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?

The Rathmines Initiative has asked @eamonryan to look at how some of the under used green open space in Rathmines can be opened to the public at a time when we are trying to encourage outdoor activity. Read more at @DublinInquirer https://t.co/nQZs0k3aV4

Rare that a paper comes along with a number (69%; 47-91) that really shakes up the field. We knew it was decent (10-20%?) but 69 is massive! Too high to be true? https://t.co/ZiEPLyluPn FREE @karinmgnssn @dr_englund @clare_ardern @czuppons @chadcookpt

I cannot believe an experienced politician, like Phil Hogan, didn't realise he could claim unvouched mileage in Ireland and didn't need to actually drive them.... #golfgate

@VodafoneIreland Broadband due to be connected today. Still have not received modem and item not found on An Post tracking. Please advise on when I will get modem as working from home

[Dominic Hoban Physio @domhoban]

@OnlinePhysios Works very well. I get patients to do ex's, then video me doing them, allowing me to add in cues that worked for them when they did them, and dosage. Far more personalised than any ex program software

[Dominic Hoban Physio @domhoban]

@gregthephysio @OnlinePhysios I found, and others I know had similar experiences, phone consultation lose non verbal cues and lead to more closed end answers from patients, making assessment more time consuming and tiring. Also health implications of inactivity with sitting static at phone/PC over day

[Dominic Hoban Physio @domhoban]

Thanks for the in depth analysis. The 'children don't transmit' idea seemed to take root from what seemed to be early observational work, and hasn't been further investigated.

[Dr Zoë Hyde @DrZoeHyde]

1. Updated thread on children and #COVID19, summarising the latest research.

Summary: schools can only reopen safely if community transmission is low, otherwise outbreaks will occur.

Fantastic that this is progressing so we'll. Did a stretch between Mullingar and Athlone last year, a great surface

Am sure some will point out problems with app etc, but much prefer to focus on positives. Downloading has the potential to protect the health of yourself and others, find me another app that can do that
