I'm back and hoping to contribute to this space again! 🙂

What's new? And why has my feed been taken over by....well let's just say junk!

Quick-- send me movement, injury, health research and sports related info so the algorithm knows I'm one of those again 🤓🧠📚

Nick Taylor with an incredible putt on the 4th playoff hole!

A Canadian winning the Canadian Open 🇨🇦 ending a 69 year drought!

Incredible to watch 👀! Congrats 👏!

Sarcopenia is not age-related. It is disuse related (plus all the usual suspects that accelerate development).

So did Dubas self sabotage his end of the year presser on purpose ? 🤔 he definitely fooled me! 😂

[Layne Norton, PhD @BioLayne]

Building muscle is not complicated but it does take hard work & patience

Here are the biggest things you NEED to know

In order to increase muscle mass you need to progressively overload your muscles

This sounds simple but executing that can be more difficult

[Katrina Protopapas @DrKProto]

First reaction of @MapleLeafs parting ways with #Dubas was not impressed. He's only had 5 years at the helm not enough to build.

#Yzerman had 9 seasons to build what ended up being a Stanley Cup champion team 2x's (2020 & 2021) @TBLightning right after he left.

I just watched Justin Holl the entire game when he was on the ice. Two trends:

Majority of the time getting out battled and always out of position.

It's ok, go ahead and give him 17-20 mins of ice time and play on the PK, he's zero liability 😂

It's painful to watch!

[Michael Augello @MikeInBuffalo]

Courtesy of Hockey Night In Canada, this shows how out of position Justin Holl was on Duclair's breakaway. Being where he is on a penalty kill is inexcusable. #Leafs

[Katrina Protopapas @DrKProto]

Congrats to the USA on the win!

That was a wild game, lots of back and forth. Heart breaking loss for Canada, it fell apart in the last 6-8 mins of the game w/ the penalties.

As always, CAN vs USA was a thriller! Hopefully the development keeps growing for the other countries!

IT'S OFFICIAL! TEAM USA ARE CHAMPIONS!🏆

The quality of basketball of the Women's NCAA tournament has been way better than the men's.

For those making a resolution to lose weight this year, remember that preserving muscle mass during weight loss is crucial to maintaining results. Resistance training is the best strategy to ensure retention (or even an increase) of muscle 💪 https://t.co/nIXl4KP8Ro

[ESPN @espn]

The greatest to ever do it.

Thank you, @serenawilliams ❤️

[Stuart Phillips (he/him) @mackinprof]

After decades of evidence and lots of studies, why do we still click on the ad the promises the ‘answer’ for [insert condition: weight loss, muscle gain, longevity…] THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS! NO MAGIC… sigh 😔 That’s it, PSA over!

[Katrina Protopapas @DrKProto]

Small observation watching my partner's niece play Atom B hockey on Sat.

Both head coaches and all assistant coaches were all men (a total of 6).

Both referees were men as well.

IMO more female mentors are need in those roles for development of these young girls! @OWHAhockey

Running is safe for joints. Don't be scared of 'wearing out your knees' - that's not a thing. Share far and wide. Time to make sure no one is scared of running!

This is why @Giannis_An34 is the best!

[Katrina Protopapas @DrKProto]

@EdTrefzger @TimBenzPGH Hopefully they will! But this happened at Wayne State in 2012. The Ilitch's owners of (Little Caesars/Red Wings/Detroit Tigers) were offering support but the President as well as the AD had no intention of saving the program.

[PWHLPA @PWHLPA]

THANK YOU - to all of YOU - who tuned in all week long, and all year long. For supporting the players, engaging with us, watching games, and so much more.

Together, we continue to move the game forward!

There's a disturbing trend of universities within the @CHAWomensHockey

Women Hockey programs ✂️ by their institutions in the past 15 years:
1. University of Findlay
2. Wayne State University
3. Niagara University

And sadly now 🤦‍♀️:
4. Bobby Mo @RMU
