@spikesonly @Scott_Damman @GymAware During a squat, velocity (left y-axis) follows an n-shaped curve when moving from the Bottom Position (left) to the Top Position (right). The underlying mechanism reveals distinct acceleration and deceleration phases (right y-axis). Does that help?

I have been using this slide for >5 years to explain the nutritional approach we have been researching last years (and we still keep doing it).

- The core of it all is metabolism.
- The goal: To make athletes´ careers sustainable.

Sometimes it has been misunderstood.

If you want to increase power in the gym, what load/velocity should you use for training? Optimal power load (specificity) or alternate high velocity with high load (cause P = F x v). If the latter, does the load-velocity curve tell you which one to focus on?

We live in a world where running a half-marathon in 4h40 is fine and inspiring, while deadlifting with the slightest round back is dangerous and will destroy your spine🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Running cadence – at first I thought it was unimportant. But after reading 37 scientific papers about it, my opinion changed.

Use the ideal running cadence CALCULATOR and learn all the facts and practical tips 👇

@SlimmerPodcast @gheijkoop @JvTeeffelen @Sportarts Rekken en strekken voor dwazen en gekken 😜. Ik ben er overigens zelf ook zo een.

Here you can see an excellent CORE exercise. There is also a pic of a swiss ball sideplank🏋🏼‍♀️💥https://t.co/3Q1TMFODx9

My rational guess is NO: muscle glycogen is more efficient and will not run empty. My gut feeling says YES, just because.

[Loek Vossen @loekvossen]

Do blood glucose levels matter in a 20 min effort, when fully (glycogen) recovered? @Jeukendrup @supersapiensinc

[Loek Vossen @loekvossen]

@LBlijboom kloppen deze getallen wel? “Ter vergelijking: bij vrouwen in de leeftijd tussen 21 en 49 jaar schommelt die waarde tussen 5.7 en 26.1 nanomol.” Lijken op mannen waardes.

The spectacular #Triathlon Team Mixed Relay will make its #Olympic debut. I asked exercise physiologist at Triatlon Vlaanderen, Reinout Van Schuylenbergh, PhD, to explain the event and the physiological demands of the athlete. Read our interview here!

How can @WoutvanAert win both 5-6h Tour de France stages and 60 minute cyclocross races? I wrote an article about it for @INSCYD. Read it here 🚀
