@GregLehman @TaiwanOzPhysio Tension from the fibres anchoring the itb to the lfc in a layer of vasculaized fat. It compresses at 30 degrees knee flexion so that doesn’t look likely in runners. So I think it’s tension from lateral movement in extension

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@GregLehman @jake_tuura The strain is what is happening to the lenghtening fibre but shear is what is happening between the fibres. Presuming slightly different lengths and different orientations and close proximity (which it is). I think the injuries are from tensile shear during lengthening (strain)

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@GregLehman @jake_tuura Shear is the physical term if one fibre is moving differentially against another fibre. If from rest fibres lengthen then it is tensile shear

@ACSMNews @stanherringmd wish i got there. i got a scholarship to seattle in 2020. The only man i knew to have three phones. one for cloinic, one for seattle seahawk players and one for seattle seahawk player managers. His approach - time and then intervention is a great message for elite sports medicine

@KirstiMiller30 @TraceyLeeHolmes @RealWorldBoxing what level of testosterone do you think they should be resticted too? Less than 70ng/L or do you think it should be higher or lower. What should be the penalty if they are detected higher than this?

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@KirstiMiller30 @TraceyLeeHolmes @RealWorldBoxing are there any studies demonstrating it does not confer an advatage. such a difficult issue. What about anatomical advantages of males such as bigger hands. genuinely I do not know but you sound like you do.

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@DrPeteMalliaras My guess is Step back applies more force in the longitudinal plane of the tendon. Impulse force of lengthening is greater than the force that tendon can match. So it fails. Tendon (and muscle) at risk with lengthening (not compression).

@keithgraham You have made any MSK research interpretation impossible.

#hottest100 by the what I’m listening to I’m glad we are at number 105 as numbers 106 to 110 have been rubbish. Bring back the 80s 90s 00s 10s and probably the 60s and 70s

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@Seth0Neill @Sinead_Holden Might be simple physics in jumpers/runners. Equal force will be experienced at both ends of the tendon, or very close Young bone soft tibial tuberosity = O-S. older the larger surface area of the distal attachment (force indirect proportional to area) protects so prox end has PT

@TKoutsantonisMP Can’t help myself here. The labor government sold CSL for 300million it is now worth 140000million. Add in qantas, commonwealth bank and Telstra (bipartisan), electricity in VIC and QLD.

@GregLehman Your best ever post!!

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@ActivateGlutes @EmeroleAnderson great video. Modern sprinting frontside mechanics, modern sprinting backside mechanics, modern sprinting great spikes. It is all so much fun. Wish they would just wipe the female records from the 80's drugs 100,200,400,longjump, etc.

@jrojourno Dont watch spotlight but the cricket was done. You have very questionable ethics. Homophobia is a poor look in todays society @elonmusk is probably correct about your lot at the ABC. Unaccountable. Egotistical

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@markwillacy Dont watch Spotlight. It was just on instead of the cricket. It is pretty clear though. Your ethics look very questionable

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

CPD at the clinic. All welcome.

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@ringsau Should be sorting out the Chinese swimmers as well

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@TraceyLeeHolmes it should be noted that it was Chinese security who undertook the investigation at the hotel to state it was contamination. On the basis TMZ found in waste. And the other hotel no other athletes tested +ve (there were only 3 athletes tested)

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@TraceyLeeHolmes Testing of Chinese swimmers ceased nov20. Training camp dec20. No testing. Same place as later +ve tests in jan21. Most likely rather than contamination is the athletes took TMZ dec21 perfect time for training block pre Olympics and then got caught with runoff low levels jan21.

[Geoffrey Verrall @GeoffreyVerrall]

@TraceyLeeHolmes Fascinating case. CHINADA tests +ve feb21. No provisional suspension. WADA notified no sanction june21. WADAjuly21 no appeal as contamination was plausible. All hidden. Coverup caught in Apr23. Cottier previously worked with WADA prosecutors is “independent” says cover up OK
