@hjluks Wishing you a speedy recovery Howard!

@hjluks Great insight into recognizing the pt’s premorbidities when doing your differential &
modifying/adjusting the intervention, Howard!

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@hjluks Great insights, Howard!

@doctorinigo It looks like Eva Boyd (Little Eva) was ahead of her time in recognizing the lower extremities’ contribution to metabolic fitness when she released the hit single “Locomotion” in 1962

Very proud of our team of dedicated Spinal Cord Damage Research Center research coordinators & investigators, NYIT DPT students, & James J Peters VA MC rehab physicians for getting the findings of our Small Projects in Rehabilitation Research (SPiRE) award, published in ARRCT!

@williamwallace Guess I’m thinking of Zone 2 in the 5-Zone model, which I’m more familiar with

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@williamwallace Nice chart aligning the different terminology for continuous exercise intensity!
The top figure shows Zone 2 extending into a RPE of 16-17/20 & a HRmax of 85%. At those intensities, you’re probably producing lactate & no longer primarily in fat metabolism

@hjluks Thanks!
I’ll keep at it & use those numbers to inspire me:)

@hjluks 175-200 watts while keeping HR <130 bpm is pretty damn good, Howard!
70% of my HRmax is 125 (~Z2) & I can hold ~150watts on a trainer, while staying <125. But, if I start pushing 175-185 watts, my HR is climbing into the mid 130s

@Paddy_Barrett So, only .5 cm greater LVDD in the elite athlete with almost 30 ml/kg/min greater VO2 max than a sedentary control? I would have thought the difference in LVDD would have been even greater since SV is the main contributor to CO as max HRs would be similar. Maybe improved EF?

@hjluks Well said, Howard!

@mou55981652 Why isn’t Jaoa Almeida on your wish list? I thought Almeida looked very strong in the tour and a great asset for Tadej as his trusted lieutenant. Much like Mateo is for Jonas

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@Tooth_Chipper @DavidBroderDO Very funny:))

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@hjluks Great points on areas to address for managing OA, Howard!

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@tomdanielson What about choosing your optimal climbing cadence?

[jhandrak @jhandrak]

@tomdanielson Tom, how about climbing metrics, e.g. watts, watts/kg, VAM, sustainable HR/power climbing zones, FTP/threshold power, VO2 max, etc?
Which are the best predictors of climbing performance and most meaningful to focus on when training?
