So interesting, @ShawnArent & I often discuss this. Graphics ofBP measurements not accurate & neither are patients’ experiences in medical settings. Zero times have my HC providers been quiet while taking reading, feet never on floor, back not supported, arm not supported.

A massive 10-year study shows that muscle power, your ability to generate force quickly, is a far stronger predictor of survival than grip strength. Men in the lowest power group had ~6x higher risk of death Women: ~7x higher risk Strength still matters, but speed + force

At South Carolina’s flagship higher education institution, our faculty are setting new records for funding to build the scientific foundation that will improve lives in the state as soon as tomorrow and well into the future.
Serving our state is central to our mission as South Carolina's flagship university. That's why another record-setting @USCResearch year isn't just great news for our outstanding faculty. It's great news for South Carolina. https://t.co/K6fWJ6yb8U

Six of the NFL's 15 full-time female coaches are working in strength departments. Who are they? And how did they find their fit in the weight room? Big thanks to these coaches for sharing their stories with me. https://t.co/FoXFGDwCVm

You've probably seen headlines: High-Intensity Training is superior to easy aerobic running. But dig deeper and you'll notice a pattern: most of these studies are short: just 4 to 8 weeks. A recent review tells a fuller story. In the early weeks, HIT and Sprint Interval

Hey @TheTodayShow -supplements ARE regulated by the FDA. In fact, supplements have more FDA regulation than functional foods which consumers (and RDs) don’t think twice about before purchasing. As an RD, it angers me that ALL RDs are not aware of this. #supplementfacts

Much appreciated @spikesonly ... when I get to work with and interact with people of your caliber, I can't help but raise my level! The work you do to apply the science and dig deeper is a true game-changer, Carl. Keep inspiring!
The application of science in sport is measured with impact to outcomes. Over the last few years the difference is palpable with why we are doing. Huge fan of @ShawnArent and recommend pro or elite teams use his private services. Nothing beats a peace of mind.
