@ProfTimNoakes Amazed yet again at your inability to understand requirements for let’s say any endurance athlete vs a footballer - have you seen how he plays? Walks 80% of the game- of course he doesn’t need constant CHO. Wasn’t he also drinking Gatorade last night Tim?

The govt's "Better Health: Rewards" scheme, paying people in vouchers for hitting step/diet goals is being rolled out nationally based on a failed Wolverhampton pilot from 2023 dressed up as a win by politicians 🧵

NHS to reward people who walk 30 minutes a day https://t.co/UBLdkd7GEd

Walking is great/accessible, don't get me wrong. Relying on it solely isn't enough. Health adaptations occur with varied frequencies and intensity. Yes, 7,000+ steps can cut mortality risk by ~47% but that's vs near-total inactivity. Risk keeps falling the more you can do!

Education for all in required of how exercise benefits people, and what terms like intensity and volume mean, fostering physical literacy at an earlier age. Finding activity people enjoy and stick too long term has to be priority, not a strategy thought up in a cabinet meeting.

Unfortunately no real photo of me giving my plenary lecture “The False Fitness Phenotype” @NIAAResearch in Birmingham last week, lucky AI me does a pretty good job…! Anyone manage to get a real one? 😒

The survey on the role of Exercise Physiologists is still open for responses.

EP's are playing an increasing role in clinical care, particularly in Prehabilitation and CPET, yet pathways into these roles remain variable.

Closes: 29 October 2025
