@GregLehman @gerdy_mac @TylerCollings3 We’ve just wrapped up a modelling + training study to hopefully answer that, Greg :)

Why 'functional training' is still ill-defined. Look up the history of the word 'upmost'. In 1979 this wasn't a word. It has become one (it gets a gig in most dictionaries) because muppets, who never read, mis-heard utmost and started their own word. 1/n

Seen the new research in Nat Med showing environmental factors explain more variation in mortality risk than genetics (<2%)?
Here’s an easy-to-read summary to share with patients, friends, and clients who need motivation to make lifestyle changes: https://t.co/APrRzxWGMD

Lots of advice to leave collars off when benching. It's ok with light weights, mostly ok with metal plates, especially thin ones but sometimes the BB falls across the face or neck when you fail. Sometimes the plates don't fall off... https://t.co/2kGRDxJHMI

🦵 Can targeting specific muscles really help prevent ACL tears?

🤔 While promising, it's no perfect solution—ACL injury prevention is complex!

We move in 'loops' & the loops aren't quite so easily understood (but they are also less misleading). The loop below is the sort of thing (very rough) that we get with a vertical jump. As you know, the loop involves a SSC which potentiates the concentric forces. But... 1/n

New research on OpenCap validity and reliability compared to optical motion capture from @YuriLimaPT

In this study, we focused on tasks relevant to injury & performance testing.

@TylerCollings3 @ActivateGlutes It’s been a few years @ActivateGlutes but we sometimes saw an EMG “silent period” for hamstrings during eccentric contractions at long lengths. Perhaps a limitation of EMG? Or perhaps passive structures are taking the load here?

[Nicki Win(gate)field Almquist @AlmquistNicki]

Fiber-type distribution is pre-determined and cannot be changed!
That postulate sparked my interest in human physiology back in 2008.
How could this be true if everything else in the body is so plastic and ever-changing?
We, therefore, also assessed this in 111 training studies.

[Matt Bourne @MBourne5]

Multiscale hamstring muscle adaptations following 9 weeks of eccentric training. Awesome work by Andrews et al.

Great stuff from @YuriLimaPT

Ranking gluteal exercises based on EMG amplitudes provides very different interpretation than rankings based on muscle forces! Excellent talk from @TylerCollings3.

[Matt Bourne @MBourne5]

@ActivateGlutes Good point, Tony. Here is a good example of that from an elite sprinter who subsequently won a national 100m title. Very significant ST hypertrophy (shown in yellow)! Remarkable how much it grows considering its architecture…

[Matt Bourne @MBourne5]

Nice visualisation of the hamstrings thanks to @messerd008. Note the variability in CSA of each muscle belly down the thigh. Perhaps why surface EMG of medial and lateral compartments gives such variable results?
