We’re pleased to share the latest round of our Springboard programme 👏
This year we're supporting 55 early career researchers across the UK whose bold ideas have the potential to save lives, investing £6.7M in discovery-driven health research 💡

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
The final study from my PhD 🎓
Using high-density EMG, we show that motor unit behaviour changes during recovery from damaging eccentric exercise and contributes to the repeated bout effect, without accompanying changes in reticulospinal drive in the TA.
Latest paper 🚨 During fatiguing isometric contractions with BFR, neuromuscular fatigue and pain increase. Lower-threshold motor units reduce firing, while higher-threshold motor units increase firing and are recruited at lower forces. An acute neural strategy to maintain force?
🧑🔬 NEW PhD scholarship available in my lab to investigate:
"Mitochondrial Adaptations to Exercise" 🚴
🗓️ Applications close: 14 September 2025 ;
✅ Eligibility: Open to Australian & International students

Will be watching this a lot over the next few days.
England’s first football trophy to be won at an overseas tournament - the Lionesses have broken so many boundaries.
What an exciting #ecss2025 congress & chance to connect!
I shared data on high-load/BFR training, highlighting the key role of mechanical tension in neuromuscular adaptation - plus potential sex-specific differences.
Big thanks to @goodall_stuart & the ECSS mentoring programme
A nice team photo of all attendees from NU, some photoshopped in thanks to @JustinAndrushko 🤣. A great week had by all, brilliant to share our work across a range of disciplines #ECSS2025#wearesportscience@NUSportEx
🎯New Publication Alert!🎯
Excited to share that our latest study with @goodall_stuart “Sex differences in energy intake, sweat rate, and electrolyte loss among world-class archers during competition” has just been published! @NUSportEx https://t.co/pZGDM5ULSq
