It’s great to see our review on the methodological considerations when profiling durability alongside some interesting work in this special issue. Worth a read! Thanks to @expphysiol.bsky.social for showcasing our work.

New 📖: Durability of parameters associated with endurance running in marathoners published in @eurojsportscience.bsky.social We tested associations between durability of key physiological parameters and marathon performance. 🔗: doi.org/10.1002/ejsc... 🧵 below

New 📖: Durability of physiological and biomechanical variables during a marathon published in JSS, with Aldo Lena and Daniel Muniz 🔗: doi.org/10.1080/0264...

So the key aspect that makes a university is its research, so what is it when there's no or little research? A college?? A serious errosion of knowledge creation. UK universities cut back on crucial research because of reduced funding www.theguardian.com/education/20...

A key attack line in the next few years coming from Trump/MAGA and Reform is that university teachers (lecturers/professors) are poisoning the minds of young people, brainwashing them into leftist thinking. Make no mistake, this is a pretext to defund the sector. 1/n

The preprint of our latest sex differences research is now online: “Sex differences in durability following heavy intensity cycling exercise in trained athletes” The result of a very fun collaboration between research groups with similar interests! 🇮🇹🇬🇧 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tomorrow at @ecssofficial.bsky.social I’ll be discussing our findings on the durability of marathon runners and its association with performance. 🗓️ 02.07.2025, 13:15 📍 Lavatoio If you’re not attending and would like a copy of the slides, get in touch.

New paper out in Scand J Med Sci Sports! 
We tested the reliability of running economy (RE) and other physiological parameters during 90 min of running.

➡️ Running economy is highly reliable in a fatigued state, a 👍🏼 implication for testing durability

Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS! We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners. 📌Below details of what we’ve found. 🆓 Open-Access 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧵1/14

Excellent morning at the Marathon Medicine conference with some great speakers.

Biomech students are going to have this on repeat to demonstrate the Magnus effect. I’m not sorry.

Check out this excellent #Review from @benshunter.bsky.social et al., which delves into what we know about and how we approach physiological durability! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Recently there’s been plenty of good work in the (re?)emerging field of durability. Our review published in @expphysiol.bsky.social explores key methodological approaches and considerations to be made when profiling durability in research and applied settings.

Our new paper is out today looking at 'The relationship between muscle oxygenation and maximal blood lactate accumulation rate across varying cycling durations' onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A.V. Hill was a hero, a genius, and the most upright person Bernard Katz ever met. He helped bring exercise physiology into being. Here’s our review of that story, published in @jphysiol.bsky.social. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Tom's Weekend Warrior study is out! Training either 4x (short) or 2x (long) weekly resulted in the same adaptations, when overall volume and content of training was fixed. Performance, thresholds, efficiency, Hbmass, and ox cap ↑ equally in both groups. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Polarised🆚Pyramidal🆚Threshold Which training model is best?🏆 It might matter how trained you are🤔 Our new meta-analysis tries to answer which training intervention produces the greatest improvements in endurance performance in trained athletes Thread🧵 & 🔗links below👇 #SportScience #EnduranceSport
