and 'training effects' are measured and interpreted appropriately in the context of injury and RTP.

Recommended listen if you want to understand the foundational concepts of athlete recovery, fatigue and adaptation 👌🏼 If you’re working with athletes this is the starting point to recovery-adaptation decision making

Something I've challenged force plate users on for CMJ & monitoring 'neuro'muscular fatigue. They dont measure specific neural properties just global mechanical output. may not be sensitive to detect specific types of neural fatigue. Nice Jared Fletcher link.springer.com/article/10.100…

How can the monitoring and management of recovery & fatigue impact the full continuum of prevention and care related to hamstring injuries? Excited to discuss this topic in two weeks at the Sports Medicine Conference 2025 in London
