Thank you so much @andyreid49 and @sportanalysis83 for your support to this project. Especially grateful to my supervisor @carlamccabe for being present at every session. This simply would not have been possible without your help!
Well done PhD Researcher @max_indu for 2 days of intense data collection during the Christmas holidays! Many thanks @andyreid49 @sportanalysis83 for allowing us to be part of an excellent @swimireland National Junior Pathway camp - very promising talent coming through 💥💥

In other words, the entire load-velocity relationship can be very accurately obtained by using only two loads and thus two sprint trials (25 and 75%BM), instead of a longer, more taxing protocol. https://t.co/CgtjbZwZKp via @jb_morin

When implemented correctly, resisted sprint training, including high resistances, is an effective way to improve short sprint performance and acceleration mechanics. Several studies and coach repor…

Swimming race analysis has typically separated the 5 m range before the wall from the "clean-swimming" definition without much scientific evidence. Ever wondered whether it makes sense or not? It actually does. Check our latest study for details

If you're around Pathankot or in Dharamshala for the IPL and are stuck due to the current situation, I have a homestay in Dharamshala that can comfortably accommodate 10–15 people. Feel free to reach out. Please retweet so it reaches someone in need.

Sample size estimation in @JSportsSci : rather “is there an effect present?” researchers' question should be “is there an effect present, and if so, what is its magnitude, and how much uncertainty is there in our population estimate of that effect?”⬇️ https://t.co/E9btPuTFsY

All that glitters in youth sport 🏅 is not gold. When maturation and relative age were considered relative to normative age-group ranking, "94% of swimmers significantly changed performance ranks" - 94%! Really interesting work in @JSportsSci

Glad to be poolside after months of planning. Huge thanks to @IsobellThompson @AudotDorian and Joe banks for the incredible help with my first experiment. Underwater mocap has always been something I wanted to explore. Thank you @carlamccabe @Rodn3yK3nn3dy for making it possible.

Exploring the impact of breathing patterns on active drag in breaststroke swimming 🔸Individual data: 40% of the swimmers decreased Da breathing every two strokes, with some being faster. 🔸Pooled data: no differences were found. 💻 https://t.co/0nkBX0fG6W
