"Recovery isn’t just something we “do” for 30 minutes after a workout — it’s a 24/7 process that happens when we’re not actively pushing our bodies to the limit during training or competition." @mattdriller sportsmith.co/articles/bigge…
Exercise is about more than just fitness or aesthetics. It’s what it means for our ability to stay independent for longer. Here’s the cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) needed for common daily activities. Once our fitness drops below these thresholds, we can no longer…
An intriguing question: What’s the minimum “dose” of resistance training needed to build muscle or strength? This study (pre-print) delivers new insights on whether higher training volumes or frequencies provide more benefit. The minimum effective dose of resistance training…
The “best” exercise for health: Any type you enjoy. Despite common belief, the benefits of aerobic and resistance training are more similar than different. It’s best to do both, but either provides more benefits than many expect.
We are very proud to launch our newest venture, the VU Block Model Academy. The Academy will equip education institutions worldwide with the tools to implement the VU Block Model, as well as conduct research evaluation and teacher training. More here: bit.ly/46q5E5h
Night matches at the Australian Open are a great spectacle 🎾 but sleep disruption is likely to wreak havoc even on professional athletes, writes @NickSaner (@victoriauninews) + @LivKnowles1 (@Deakin). theconversation.com/some-australia…

Sarcopenia: the progressive age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and/or function. Prevalence: estimated 10-16% of elderly worldwide Risk factors: include physical inactivity, malnutrition, smoking, extreme sleep duration, and diabetes Consequences: increased risk of a wide…
High-intensity interval training is not superior to continuous aerobic training in reducing body fat: A SR and MA of RCT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927356/ but... HIIT shows greater benefit than CAT in increasing VO2 max and fasting blood glucose and reducing total cholesterol
One of the worst injuries you need to avoid: Plantar fasciitis. I’ve spent 100s of hours reading the research so you don’t have to. Here’s how you can protect your feet from pain (for good):
Aerobic versus resistance training: how do they stack up for health benefits? Sure, there are some unique benefits to aerobic and resistance training. But - the overall health benefits are more similar than once thought. So, do both if you can. But just getting started (and…

Fascinating presentation from @Ramon_Spaaij on Mega-Trends in Health & Sport summarised via the following figure displaying 5 Glocal (Global & Local) trends that are currently and will continue to shape the health & sport landscape in an interconnected manner.
Uni assessment in a time of generative AI @margaret_bea “AI has already made huge inroads into society. How we choose to address its presence in assessment design requires thinking broadly, not narrowly. Assessment is not just about testing, always an intervention into learning”
Did my exercise science undergrad & honours @UTAS_ and can attest it was fabulous. Great place and opportunity to join @PitchfordN and the University of Tasmania Exercise & Sport Science team...
