(1/x) Authors have sued the six largest academic publishers for running an illegal cartel that violates US antitrust law. Here are the key points from the biggest lawsuit in academia 🧵 Please retweet to help promote FAIR publication.

The control group for the human race is the group that's moving. Being sedentary is the intervention If you're not moving... you're not well. https://t.co/xrRVWP9o4X

The "secret" the Soviets were hiding was steroids. I literally wrote the book on cross-domain periodization (with @stevemagness) and I can assure you this entire thread is contrived nonsense. It is a prime example of just how stupid this place has become.

Working with pro athletes isn’t impressive. They’d succeed with or without you. You know what’s impressive? - Cutting a 70-year-old's fall risk in half. - Helping a grandparent crawl, play, and keep up with their grandkids. - Guiding an ‘average’ person to be strong & confident

Ask an ortho surgeon, anesthesiologist, or OR nurse... the average joint replacement patient didn't exercise regularly (yes, some did- genetics has a big role, too). Nor were they before their pain stopped them. Lifestyle choices affect our risk for OA and OA progression

Our approach to strength training for the elderly… Bubble wrapped and worried… They can handle load.

Exercise for Low Back Pain Is it effective and can we prescribe it better? A 🧵.......

@ScottRJ_VT @WesternU @VirginiaTechCPE Specially proud of my lab team for their presentations and awards for @b_odonnell17 @Brentwakefield3 and Justin Tang. Thank you for your help Danielle Johnston, @StephLeighton_ @rehannakanji and DanStefan_ handling the X account @igjc2024 while also presenting your great work

Department wouldn’t be the same without @StamatisChrones shenanigans 🤣

I'm humbled by the continued encouragement from my supervisors and key individuals in the department. The Keith Moore Doctoral Achievement Award is such a privilege and a wonderful culmination to my PhD journey. I can't thank the department enough for their continued support.

I'm incredibly grateful for all the support and guidance I received during my PhD. Something drove me to the @westernuACB department at @WesternU and I am so glad I listened to my gut. It was the best decision I could have made for my scientific journey.

We have the script all wrong. Why falls are a common cause of death…

Happy to share that we have published our work on Pannexin 3 in forced treadmill running-induced osteoarthritis in mice. @DrSilviaPenuela @BeierLab @LabSeguin @DrMatthewGrol @JHutchinson_JH @CroseBrooks https://t.co/nvChQ2bdX8

The research says that no exercise is better than another for back pain. I can't fully buy into this narrative - its a reflection of research methodology rather than an absolute. Any clinician working with those in pain knows that certain exercises work better for certain

Why has aerobic exercise dominated the fitness narrative? Great piece from @mackinprof on how the rise of “aerobics” in the 70’s and 80’s - together with persistent stereotypes about lifting weights - left resistance training falling by the wayside. But the tide is turning, and

Thank you @ACEJointHealth @ArthritisSoc for the opportunity to share our research!

Seeing a Physio

A lot of people care a lot about protein in their diet and your gainz... The primary (by far) driver of muscle mass gain is progressive resistance exercise! The very thin slice that protein adds is, for most mere mortals, so thin as to be inconsequential
