This was a fun final episode in 2023. As ever, loads of good stuff about #academic & #research journeys, life lessons, & of course my favourites - #exercise & #nutrition!
ICYMI, here is Ep. 17 from last year. We spoke to @KieraBatten, a dietician-researcher about inborn errors of #metabolism & potential #exercise interventions for their treatment: https://t.co/FfnabK5wxh

Ep.15 of @ResBytesPodcast is live, and this one is for the #runners. It's a rare insight into how we assess the neuromuscular system in #sport and #exercise #science.
How do your running shoes and getting fatigued affect your #running energetics? In Ep.15, @KeyNahan, a #PhD candidate at the School of Health Sciences @UNSWMedicine, uncovers some of the physiology and physics of running. Tune in: https://t.co/IBX5nIqaeG

We don’t need more evidence that exercise is beneficial. We do need more work on how to translate this evidence into practice.

Load ranked highest for strength due to practice. Want to be strong(er) then lift heavy stuff #nobrainer Hypertrophy… many loads lead to Rome (muscle growth)… All RT works… worry less about the variables and more about doing it!
How do resistance training variables stack up when it comes to their importance for key benefits? In short: Load ranked highest for strength More sets ranked highest for muscle growth New systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis from @mackinprof and colleagues:
