Warmups and cooldowns go beyond exercises; they're phases to guide your nervous system towards your desired state of arousal. #SportsScience #TrainingTips #PerformanceMindset
It seems the last tweet really got some people fired up. Apparently, some people really do not like to warm-up!
They're going to love this one 😊
If short on time, and by short on time, I mean if you have less than ~90min to train, the whole session should just be one big warm-up followed by one big cool-down.

The tangled web of open access, data sharing, and the true cost of #OpenScience
Coaching professional athletes may sound impressive, but let's be real - you're helping an entertainer make money. It's like being a costume designer or hair stylist for a movie star. Don't get too big for your britches.
While doing participatory action research, I’ve obsessed over using “readiness” and “training response” measures that are scientifically validated
If I don’t follow protocols, my research methodology will lack scientific rigor
Start a timer and count how many breaths you take in one minute
Aim for 6.5 to 4.5 breathes per minute for 5-20 minutes 1-2 times per day
Find your rhythm and ditch the timer

“Should the use of ambiguous, overlapping, or complex terminology persist, sport professionals may continue to talk past one another instead of striving to be in agreeance with one another.”

For people who have the luxury, daytime napping for 30-60 minutes between 12:30 and 16:45
⬆️ cognition
⬆️ physical performance and
⬇️ perception of fatigue
For 9-5ers, perhaps 30 minutes during lunch to meditate, go legs up the wall, box breath, etc.

WARMUPS ARE THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPROVE ATHLETE PREPARATION.
Think of the frequency of exposure. Athletes are allocating 5-10 minutes to warmups 5x/week. Stop the high knee tucks and butt kicker garbage.
Don’t waste time and energy. Program everything with purpose.
Heavyweights in the field of sport injury epidemiology @francoimpell and @IanShrier helping to create consistent nomenclature. Thank-you for leading the way.
Prevention versus Risk Reduction or Mitigation: Why create unnecessary battles? - goo.gl/scholar/QD6ZpZ #ScholarAlerts
Research is seldom read by those outside of academia. Hell, reading any long-form content is rare for most people. It’s sobering to write 10-20 page papers and realize that I’d get more readers and affect more change by posting content on social media.
Athletes are better served by sport coaches who can effectively manage all aspects of preparation. If sport coaches were well educated in physiology, biomechanics, and motor skill acquisition, S&C specialists become obsolete.
Can we really predict injuries in team sports? - goo.gl/scholar/mKjdLd #ScholarAlerts
“A world where we can prevent sports injuries before they happen is impossible, sports injuries will continue to occur. However, it is entirely possible to accurately assess your risk”
