Nice idea and great study. But given we can’t get patients to take their meds, what chances do we have at getting them into a heat suit 4 times a week for an hour? All while our built environment does everything it can to remove thermal stress from our lives (e.g. air con)

The media are generally doing a poor job of reporting on this issue. But the biggest failing is leadership from the IOC and the lack of a credible boxing gov body. Creates room for misinformation, and the athlete takes the worst of it. Steve’s thread below is a great summary.
So much information on the Algerian Boxer. Let's clear up the mess in this thread. 1. They are NOT trans 2. The The IBA says she failed eligibility to compete as a female. We do not know test specifics. 3. If this is accurate, she is likely DSD (intersex). What does this mean?

So basically an SNP day designed to expose Labour divisions and undermine Starmer ended up with a Labour amendment securing the first Commons call for a ceasefire on Gaza. No wonder SNP and Tories furious. Starmer really is a lucky general.

Great thread on our perception of and appetite for risk in our personal and professional lives. I’ve recognised mine changing as I age/have a family. But interesting to see that shift happening on a national scale. The bigger the challenge, the more ambitious the solution.
NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

objectively quite funny that after all that tub-thumping about imperial measurements barely 1% of the public want them back

NEW: for this week’s column I dug into the curious case of British attitudes to immigration Before the EU ref, concern about immigration tracked levels of arrivals. Since then, immigration has kept rising but concerns have evaporated What’s going on? https://t.co/dWtOCZ9Dkt

Whenever someone presents the argument that it’s a simple individual choice whether to be heathy or not, remember those that don’t want you to be healthy have lots of well funded lawyers!!

In conclusion: Stop saying we send too many people to university, and start saying we’re not creating enough graduate-quality jobs. End of rant. Here’s my column in full (free to read for the first 300 clicks)

The 2nd paper from my PhD thesis looking at 🏃🏽♀️+🧠 has been published #OpenAccess in @ExpPhysiol 1️⃣🔺VO2max associated with faster cerebrovascular kinetics during hypercapnia in children. 2️⃣🔺VO2max associated with 🔺 Cerebral blood flow in adolescents.
Great to see this one out in press: Cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity are modified by maturational stage and exercise training status during youth Another instalment from @JSTalbot93’s thesis. Big collaborative effort with @CUBRICcardiff
