Ummm.... This study seems to show that the shoe-stiffening carbon plates make elite distance runners faster, but either doesn't help or may even decrease running economy in the recreational runners! https://t.co/F7CiQbDyfy

This research paper on level of activity post knee replacement and risk of revision surgery shows higher levels of physical activity do NOT wear out knee replacements faster! It may even be beneficial! https://t.co/FhbRMe5Ki8

[The Endurance Physio @theEndurancePT]

Lots of athletes when injured ask me what they can do to speed up the healing process.

The truth is there’s not much we can do to speed up healing.

Nature takes care of the majority of it.

New study in @Nature evaluated 250 treatments for Alzheimer's—with a particular focus on what interventions, including meds, could change gene expression to theoretically treat the disease.

The top result, by far: exercise.

An interesting read on the role of macrophages on tendinopathy and tendon healing. The M1 macrophage has a pro inflammatory action and is present in the early days of a tendon injury. The M2 macrophage helps resolve inflammation and rebuild the tendon.

Barefoot running doesn't quite have the buzz of 10 years ago, but you still see some barefoot runners in Sheffield. This latest study shows it does increase the demand on your tendons and muscles - whether this is good or bad is another matter! https://t.co/SrMKzEJuZC

Nice thread on tests to idenitify cause of hip and groin pain.

[James Noake @DrJN_SportsMed]

I get asked about the utility of hip & groin tests all the time

The short answer is there's a big overlap across clinical tests & key pain drivers - no test is particularly specific; some are sensitive

This is my take based on clinical experience - opinions welcome
