The team at Sportfisio Suisse have put all the talks from their recent conference up on YouTube: youtube.com/@sportfisios...
If you don't click that link, as HG would say, you're being a fool to yourself and a burden to others
Maybe I am misremembering, but I thought "Doh" had been clued in the NYT crossword as the first word in doh-re-me, so I thought that was US spelling
Had similar thoughts about today's one, thought it was my lack of American English
All things bone stress injury in the latest Aspetar Journal here: journal.aspetar.com/archive/volu...
As always, free, open access, no catches, no sign-up etc.
One highlight for me is Evan Jeanguyot's Return to running after bone stress injury in runners: journal.aspetar.com/en/archive/v...

I'm looking at you, journals prioritising "punchy" titles and "sexy" findings
Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.
This feels to me a bit like the NRA's argument that the solution to school shootings is more guns in school. We're not going to fix the problems with scientific publishing by doubling down on the current system and pouring even more resources into it. We need to try something new.
My point 1 could "just" have been about cloning 101 patients to get statistical significance. But the WBC stuff makes me think the entire dataset is fake.
You may have seen reports about a paper claiming that "Stem cell therapy prevents heart attacks": bmj.altmetric.com/details/1830...
If so, you might want to grab some popcorn: pubpeer.com/publications...
That looks *very* dodgy...
No official protocol for me, but if it's going to work you should be seeing significant changes within 3 sessions, & only using if you genuinely tried conservative & it's not worked
NB radial & focused shockwave quite different
Evidence seems to be there, only if conservative truly failed - means >3months of appropriate loading & addressing all contributing factors

Not first line care for sure
Team physicians from Africa: great opportunity here from the IOC - no costs - registration, travel, meals, & accommodation for 2 docs/country to this year's Advanced Teams Physicians' courses in Senegal.
Please share far and wide (your national Olympic Committee has the details)
I am absolutely stealing that line.
Still chuckling now minutes later....
If anyone from PEDRO and/or DiTA is on here, can you have a look and let me know
Trying to pool data from diagnostic studies means knowing the raw data, but that's not always given.
This app lets you enter what is given, and it titerates through all possibilities to give you most likely candidates:

I said pressure pain thresholds were a bust - statistically we had an increase at the site of pain (not at Tib ant on the same leg or the lateral elbow) but I think this effect is pretty small when you look at the raw data, & maybe down to this group starting a wee bit lower
I honestly thought that the analgaesia from BFR was placebo, so we did a sham-controlled crossover RCT, and seems there's something there: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
Probably not due to sensitisation-local or global
When you need to do strength training but can't might be an option
THIS
Scientific journals adding value again, and making reviewers' lives easy - here we have 2 sets of line numbers, one of which is conveniently superimposed over the reference numbers, presumably to make it easier for me to figure these our while doing my review
π§ͺ New paper alert! We keep trying to understand muscle-tendon crosstalk. Here we determined whether exosomes could explain why serum after resistance exercise makes bigger stronger tendons. Contrary to our hypothesis, it is not exosomes. The search goes on.

Some experiments advance science. Others advance the reviewerβs sense of power. Guess which costs more. #FridayThoughts
Spotted this guy eating his lunch while walking through downtown Kuala Lumpur today
Such an indictment that many (maybe most) of us are given no real training or even much direction in peer review.
Here's my tips on replying to reviewers comments & doing a review:

Fair warning: I also don't know what I'm doing
ooh look at me it took me ten years to invent my own job and i only have headshots that make me look like a kindly potato
also i really enjoyed this interview

Outstanding practical review of the recovery modalities available and more importantly, when to implement from Martin Buchheit in this morning's Aspetar Rehab CPD session
The Tawny Frogmouths that lived in our paperback trees on the Central cost of NSW were pretty good at hiding too
Note the large variability in response though across all the domains in this experimentally induced muscle strain model. Real-world muscle injury study on the way, should be recruiting in the coming months & will determine if there is an appreciable difference between hot, cold, and thermo-neutral
Finally in print physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...
Time to rethink cold/ice after muscle injury - cold slows everything down, including healing.
Reminder that ice for injury was built on very shaky foundations.
Better strength after just 4 days, hot water also better for pain
