Research does not always involve lab coats and measuring o2 and blood 🌡 Various efforts are done behind the scenes but are rarely revealed. Mine today: Picking up our 13-yr old subjects in a bus 1hr from of our lab, listening to them singing Justin Biebers “Baby” on repeat 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

Offside rule 101 with some very nice graphics. Nothing new here (for those who knows the rules) but maybe some inspiration to explain other complicated topics in an easy way 🤩 washingtonpost.com/sports/interac…

💥 Great review discussing the challenge of maturation in youth (male) sport, and the different approaches to level the playing field in selection and training/competition 👇🏼 mdpi.com/2058514 #mdpichildren via MDPI

Signs of athlete's heart already by the age of 12 in👧&👦endurance athletes. Through adolescence, boys🫀 adapt and enlarge more than girls🫀. Nice figs and study with data from a cohort in our research group Marianne Forsaa Jostein Hallén Thor Edvardsen openheart.bmj.com/content/10/1/e…

Godt skrevet om utfordring i idretten Mer fokus på tidlige resultater og prestasjon er ikke en god utvikling, og heller ikke noe det er bevis for at gir bedre prestasjoner som voksen. Barneidrett må være for barn, ikke voksne Tid for selvransakelse nrk.no/ytring/1.16431…

"Den tidlige veien til voksenidrett er ikke for alle" 🧊 Vi trenger litt is i magen og ekstra tålmodighet når vi skal utvikle våre neste idrettsutøvere. Alle blir voksen til slutt 🌟💪 En kommentar fra Henrik Herrebroden og meg #idrett #talentutvikling dagsavisen.no/debatt/2023/06…

🎧 En flott podcast av Jørgen Jevne og Stian Christophersen som jeg fikk være gjest på sammen med Eirik Halvorsen Wik 🏃🏼‍♂️🩻 🌱 Topp diskusjoner rundt vekst, skader og effekt av trening i puberteten. Kan være mye å plukke opp for trenere og andre med fot i ungdomsidretten 🙋🏼‍♂️ podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/von…

This is definitely worth a read for those interested in maturity-biases in sports - lots of great insights and quotes from coaches on advantages/disadvantages of maturing early or late in academy football!

🆕 First PhD study out! 🏃Coaching youth athletes and considering to boost fitness in pre-season? 👇 🔍Our findings show that high-intensity training do not improve VO2max more than low-intensity strength or play-based training. Link: doi.org/10.1111/sms.14… Jostein Hallén

Spennande forskingsnytt nå like før skisesongen startar. 12-åringar som trena hardt blei ikkje betre enn dei som hadde leika. – Funna våre viser at puberteten er den viktigaste faktoren for utvikling av kondisjon, seier stipendiat Halvard Grendstad, PhD #langrenn forskning.no/barn-og-ungdom…

Really nice set of images illustrating the variance in maturation that can exist within age groups

Presenting some very interesting findings at #acsm2024 on endurance-training girls that hopefully will be published in a journal soon 👇 The impact of puberty strongly influences the development of VO2max and may obscure potential training-induced changes for the 🫀 and🩸

Great trip to Norway with David Johnson to help Eirik Halvorsen Wik Halvard Grendstad, PhD Thomas Brantsæter and the NorgesFotballforbund educate academy staff on growth and maturation in academy football University of Bath CHi2PS UKCCIIS - IOC Research Centre of Excellence #heianorge 👏⚽️🇳🇴🔬
