Welcoming the community at the Grand Opening of the Exercise & Nutritional Health Institute @UHClearLake. Excited to affect positive change in the #health of our community.

Exciting details on the Spaceflight Summit #SHOP23 hosted a @UHClearLake and sponsored by @KBRincorperated. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (@NSCA ) approved 1.2 CEU(s) in category A for certified individuals attending this event.https://t.co/qmo95pnObA

Coming soon - Details on the Spaceflight Human Optimization and Performance Summit-2023 (#SHOP23). This KBR sponsored event will bring global leaders to @UHClearLake to discuss the science and practice of high performance training for the Moon and Mars! https://t.co/qmo95pnObA

The article is almost 20-years old; we need to get over the fear of lifting heavy and fast with older individuals. Use reason, progress at slower rates, lower volume allow more recovery, and manage joint stress. Strength & power are critical factors for QOL! #EBP #WinLife

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Article by Newton et al. demonstrating the safety and efficacy of heavy and high intentional velocity strength training in young and older men for the development of strength and power. Results demonstrate meaningful improvements in both groups! https://t.co/Gt01qCU90f

The key to weight loss in obesity is not to control the “caloric scale” – the key is to control hormones and inflammation through dietary choices – this is why a low carb diet is so effective in promoting weight loss in obesity. #Lowcarb #Obesity #MetabolicSyndrome #ketogenicdiet

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Obesity leads to hormonal dysregulation and chronic systemic inflammation resulting from cellular signaling and feedback mechanisms arising from the adipocyte. In such case, calories in vs. calories out is far too simplistic and inappropriate to describe weight loss in obesity.

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Outstanding article describing the complex physiology of an adipocyte. Contrary to classic thought, an adipocyte is SO much more than a storage cell for lipid droplets.

Should @CDCgov & @hcphtx consistent messaging to wash hands, wear a mask, and socially distance be amended to include and “find ways to remain physically active in safe environments; outdoor spaces or other well ventilated indoor spaces?” @UHClearLake #COVID19 #obesity #diabetes

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Adherence to public health measures is diminishing #COVID19 cases; they are absolutely necessary, but the unintended consequences: people are more sedentary, physically and socially isolated, and we are likely feeding an existing pandemic of metabolic disease. @UHClearLake

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Great piece from @FOX26Houston news featuring Olympia Watts and her work in @MoveScienceUHCL. The future is bright with compassionate, talented, and innovative professional like Olympia @UHClearLake https://t.co/G2Ex38v7JV

After a base of strength is developed, the challenge is to find creative and safe techniques to implement higher velocity training in populations that may experience losses in bone with aging, chronic disease, etc. #weightlifting #power #strength #humanathlete #velocity

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Although the effect size is small, this paper by Stengel et al. demonstrates that lighter weights lifted at higher velocity may be more effective at maintaining BMD in post-menopausal women than heavier loads. https://t.co/0UNgsRHYjq

[UHCL - Health & Human Performance Institute @MoveScienceUHCL]

Bone mineral density (BMD) improvements with exercise are influenced by a number of factors including magnitude of loading, direction of loading, rate of loading, and to a lesser extent volume. #weightlifting #power #strength #humanathlete #velocity

HHPI is back on twitter with the goal of communicating legitimate exercise, nutrition, and rehab science that benefits the health and performance of the human athlete. #EBP #Science #Health #Impact

@TugboatTaylor15 Way to go, Joseph! It was a pleasure having you; stay in touch.

@TugboatTaylor15 @NSCA Great job, Joseph!

Gunnar Borg, inventor of the highly used Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale, passed away Feb. 2nd. Today he is honoured by his family with this lovely token of appreciation for his achievements #exercise #health #physiology @japplphysiol @DrMJoyner @JPhysiol @EIMnews

@jengates @FatEmperor @tednaiman That IS a nice camera, Ivor! I wish you'd told me more about it. Enjoyed seeing both of you guys in Houston @ENHI_UHCL and @LowCarbHouston.
