Our systematic review and meta-analysis, published today in @BMJOpenSEM is the first to explore injury and illness patterns across all competitive cycling disciplines.

🔍 Key findings 👇🏼 🧵

Knowledge is power, this is especially relevant in endurance sport
If you are into ultras or interested in doing one in the future then please consider our symposium in November.
The speaker lineup is stellar (myself included 😉) and the food sounds ace!

Great insights and breakdown in the @letour TT as usual from @xavierdisley

[B Xavier Disley, PhD @xavierdisley]

It's nearly time for the first TT at @LeTour and Stage 5 takes the peloton from Caen, back to Caen, over 33km and just 200m elevation, making it one of the faster, TTs we'll see in Grand Tours recently.

Read on below for what to expect 👇

I totally agree @StephenSeiler For me this brought together a number of aspects of the adaptative processes and helped me understand how they fitted together and complimented each other. Most importantly, I think it made sense of what we see in practice with athletes. Great job!

Very happy to share with you this article which was produced by a panel of bikefitting experts in order to propose a consensus regarding bicycle set-up dimensions and recommendations for collecting cycling-related kinematic data. Happy reading!

@BiniRico @carragher_paul @seanhusbandtri @CyclingIreland @sportireland @tcddublin @CiaranSimms @FionaWilsonf @FrankNugent10 @BiniRico, apologies for any mis-citations. Could you point out where on DM? We cited 8 of your first author publications multiple times so there could have been an error despite careful checking and rechecking! It was a big piece of work.

[Barney Wainwright @bgwainwright]

@BiniRico @carragher_paul @seanhusbandtri @CyclingIreland @sportireland @tcddublin @CiaranSimms @FionaWilsonf @FrankNugent10 Many thanks @BiniRico Agree, overall evidence is poor due to the huge variety of methods and participant types, but hopefully this review describes how all aspects of body position are interrelated. Little can be changed in isolation! Position, power and speed are interdependent.

[sean husband @seanhusbandtri]

Happy to share the first publication of my PhD project. A big thank you to all authors involved. We provide an overview of cycling positional research and examine gaps for future research.

[Barney Wainwright @bgwainwright]

A very informative and useful paper framing and describing the appropriate use of HIIT within the wider training landscape. Recommended reading for endurance coaches!
