🩸Blood lactate [BLa] does NOT increase exponentially during high intensity exercise 🧑‍🔬 Why do we make this common mistake? I think because we have focused too much on the lactate test And forgotten what information that test is trying to give us about real exercise 🧵1/14

Daniel Friebe Good to see the UCI are only 7 years behind the literature scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&…

Steve Magness The science isn't flawed. It's the over interpretation of the science that is flawed. P.S. A better description of the science is "limited". And it is by many things: no funding for sport performance research, coaches not allowing athletes to take part in studies etc.

The UCI wants to limit gear ratios to make racing safer. So we need to: – Assume unrealistic limits on cadence – Affect <0.3% of race time – Reduce speed by ~1–3 km/h – And force redesign of every WorldTour groupset All that, for no proven safety gain. escapecollective.com/chainrings-don…

Hey Steve!! I’m really not here to argue, but I do want to (respectfully!) clarify a few things about our paper so it’s not misrepresented. Appreciate the chance to add a bit of nuance to the discussion!

Good conversation. Not incompatible, just different perspectives on the same questions Population health policy/promotion 🤷‍♂️ Elite performance optimisation Mechanistic Ex Phys 🤷‍♂️ Applied sport sci Controlled causal inference 🤷‍♂️ Real-world ecological validity

If we're having a conversation and I misunderstand you, it's my responsibility to try to understand better If you misunderstand me, it's my responsibility to try to make myself better understood Say it with me: "It's always my responsibility to communicate better"

Jem Arnold Probably bring in a sociologist (is that the right discipline?) to compare to others exercise trends. For example check google search terms:

Remarkable insight from Michael Woods on safety in cycling. I often criticize the lack of good, transparent epidemiological data on cycling risk (describe the problem if you want to fix it). This is a manifestation of the tension that is created when that is lacking

There's a pile of research out there about the physiological cost of pro cyclists racing the Tour de France. But what would it look like if amateurs tried to ride the same route in 21 days? A new study answers the question: escapecollective.com/how-hard-is-it…
