@lahti_johan I'm not sure we do understand the cause and effect, Johan, certainly not from any evidence I can recall. Also, that point about learning the movement is really interesting, but again not something I am aware of having been studied in depth 🤷‍♂️

[Dr Ian Bezodis 💙🇺🇦 @IanBez]

And that’s a wrap 😅 Thank you to everyone who came and engaged today for making it such an enjoyable event to be a part of 👏🙏👍

The calm before the storm. Looking forward to a day discussing all things speed for team sports at our inaugural @CardiffSpeedHub event

Enjoyed presenting some of the results from my MSc dissertation at the @basesuk student conference and co-chaired a session too. To top it off I was awarded the postgraduate free communication presentation award.

“I can’t train at home…but we want to protect the reputation of our country around the world. Being Ukrainian right now, that’s a big responsibility”

Ukraine’s sprint relay team are back on campus

The goal, the Paris Olympics in 2024, & @cardiffmet are helping make it happen.

[Dr Ian Bezodis 💙🇺🇦 @IanBez]

We are helping build a plan to target qualification for @Paris2024. It is the athletes' dream to compete there and represent @Ukraine. We know times are hard at the moment, but if you are able to help in any way it will be greatly appreciated 🙏

[Neil Bezodis @neilbezodis]

This is excellent. For anyone who has read this and is serious about doing meaningful applied research in sprinting, make sure to go through the relevant parts of James’ thesis once it is available…it’s a rare beast full of rigorous science and genuine application 👏

[Stuart McMillan @StuartMcMillan1]

Not sure how long this thread will eventually be — but if you’re into speed and team sports, I highly recommend bookmarking it, and following along

James has done some important work in this area over the last few years — and makes some really key points in this thread so far ⤵️

[James Wild @wildy_jj]

Genuine question. What do you call someone (in a professional sense) whose work sits here?
