NEW POSITION | Associate Professor in Clinical Exercise Physiology
Come join our team as an Assoc Prof & Course Director of new Clinical Exercise Physiology program @UTS. Require right to work in Australia
Location: Moore Park, Sydney
See: https://t.co/6HLVbh1NXq
Closes: Aug 26
@LisaDeBruine @elborgo9 Good initiative. I write ineffective code, but I am not embarrassed by it. I know enough to get by and sufficiently little to not have a misplaced sense of expertise. If I were to think about publishing more code these resources will come in handy.
Come and join a great Exercise Science team at the School of Behavioural and Health Sciences, ACU Brisbane! 👉 Check out this job at Australian Catholic University: Lecturer in Exercise Science https://t.co/BaLgephdx1
@AlanDunton@singh_harjiv@Robertson_SJ Of course… I agree and have used it as such before. But of course we are not recommending a new drug treatment or a new falls prevention program in older people without sound evidence supporting it either. So why would this be any different. But I get what you’re saying.
@AlanDunton@singh_harjiv@Robertson_SJ Hi Alan. Thanks. I’m aware. Yet this is a conceptual piece. As far as I’m aware the (hard) empirical evidence to support the implementation of this conceptual framework has yet to be collected?
@singh_harjiv Additionally, I am not sure Guadagnoli and Lee (2004) (fig reference) I fended it as such either. Why would we consider task difficulties on either side of the challenge point to have higher or lower skill load? This is about task difficulty.
@singh_harjiv Manipulating task difficulty is potentially useful for practice design. However, there is no hard empirical evidence that ‘skill load’ can be and should be monitored using optimal challenge point % and encouraging it is likely premature.
@iamsandrovella But multiple players competing within one team to be the best could bring about even better performances in those players? I follow your reasoning I just don’t know if it’s that straightforward.
To anyone out there: What do you think is central to good team (any type of team) performance? Cooperation or competition? Definitions in 🧵. Would be great to get perspectives from all fields so please state your field when responding. Thanks for sharing among others.
If you happen to know of research that studies the contribution of competition and cooperation in team performance, I’d love to hear from you. Please DM, email or respond.
Competition = Everyone aims to thrive individually because individual performance comes first, if that also happens to help achieve the collective’s aim, then great) 3/3
@DhruvSeshadri Sounds good. In our area, narrative reviews can be interesting, but the risk of systematic bias (eg storytelling) is too high. But it can have a place (eg narrative review by absolute expert in the area)
I would love to hear what others are doing in this space, especially those outside of sport and exercise. Do you feel you have the freedom to de-emphasise publication volume as a supervisor? As always, DM or email with follow-ups that are personal. 9/9
Lately, under the influence of @francoimpell I have made a huge shift in the supervision of projects of new PhD students, here is what has changed. This may be relevant for those new to, or unfamiliar with, research student supervision. 1/9
I cannot predict the future, but the arms race for publication volume in early career researchers is not one my students can win. So I need to help aspiring academics develop skills that distinguish them from their peers. Being better researchers overall could be 1 of those. 8/9
