I thought 95% efficacy meant just that! I get that waining immunity and new variants have changed the game but I thought there was definitely a time when the vaccine was reported to stop infection. (I'm boostered btw just to be clear about my stance)
@MichaelRayDC I fully understand your point about flexion being as good as impossible to avoid. Also the term loaded covers a wide spectrum. But slight flexion and something like a Jefferson curl seem world's apart to me. If IVDs adapt as we hope, what's the timeframe for programming training?
Over the last few weeks I’ve been looking at the research into the effects of various types of exercise on lumbar spinal discs, to see if there is any support to the common beliefs that some types are worse than others, and that discs are not adaptable!
This is what I found… 🧵

@MichaelRayDC Thanks! I'm trying to better understand the following: What is the rate of adaptation of the intervertebral discs to loaded flexion? Then secondly, how is this affected by previous disc injury?
@GregLehman Feel my comment has been hijacked slightly! 😅 Fro the record I agree the onus usually lies on the driver to ensure they don't injure or kill others.
@GregLehman 1/ Having been on both sides of this I think there is something to be said for this. Sometimes drivers put cyclists lives at risk. Sometimes cyclists put their own lives at risk. Understanding where drivers might do something stupid has saved me being hit on several occasions.
@GregLehman Yes I agree that is almost always the case by virtue of how vulnerable cyclists are compared to drivers. I don't think they are trying to blame cyclists here though. I think it has been left deliberately ambiguous as to whose fault this near miss was.
@CorKinetic I like Gray Cook's mantra, "move well then move often". The end game should definitely be more movement but is there not an element of making sure people are moving in a way the promotes efficiency and joint health?
@AdamMeakins As the paper you shared found that eccentric loading increased fascicle length whereas concentric training had the inverse effect; is there an argument for doing an eccentric-only version of the pullovers if the goal is increased ROM?
@AdamMeakins Thanks I'll have a read of that. Any thoughts on how the results would compare to using methods such as PNF stretching techniques or the FRC type PAILS/RAILS and CARs mobility techniques?
