Low back injury risk in deadlifting is not explained by spinal posture alone. A more precise framework integrates load management, movement variability, dynamic trunk control, and individual adaptation. https://t.co/QVbR6wz8Gw

In our latest podcast episode, @ChrisHughen sat down with Jose Afonso to discuss the role of warm-ups in injury prevention.

We dive into the efficacy of warm-ups, the utility of injury prevention programs like the FIFA 11+, absolute vs. relative risk, questioning the use of cool-downs, and much more.

@tim_roozendaal If you do heavy calf raises you will strengthen the feet. Both extrinsic and intrinsic foot muscles stiffen the foot. Especially if you are loading through your toes

Just a reminder that the underpinnings of the Lower Crossed Syndrome were disproven 30 years ago and nothing has changed about this in 3 decades

p.s. your Glutes are firing too

The official journal of the Canadian Paediatric Society has just acknowledged that more than 100 of its case reports are fabricated. Incredible reporting from @RetractionWatch: https://t.co/ErcnEw60S6

Our last study available in @GeroScienceAGE!

We provide reference values for common physical function tests in +7000 English adults (from 50 to +85 years), including handgrip, gait speed, chair stand and balance.

Kudos to @Jozo_Grgic for leading this.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Does Not Improve Pain or Function in Patients With Lateral Epicondylitis as Compared With Placebo: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials https://t.co/RLgCySxPyv.

This consensus says limited WB and ROM to 90 for 6 weeks after isolated meniscus repairs and repairs with an ACL reconstruction. https://t.co/2efxhp16M3

Can someone please send me the research that shows passive motion past 90 leads to higher retear rates?

I’ll be waiting because there must be substantial evidence if this consensus continues to make these recommendations.

Systematic review found that dry cupping for treating musculoskeletal pain compared to placebo is very uncertain.

On a professional and personal note, cupping is a pseudoscience. I would not expect high-quality studies to alter that conclusion. Let us not promote pseudoscience, folks. Put the cups down.
