Today we launched Maturity Monitor v1 - available now on iOS.
Now you can easily & accessibly estimate maturity in young athletes.
Visit the Apple Store now, but whilst you’re at it gives us 15-mins of your time to tell us how to make it better!

We found good reliability but practitioners are encouraged to adopt a conservative approach when using these measures to monitor physical performance changes change over time.
A great team effort from the InSPIRe group👊🏻

A great way to finish the working year
Our study, funded by TASS is now available online in JSCR.
We explored the sensitivity and within & between-session reliability of isometric strength and sprint speed measures in 147 multi-sport females.

- Therefore, I offer guidelines for coaches on how they may up/down-regulate mechanical load exposure for individuals to deliver maturity considerate approaches to preserve athlete health
- Developing players may/may not be able to handle such mechanical loads at particular periods of their biological development as a result of skeletal fragility and relative strength deficits
- The modern game requires higher intensities and frequencies of accels and decels - therefore, the area per player has shifted to smaller areas in training
- We see a higher volume of low-moderate accels, decels and changes of direction leading to high mechanical loads
This study has been swirling in my head for some time, so I was keen to conceptualise this through a narrative review of evidence.
The key aspects of the review are:
- SSG are used extensively in development environments as they offer high fidelity for players/coaches
I am delighted to have my first solo-authored paper published today in @Sports_Health.
