Uphill running increases load on the Tibia and Achilles but can reduce peak load on the knee. ⛰️🏃‍♂️ See Van Hooren et al. (2024) for more on the influence of gradient, speed and step rate: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Pleased to see another chapter of Anne-Marie Hanff (@[email protected]) 's PhD dissertation published!

After 6 months it's great to see our paper being used: -in the top 8 most downloaded papers Journal of Biomechanics since May -gathering citations in Google Scholar -appeared in reference lists of multiple abstracts/posters last week at ESMAC -multiple reporting checklist downloads

New review where we discuss whether resistance training (RT) helps or hinders performance in speed and endurance sports? We discuss how certain RT adaptations might boost but also impair performance! Free full-text: link.springer.com/article/10.100… Short thread with figures below

Congratulations to our own Liset van der Hulst who won the SMALLL public poster prize last Friday!

A few days ago I was invited to the Movement Optimism podcast by Greg Lehman to discuss running injury prevention, running economy and wearables. Listen to it in the link below ⬇️ open.spotify.com/episode/7bMd3O…

On Monday at 16:00, Anne-Marie Hanff (@[email protected]) (double doctorate at Maastricht University & Luxembourg Institute of Health) will defend her thesis, titled: “A mixed-methods investigation of the trajectories of patient-reported functional mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease”.

Everyone is welcome to attend the public defence in Maastricht at the Aula, or to follow it online here: youtube.com/@UMphddefense The pdf of the thesis can be downloaded here: cris.maastrichtuniversity.nl/files/23295105…

You can find the individual articles in the thesis at the following links: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… link.springer.com/article/10.118… osf.io/preprints/osf/… osf.io/preprints/osf/… osf.io/preprints/osf/…

How to prevent running injuries? In this video from the Universiteit van Nederland I give some tips and explain more about the research I do on this. For example, I discuss How do we measure / change tissue load? Do anti-pronation shoes work? And more... Video: youtube.com/watch?v=nf9LEW…

Recently published #openaccess at the Journal of Vestibular Research: "Assessing gait variability concurrently with dynamic visual acuity on a treadmill in people with bilateral vestibulopathy" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09… with support from the YERUN Research Mobility Award

Pleased to share our new preprint "The impact of perturbation intensity schedule on improvements in reactive balance control in young adults: an experimental study" together with Avril Mansfield #balance #stability #falls #openaccess biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Last week, Kenneth Meijer presented "Stumbling to Improve Balance" for the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine seminar series: youtu.be/mFjP9DguJg4?si…

Pleased to have contributed to this new book published today with our chapter: "How Older Adults Can Avoid Falls via Proactive and Reactive Gait Adaptability: A Brief Introduction"

You can find the published chapter here: link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… and the free to read preprint version here: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

We have done several case studies on world-class male master athletes. But what about the females? With Michele Zanini we assessed Jeannie Rice in the lab following her marathon world record in London (3h33’ at 76 yrs old) Short thread below Full-text: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Looking for participants to investigate tissue loading in sports You are: - 18 - 45 years old - healthy, no current injuries - Participating in sports (> 2/w) Interested or know anyone that is? Mail to [email protected] ATO-GEAR Nutrition and Movement Sciences UM Human Movement Science UM

New study where we investigate whether 1) ‘super shoes’ work for recreat. runners, and 2) why some runners benefit more 1. Super shoes improved RE by 2–4% 2. Comfort, anthropometrics, muscle architecture & running style didn't explain who benefited most onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

A monumental effort by a huge team to complete the first large replication project in sports and exercise science. Part 1 includes the results of the replication project: doi.org/10.1007/s40279… Part 2 includes reflections: doi.org/10.1007/s40279… Aaron Caldwell Joe Warne

Pleased we Human Movement Science UM Bas Van Hooren Kenneth Meijer could contribute in a small way with 1 of 25 replication studies in this monumental effort led by Jenny Murphy A very important project with huge implications both for researchers & practice in sports/exercise science!
