Really cool to see my interview with @rich_blagrove featured in Runner's World this week 🤩

Thanks for sharing @RWPearson

@AmandxAvila

I just finished reading your excellent review:

Current Controversies in Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy

https://t.co/t5AkEP4xAU

Would you be interested in coming on my podcast to talk about this?

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

Has anyone heard of "cartiheal"?

Is there any good research on it?

Depleting your glycogen stores through LCHF diet doesn't reduce your ability to use carbs on the run. However, depleting them through low caloric intake does...

@AdamMeakins Cool, thanks 👍

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@AdamMeakins Are these benefits as compared to being inactive?

I mean, do kids benefit from strength training specifically- over and above general play and sport?

Is sport enough or do they need resistance training also - is what I’m trying to ask in an imprecise way…

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

Excellent episode on loading rates in runners from @ptinquest

@GregLehman That’s what I was thinking. Most economical technique may be different in the fatigued state vs fresh. Meaning that trying to “keep your technique” is a waste of energy. Which is what it feels like at the time.

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

Hey @GregLehman, if it’s more efficient to flex over, wouldn’t elite runners have discovered that by trial and error and be afforded a competitive advantage? Then do it from the start line?

Why do (most) elite distance runners “look” so graceful?

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@GregLehman …with upright posture, high cadence, less over-stride? (most of them anyway)

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@GregLehman I don’t. I’m wondering why I run so differently at the end of a marathon (slouch forward, lower cadence, more overstride).Then I try and “keep my form” but it feels harder. So why don’t I run like that the whole way? And if that is more efficient, why do I see elites running 1/2

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@PeteOSullivanPT Shouldn’t we stick to our subject matter expertise? I know almost nothing about climate change, energy security, pollution etc. and how they relate to economic development beyond a very basic understanding

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@AdamMeakins But no more than once a week, and 2-3 sessions max? 🤔

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@Jeukendrup This article seems to focus on the isolated negative effects. Focusing mostly on physiological responses. There may be psychosocial benefits and/or the effects of alcohol intake may not reach a clinically important difference (at least for moderate intake). Thoughts?

[Matthew Boyd @mboydphysio]

@Lentejeta @tomgoom Pubmed has improved its search tool significantly in recent years. Then Google "sci-hub" to find out where it has moved to so you can get the paper

Does restricting arm motion compromise short sprint running performance?... https://t.co/PUY7F3qPzV

@BasVanHooren Wondershare Filmora isn't free but after trying out free options I'm really glad I shelled out the 80 bucks or whatever it was. It's actually quite fun to use 🙂
