Sport Scientists bitching about bad #OlympicGames commentators knowledge of sport science...

Let's apply the same logic when you create "novel statistical methods" or pontificate about statistics when you've had 3 or less classes on the topic your entire life.

Can we use Generative AI to support the clinician through training and in the real world? @QMULSportExMed @QMUL @Stuart_Miller @ManuAngioi @DrDylanM

It is 2024 and it is still common practice in the medical literature to put a bunch of covariates in a regression model for some bad health outcome and declare the significant associations as "risk factors" that people should worry about. Pseudo science

[Richard Riley (R²) @Richard_D_Riley]

Personal reflection: "Clinical prediction models & the multiverse of madness"

Thanks to @BMCMedicine for 'getting this'

Many reviewers/Eds pushed for writing style & tone changes

This thread delves into this & why we stuck to our original vision

@dsquintana I still don't think this really addresses the recommendations by Cohen and the weakness of using the general small/med/large thresholds. It assumes that the spread of ES in the literature are meaningful as small/med/large... they might all be small in terms of meaningfulness.

[Richard Riley (R²) @Richard_D_Riley]

We used to call this prognostic factor research

Now being sold as data-driven, deep learning, AI, advanced covariate adjustment etc

[Achilles Tendons @Seth0Neill]

Really interesting paper on Achilles rotation and impact on tendon strain -
More rotation impacts tendon strain

This is the 3rd time this colleague gets this on their payslip, for withholding 13 scripts. Management threatens 2 more payslips like this.

MAB is over, taking this money can't shorten it.
This is not proportionate but punitive; not for the sake of students but to punish staff.

[Anthony Blazevich @TonyBlazevich]

Just a reminder for anyone measuring ultrasound echo intensity (EI) as an indicator of 'muscle quality' or adiposity - fascicle angles affect the sound echo intensity, so any pennation changes with ageing, exercise training or disuse will influence EI...https://t.co/kUtt6Vq4UU

[Maarten van Smeden @MaartenvSmeden]

The word *risk factor* is a risk factor for a completely uninformative data analysis

[Matt Tenan is Mostly on LinkedIn These Days @TenanATC]

In Sports Medicine and Sport Science, we continue to ask the "wrong questions" and interpret those nonsense "answers" in ways that don't make sense.

You often don't care if there is a relationship between X and Y. You want to know if changing X causes a change in Y.

Congratulations to all our iBsc 2022-23 Sports Ex & Med students!! Some great research outputs shared throughout two presentation days @QMULSportExMed @QMULBartsTheLon #sportsmedicine #iBSc

[Stuart Miller @Stuart_Miller]

This weekend I'm taking on Endure 24 solo.
Like when I ran the marathon a few years back, I want to take this opportunity to get you thinking about all things mental health, and if you are able to (and want to) @Rethink_ is a great charity to donate to.

[Dr Simon Lack @simonthephysio]

Great job @q8mpt really doing a deep dive in to possible local mechanisms for treatment effects.

[Maarten van Smeden @MaartenvSmeden]

Put a bunch of covariates you happen to have measured in a regression model to predict an outcome and claim it's a very "explainable" model because you have multivariable regression coefficients to look at

[Maarten van Smeden @MaartenvSmeden]

Mandatory periodic reminder to this work of art

[Rethink Mental Illness @Rethink_]

We look forward to a world that prioritises mental health for 52 weeks a year, not just one.

[Brad Neal @DrBradNeal]

Our new paper in @FrontSportsAL is now available.

We observed how a 2-week neuromuscular exercise programme affected biopsychosocial measures in people with PFP.

Unlike what has been observed in healthy populations, little changed in this cohort.
