The evidence continues to roll in from across the UK. Water privatisation has been a complete failure.

I had a great time chatting with Brian’s Run Pod about the importance of sports bras. Episode 1 is available now! Check it out 💫 @UOP_RGBH

With all of the curve sprinting in sports performance discussions we need to reboot the definition and how we evaluate it.

The current space/time model is stuck in 1990s best practices.

You must upgrade your thinking to 3D concepts, not photo sequences with running skeletons.

@HarryRW_ Maybe one day🤞

I wonder if I retweet this any of my students will pick up on it being a good paper to include in their assessment 😂

[Karl Zelik @KarlZelik]

Compared with controls, runners who decreased vertical GRF impacts had ~75% lower occurrence of injuries to the hip, knee and thigh, but had 10X higher occurrence of calf and Achilles injuries (Chan et al., 2018)

📢Calling Referee Development Officers/Managers from outside the UK 📢

I'm looking for RDOs/RDMs (or equivalent) to provide insight on mental health support for grassroots football referees in their region.

@KieranAustin95 @PROTECHTPro @Sensors_MDPI @HEADLab_ICL Definitely, I'll bet its hard to replicate every random occurrence that could happen on-field!

[Jan Figueroa 🇵🇷 @janfigueroa07]

The track and field world gonna love this

[JonWhite @Jon_White2]

Really nice piece of work here! That inside limb ankle eversion is giving me anxiety 😂

[Science of Multi-Directional Speed @sciofmultispeed]

Postures of each limb during curvilinear running🏃‍♂️

An inward whole-body lean enables the foot placement to be more lateral to the centre of mass, generating medially directed forces and facilitating the directional change with each footfall↩️

@KieranAustin95 @PROTECHTPro @Sensors_MDPI @HEADLab_ICL Great work Kieran! And what lovely figures. Without reading it yet how might you go about on-field validations?

[Rachel Mason @Rchlxmsn]

📢 Participants wanted for online focus group 📢
Runners and Practitioners needed to discuss perceptions of wearable technology for running.

I was less annoyed when it appeared to be about cost.. we've all looked at something this year and thought I can't afford that but to actively choose not to send athletes who will gain experience (probably overachieve in the process) and further grow the sport is something else..
