An incredible effort that tests the impact of a practical intervention based on years of theory on real-world exercise behavior (fitness center attendance over an 8-week period). Kudos to the research team!
Replying to @Ekkekakis
The result was a 77% higher session attendance (14.35 vs. 8.13 sessions) over the follow-up period of 8 weeks compared to the traditional (ACSM/FITT) exercise prescription. Importantly, session attendance was measured objectively, by card scans rather than self-reports.

“Tough math teachers get lower ratings from students, because students like them less. However, students get better grades with the tough teachers than with laxer teachers. Reason #167 why student evaluations of teaching aren’t particularly useful.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/i…

Time to stop classifying exercises as "functional" or "non-functional"; functional transfer exists on a continuum and is dependent on individual goals and abilities. Our international consensus paper on the topic is now pre-printed sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv…

This is an interesting example of a deeply personal strategy for increasing feelings of happiness in sport.
It just reminds me I do it for her. I do it for all the kids and Peta and everyone else...it's very special and it gives me good feelings coming into a finish" Mark Cavendish explains the origins of "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" #TDF2024

Prof. Michael Joyner was suspended without pay from the Mayo Clinic for his commentary on COVID-19 and trans issues. He later sued for contractual and academic freedom violations. A judge ruled that his case can proceed on 4/5 claims. The claim he lost? A finding that Mayo's academic freedom promises are window-dressing and mean nothing. Really an own goal for Mayo.

Exercise science has lost the communication and marketing battle. We have to do better than this. We should be better than this.
