This is the first time I've been to a conference in such a lecture hall. (Let's see if the other researchers will forgive me for my study limitations tomorrow morning.) Looking forward to 3 days of strength training science! Strength & Conditioning Society (SCS)


Great take-home message from Julian Alcazar. For sure all >40 year-olds should track their lower-limb power using a simple home-based test with Powerfrail app. The app provides needs-based recommendations. #powerfrail (and Julian had a great power score!)

Many thanks to Pedro E. Alcaraz and his team for organising a very nice Strength & Conditioning Society (SCS) congress. Great venue and nice relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful to meet up with old acquaintances and to make new ones that will promote future work! Muchos gracias!

So pleased to show that strength trained differ from non-trained in sub-cortical excitability. This work will lead to plenty future studies in this area of investigation. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s… #jyunique Biology of Physical Activity
