New FREE paper in which we compare #hamstring fascicle behavior and muscle forces between the Nordic hamstring exercise, Roman chair and deadlift https://t.co/XAz6cniwEr More info, images & videos in thread ⬇️ @kenneth_meijer @BeBiomech @SamVanRossom @NMS_UM @HumanMoveSci_UM

New paper where I argue that injuries such as hamstring strains and ACL injuries may be overuse injuries instead of acute injuries For example, the figure shows that fiber force & length during injury step is not different from many preceding steps FREE paper link in comments

Another study showing that the use of compression socks during running is associated with INCREASED injury risk No cause-effect, but definitely something to think about next time you see compression socks being recommended to reduce running injuries. https://t.co/w8SAHXHcJR

It was great to present on wearables and running injuries at at the Zurich Forum for Applied Sport Sciences last week Thanks to Christian Kryenbühl from @swissbio for the invite

Anyone in my network that has access to the following paper? Armstrong, L. E., & Costill, D. L. (1985). Variability of Respiration and Metabolism: Responses to Submaximal Cycling and Running. Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 56(2), 93–96.

Excellent systematic review of biomechanics & running economy from @BasVanHooren & colleagues: https://t.co/KWYzawlc1D Increasing step rate or reducing trunk flexion may help efficiency in some runners 🏃‍♂️ Lots to unpack so we’ve summarised the key findings in this graphic.

Had a great time at @E_C_S_S presenting at the invited symposium on trade-offs in adaptations to strength, endurance and speed training and giving an OpenSim masterclass to the sport science community Great to connect with so many colleagues and friends from around the world

Correlation properties of heart rate variability to assess the first ventilatory threshold and fatigue in runners This article written by @BasVanHooren et al. is among the top-cited articles in our Sports Performance section within the last 3 years. 👉 https://t.co/llCKmlGJzl

🏅 2nd place Dutch nationals 10.000m at @goudenspike Great to once again take a medal in a strong field. Also not a bad time (28.43) given the heat and wind. Perhaps one more 5 km this summer and then focus on the road races again in autumn

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 https://t.co/RckG11uJYF

I enjoy these types of case studies that challenge the extent to which cardiorespiratory fitness declines with ageing https://t.co/G869w2Q0S2 A 76-yr-old female with a VO2max close to 50 mL/kg/min is pretty impressive. Nice work from @BasVanHooren & @MicZanini

New 5km PB: 13:59 Last weekend at the Nijmegen NGA, I broke the sub-14 barrier in the 5K! 🕒13:59 Led almost the entire race solo, so much faster possible in a group race and with more specific prep. Happy with this for the first race of the track season

When we started this journey, we had no idea where it was going to take us. We poured our heart and soul into this book for the sole reason of making a positive impact on humanity. Today, we are excited to announce that we have sold 50,000 copies since launch! Thank you from

PhD Opportunity at Maastricht University – Measuring Tissue Loading in Sports, Daily Life and rehab Passionate about biomechanics, movement sciences, and wearable technology? We are offering a fully funded PhD position 🔗 Learn more & apply here: https://t.co/vAXNUyishg

Finally did a new VO2max test after 7 years. VO2max increased by ~10% from 70 to 77 mL/kg/min Different protocol & equipment, but likely also due to much higher volume and optimized training intensity distribution

If you have /know someone who has) power meters (or some other type), and you are willing to temporarily lend it for research on the accuracy and reliability of power meters, we'd love to hear from you!

Great experience to present among a group of top scientists and clinicians at @footballmed Conference 2025. Topic: using wearables to assess Achilles tendon loading #isoK25

Honoured that our article was selected as best short report at the @APSPhysiology summit in Baltimore this weekend! Thank you to my co-authors Prof Phil Jakeman and @BasVanHooren and the @japplphysiol editorial team for their support. @SHEResearch_TUS @SportHumanPerf

The Washington Post did a nice write-up of our study on a multiple world record holder master athlete. https://t.co/TQk1sHWk1b Free full-text of the study here: https://t.co/Y31pCndC4O.

Honored to share that last week I was awarded the PhD thesis jury and public awards from the Dutch Movement Sciences Society (@VvBN_nieuws). You can download the thesis for free here: https://t.co/rfXXnOnetb
