It pains me to see what we do to high school students and pre meds This arms race must be stopped When you rob a generation of what it is like to be young, you will pay for that... medscape.com/viewarticle/92…

If you have an in-office ultrasound: it’s a great tool to quickly determine if you’re dealing with a possible syndesmosis injury (and need further diagnostic work-up) or ‘just’ a lateral ankle sprain! Great job by Thomas Baltes & team. Follow him for more upcoming ankle research!

Analysis of high speed running distances in matches before/after hamstring injury shows we have some work to do in shared decision making Return to play after hamstring injury is not return to performance in half of top level football players #Free journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Yikes, would you take a drug* with this side effect profile?! (*oh, it's the placebo arm of the Pfizer vaccine trial)

The floor is 8 reps/week for Nordics to show strength & fascicle length benefits (more is better though) Stop training & you lose the effect 2x4/week doesn't seem like much to add to a programme to me - < 2 minutes doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.…

Biceps Femoris Long Head fascicles⬆️length in rehab by a bit more on the injured than uninjured leg - why? Injured leg more fertile ground for sarcomereogenesis Don't load the uninjured leg enough Upper limit to lengthening? TL;DR: We really don't know🤷 hindawi.com/journals/tsmed…

A barrier to Nordics is DOMS-here we've seen this to be dose-dependent, & at worst it was ~3-4/10 for the progressively increasing volume group onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… but they also saw the biggest increases in strength & fascicle length-Risk:Reward Stop for 4/52 & you revert tho

Our new hamstring study finally out now in BJSM! Nicol van Dyk being too kind, but this was definitely a team effort to get it over the line. Very grateful to all my co-authors!
