The differences seen in fatigue rates for sexes (with females tending to fatigue slower) may relate with differences in blood flow during muscular contractions and recovery https://t.co/VffyINBv8C @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

Common misconception: you shouldn't do cardio while gaining muscle. This study shows HIIT for 20-30 minutes after lifting + eating at or above maintenance will reduce interference with your gains https://t.co/U4fpldgux3 @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

Study w/ 2 groups, same daily protein, diff. distributions: high vs low protein breakfasts. No statistically significant effects on body comp measurements BUT the high-protein group had slightly increased strength. https://t.co/rpigL1JGrN @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

Found this video of apparently some hydraulic training technology. What is this? https://t.co/w5p1UjJBa2 @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

A recent study from 2020 emphasized the principle of individuality. Subjects trained 1 leg w/ standardized volume and 1 w/ individualized volume. Individualized led to more quad growth.

Got to see an awesome resistance band hip thrust variation where you attach the band horizontally across to both band pegs. You then slide under it and continue as a normal hip thrust @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

[Allie X Hanichak @HanichakX]

@Cody_PerezEXS @KyleBeyerPhD Agreed. It also gets a bit more of your glutes worked in @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

Wow. I learned that reverse lunges really test your balance in today’s lab @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

Hit an exciting new PR for my deadlift today! Really pushed it on my last set. I love looking back at the progress I've made. One of the many great reasons to keep a workout log. @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

Having trouble sprinting the last lap or making another shot? Try imagery - imagining what success in your sport looks like to you @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

A big part of excelling in a sport is motivation. Find a personal reason to play, and you'll excel. It's awesome if you're playing for a scholarship, but finding intrinsic motivation will help you perform @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

@GavinBarton25 @KyleBeyerPhD I just read more into it. It's called the hot hand phenomenon. The 1st 2 studies say it's a myth. More recent studies (Gula & Raab, 2004 & Burns, 2004) found the opp. A good example is the Mav vs Jazz game where Nowitzki scored 29 points 4th quarter @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

Just watched an amazing video portraying flow (that sensation when you are totally on autopilot) for my sport psych class. He makes 6 three-pointers in a row! https://t.co/x3VAXGq0Hw @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

A mix of cooperation and competition is ideal for achieving excellence. This is where team sports, situations with cooperative means and competitive ends, excel. @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

@Alyssa_K_Byers @KyleBeyerPhD I prefer to mix Optimum nutrition's whey isolate with low fat milk to get a nice blend of whey (fast acting) and casein (slow acting) protein to delay catabolism @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

If you're interested in testing your vertical jump height at home, you can just rub chalk or charcoal on your fingers instead of using a vertec @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

[Allie X Hanichak @HanichakX]

If you don't have access to a gym, you can try out resistance bands and/or weighted vests to increase the intensity of your at-home bodyweight workouts @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

[Allie X Hanichak @HanichakX]

@lazor_rebecca @KyleBeyerPhD Agreed! Cardio at the gym can get boring! Switch it up by going for a trail run, hike, or walk in your neighborhood @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci295

[Allie X Hanichak @HanichakX]

I've never used resistance bands in conjunction with barbells so I'm excited to try it and practice powerful eccentric movements @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294

[Allie X Hanichak @HanichakX]

Why should you care about muscular power? Well, for one, because it's multi-faceted, it can be a predictor of physical function in older adults @KyleBeyerPhD #BUExSci294
