@leondiris @HPALS_ You legend! Very interesting research and excited to see what's to come!

Ps I loved the "but coach, what does this all mean?" 😂😂🙌

Cost-Benefit Recovery Quadrant

Re-sharing to go with my previous framework (the S.H.I.T. one!).

Shared a bit of my journey to find a sports watch...⌚️🤔

Tracking physical activity and exercise is becoming more and more popular. To do so, you’ve likely sought a device that can track your activity. But how do you know which device to get?

@BenjiNaesen Possible middle ground:

Monitor but don't give live feedback during the race to either the rider or team car.

That way there is more emphasis on "instinct" while also being able to monitor loads to support rider well-being.

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

So-called fitness influencers and experts are posting videos of themselves jumping into freezing water as a sign of discipline or morality and bragging about how they cut out coffee.

It's mainly there to make you feel like are not enough.

Do what you can to laugh at it.

If you're a cyclist in the Gauteng area please consider helping out!

[Jeroen Swart @JeroenSwart]

Hey everyone. We really need subjects to finish this important research. Please consider getting involved!

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

The best athletes on the planet, where HIIT is specific training (i.e. middle distance runners) seldom do more than 1 high-intensity interval workout per week during their most intense training phase

So why does the average Joe think they need/can handle 1 or more HIIT per week?

[Benji Naesen @BenjiNaesen]

Sportsmanship in 2023 is truly amazing, with Ilan van WIlder celebrating Magnus Cort's victory like it was his own. 🥹

Truly an amazingly kind individual, Van WIlder. 👏 #VAlgarve23

[Tim Klein @klein_tim98]

Another goodie from @stevemagness 👌

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

When progress seems slow and tough, that's often a sing you are on the right track.

Skills come from struggle.

When something feels too easy, it's often a sign we aren't learning and growing.

[Tim Klein @klein_tim98]

It can be as simple as that.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

One of the best things you can do for you mental and physical health: Move.

Don't over complicate it.

Walk, jog, cycle, lift weights, whatever it is.

Don't get caught up in the details until you are moving regularly.

Scientific and social theories help us understand human behaviour in relation to exercise adherence. We unpack three psychological theories to better understand the science behind the motivation and incentive to exercise.

Another interesting one from the GRIT Team! Bringing evidence-based info to the weight loss discussion (where it is really needed).

[SSISA @Sportscience_sa]

The topic of loosing weight may seem like a simple science of “calories in vs calories out”, but it is way more complex than you think. Despite the years of extensive research there are many questions that remain up for debate. Here we discuss them: https://t.co/2ui3wH6I2H

The start of a new year often brings with it a strong motivation to make the changes we’ve been wanting to make to better ourselves in one way or another. We report evidence-based health beahiour tips for new years resolutions in our latest blog article: https://t.co/iBhCDHzIk3

[Tim Klein @klein_tim98]

Referencing one's argument tends to make it more believable but does it make it right? I got to have a look at one of probably many examples of where it doesn't.

In Tuesday’s blog article https://t.co/Jv3PkD961X, we mentioned critical speed. Kipchoge’s high critical speed and his ability to increase his speed in the final phase of a marathon to just below that, seems to be a differentiating factor to his success. @AndrewBosch4 @HPALS__

[SSISA @Sportscience_sa]

There are three factors used independently and together to measure running performance but the best measure of performance is still a simple time trial or a race as this type of test simulates the real world application of all three factors.

No Human is Limited.

Eliud Kipchoge has once again proven his mantra of “No Human is Limited” and set the running world alight by breaking his own world record, at the 2022 Berlin Marathon. A/Prof Andrew Bosch comments. Read more here: https://t.co/zKTHDKVqfw
