Today we worked on acceleration prior to a big block of conditioning. Instant feedback is great tool and our VALD Performance timing gates are awesome. But… we don’t use the initial splits EVER with any timing gate. When it comes to early acceleration, video doesn’t lie!

I take a stab at weighing the arguments for why runners seem so fast these days: shoes, pacing, pandemic training, Norwegian thresholds, etc. I also crunch some data to see if runners really are notably faster - and the jump is smaller than I expected. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

📢NEW PAPER! Where Mostly here now: @davidthewid.bsky.social, Sarah Myers West & I unpack what Open Source AI even is. We find that the terms ‘open’ & ‘open source’ are often more marketing than technical descriptor, and that even the most 'open' systems don't alone democratize AI 1/ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

"89% of international U17/U18 athletes never reach that level as seniors, and 83% of international-class seniors weren't U17/U18 internationals" A good reminder that athletes whose talent seemingly emerges in their 20s are the rule, not the exception. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

Great analysis of Assefa's Berlin marathon record by Jonathan Gault. Including possible explanations. I make it a 2.75% improvement on her previous best time and a 1.63% improvement on the previous WR. letsrun.com/news/2023/09/t…

Are you an AT / PT or Physio working with running-based field sport athletes in rehab? You need to know HOW your athletes are generating and controlling speed. We provide the data YOU NEED using the equipment your team already has. speedsig.com

After four and a half days and 460 miles, Harvey Lewis has won BIG'S #backyardultra with 108 loops. A new WORLD RECORD. He is... the last one standing.

SPEEDSIG's first research article has just been published in JSCR. Our focus has been on delivering a scientifically valid and reliable tool for #performance #injuryprevention and #rehabilitation. We are committed to continuing to publish our internal research...stay tuned.

Can you trust heart rate measured on the wrist during exercise? I did some tests of Polar Vantage V3 and Garmin Forerunner 255. 🧵1/14

Congratulations to SPRING PhD candidate, @rileydunnaep who passed her PhD Confirmation of Candidature milestone yesterday. Riley is completing some groundbreaking research. Her topic is- The Female Esports Athlete – Impact of the Menstrual Cycle on Esports Health and Performance

Extremely excited and grateful to be presenting alongside Vince Kelly at the SPRING Symposium 2024. We will address a few topics around #PerformanceAnalysis, #DefensivePerfromance and #PhysiologicalTesting in women’s water polo.

This is the first of what we hope might be more Target Articles in Journal of Applied Biomechanics proposing new theoretical frameworks in a research area. Feel free to reach out if you have been rethinking how to address big questions in your movement biomechanics area.

Mark Connick and Glen Lichtwark propose a framework that running economy changes with footwear due to a direct effect of footwear properties and a mediating effect of footwear on ankle and foot biomechanics and the spring-mass system. Read more here: doi.org/10.1123/jab.20…
