I don’t normally post our own papers and this one is very different to what we normally do but hopefully it might be helpful for others looking to restart Physiology research in older adults
cdnsciencepub.com
We explored the views of older (≥65 years) past and potential volunteers in regard to participating in physiology research during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online questionnaire and focus...

Overall muscle and tendon adaptations appear similar in response to submaximal concentric and eccentric RET in young and older males. We investigated the time-course over an 8 week period. Have a look and come chat! @MVFranchi @UNAD_Research

I am doing this challenge with @MogwaiBeth and we hope to provide some progress updates along the way on the day! @worms_space @ExeterSHS @UNAD_Research @alzheimerssoc
I have signed up to do the SW Coast 2 Coast challenge this July (50 km!!) in support of the @alzheimerssoc. If you can donate to help this cause, each and every donation would be greatly appreciated no matter how small! Thanks very much in advance ☺️ https://t.co/icGgLzgAPq

Currently recruiting for one of my PhD studies! If you would like more information or are interested, please get in contact 😊 RTs greatly appreciated!
We are currently looking to recruit healthy young and older adult males to take part in a study investigating a “super-whey” protein supplement on muscle building across the lifespan. Please see poster below for more info. RTs greatly appreciated. @IzzyEly1

Given how difficult this last year has been, especially for those in care homes, it would be great if I could raise some money and awareness with @csbd7 for the @alzheimerssoc via the South West Coast2Coast Challenge https://t.co/CzzhRSOj9a Thanks in advance x
