We are seeking a postdoc at University of Toronto U of T Kinesiology & Phys Ed to investigate skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations to exercise training in pre- and post-menopausal women. Please get in touch if interested! More info here: kpe.utoronto.ca/sites/default/…


Some more work completed with Shalaya Kipp and the wonderful collaboration of lululemon 👖 🫁 💪 We take a look into the effect waistbands on intra-abdominal pressure and respiratory mechanics during bodyweight exercise Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research UBC School of Kinesiology journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/abst…

Excellent work by Hilkka Kontro and Martin MacInnis 🩸

Some ruffled feathers over a recent Lay Summary in nature 'Research Briefing' simplifying Lactate a 'waste product of the metabolism of sugar', despite the original article saying nothing of the sort Clear is better, but some things shouldn't be "Lay" www-nature-com.foyer.swmed.edu/articles/d4158…



Some great work and a challenging study lead by Owen Payne, a Masters Graduate from the Sheel Lab :) UBC School of Kinesiology

Tom's Weekend Warrior study is out! Training either 4x (short) or 2x (long) weekly resulted in the same adaptations, when overall volume and content of training was fixed. Performance, thresholds, efficiency, Hbmass, and ox cap ↑ equally in both groups. Martin MacInnis


I’ll come out of my social media hibernation and share some of what I’ve been up to 🤷♂️ I’ve enjoyed integrating lung mechanics 🫁 and CV function🫀. First piece out the IEEM tackles dynamic hyperinflation on measurable LV filling pressures in HFpEF. pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/282890/1-s2.0-…
