Now that all my chapters from my PhD have been published, I would like to share some insights about this journey, provide background and relevant details from each chapter that I think will be useful for practitioners and researchers working with young female athletes #research

@theliverdoc that said with time being a constraint i would rather have more people doing some resistance training rather than mindlessly chasing steps after a certain point.

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@theliverdoc Btw 10k steps was a japanese marketing strategy but several studies have been done to follow it up. Upper limit doesn’t have empirical evidence to support
across population.

@WSWayland Debating over gym based stuff for sprinting is of very little importance unfortunately

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@WSWayland Sprinting is better for sprinting, rest all we do in gym is assisting. Context matters, for an individual who needs to be exposed in long muscle length for the hamstring, single leg RDL is good for someone who needs isolation for the gluteal hip thrust/raise variation can help.

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@GregLehman I also feel hip dominant vs knee dominant is a very generalised way of looking not acknowledging movement variability, so any exercise can be both hip and knee dominant depending how it is executed

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@GregLehman I think the only thing you get more is with grip involved a lot of upper body at play too. However, I don’t think any lift would have generalised athletic transfer as such, it would depend on the task - sprinting vs. jumping etc. lot of the so called transfer is debatable

@mboyle1959 Coach is no trap bar deadlift for adults new in your space? Would like to know why ?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@mackinprof @TheilGates @naiarademnitz @KarlogKaroline @boraxbekk @UCPH_health Also both groups matched for supervision frequency, currently 1 vs. 3. Supervision can play a key role with regards to motivation and security for the said population.

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@mackinprof @TheilGates @naiarademnitz @KarlogKaroline @boraxbekk @UCPH_health Would have been interesting if moderate group didn’t use resistance bands but instead used matched moderate intensity using machines with relatively longer time under tension, thoughts?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@pbasilstrength Specific athletes with good lever to trunk ratio who are into contact sports (back squat being traditional norm/test) like to back squat in my experience

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@hjluks Thanks for the post, any specific characteristics that prevention programs should have ?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@STRONGERwithAGE @ANZSSFR @SalfordHMR @SalfordPH @UNDecadeAgeing @HealthyAgeingUK @WHOccPAPH @ACSMNews @GMMoving @MarieHMurphy @nanettemutrie Challenging for sure but IMHO depending on the population and based on the environment simple changes can be made. For example commuting can be a challenge for some, taking the program to them (residential care facilities)

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@mboyle1959 @justin_gosselin Adapting to task/s ,environment/s and internal inhibition/s ?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@StrengthDebates Can we say Strength training in the gym is anatomy, need and competency specific and less sports specific ?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@CoachKevinCarr Relying on training may not be enough. I think at population level free living physical activity (FLPA) and non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) key, thoughts ?

[Kaushik Talukdar @DocKaush]

@pbasilstrength @AndreaPintore5 Yes, there are many ways to be explosive without relying on oly lifts. I feel it becomes the old hammer and nail analogy for many who cannot see beyond oly lifts. Just a note I am not against oly lifts - context matters.

@ThisThat14456 It might be better if her bowling action doesn’t remind you of anyone, bowlers who make it to higher level have their own unique style, I must say she has a very smooth run up and jump- best wishes
