❓Where does Thomas Frank rank for value extraction?

📈 Brentford: 1.32 pts/game vs 0.79 expected on their wage bill (+0.53 ppg - best in PL).

🔝 Only Pochettino at Spurs matched Frank’s longevity among top 10 overperformers.

👉 Consistency + outperformance.

Head acceleration event (HAE) exposure in professional men’s rugby league:
📉Fewer HAEs per player match in rugby league compared to union
📉HAEs less likely in rugby league tackles compared to union
📈Individuals with elevated HAE values

"By the time that you watch this I will no longer be here"

We wanted to share Rob Burrow's poignant final message with you, recorded before his death for a special BBC documentary 'There's only one Rob Burrow'.

The Rugby League legend will never, ever be forgotten ❤️

[Dr Alan Burton @ab__coaching]

Absolutely devastated. A true champion on and off the field, and great bloke.

Rob fought MND with such courage and his legacy will inspire us every day 💙💛

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults.

The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

Clearly a mixed response to these recommendations. This was expected - in a world where new evidence emerges, surely change is needed? Also been interesting to see the general positive responses, by those who have been part of the broader discussions. Here's some rational (1);

#OnThisDay 1975: Pioneering sports scientist Dr Vaughan Thomas welcomed the cameras into his Sports Science honours degree - the first in the world - at Liverpool Polytechnic.

In this clip, he puts a student through his standard, absolutely gruelling physical exercise regimen.

[James McCormack @Flawless_Physio]

Progressive daily hopping exercise improves running economy in amateur runners: a randomized and controlled trial: 2023

🔍 Study Overview:

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️34 amateur runners (Age: 29 ± 7 years, comprising 27 males).

📆 Over 6 weeks, the exercise group did 5 minutes ⏰ of double-legged hopping daily.

The hopping bouts lasted 10 seconds each ⏳, with the number of bouts gradually increasing and rest periods shortening.📈

📊 RE, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) 🌬️, and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) 🔄 were measured at three 🏃‍♂️ running speeds before and after the intervention.

🔍 Findings:

1️⃣ 6 weeks of daily hopping exercise can enhance running economy at higher speeds (12 and 14 km/h) without affecting maximal aerobic capacity.

2️⃣ The benefits are pronounced even when the hopping regimen is kept simple and done for only 5 minutes daily.

3️⃣ No reported injuries or side effects from this hopping exercise protocol.👍

🔍 This aligns with earlier research that plyometrics, like hopping, can boost running performance, especially at greater speeds.

🧐 One point of discussion is what's driving these changes. Tendon stiffness, metabolic factors, or alterations in running mechanics?

Worth of Retweet: Concurrent Strength+Endurance Training led to blunted lower-body S in males not in females. CSET led to impaired gains in VO2max in untrained not in trained athletes. Note inter-individual differences to optimize CSET @JYUBiolPA #JYUnique
