Delighted to pass my PhD with minor amendments today. Thank you to @Judospace and Dr. Andy Garrett for the viva today. It was a really enjoyable experience. Thank you to my supervisors @BottomsLindsay Mike Price and Ian Campbell for their support #DrLuke #PhD #fencing 🎉🎉
Great to be invited to write an article by @MiddlesexUni to reflect on winning the @NetballSL with @thundernetball and my netball journey

Congrats to MDX Sports and Exercise Science Lecturer @Luke_Oates92, who helped @thundernetball win the Netball Super League Championship as their Performance Analyst 🏆
Proud to have him on #TeamMDX, inspiring the next generation of sports and exercise science professionals👏
11th season complete in @NetballSL and what a way to finish with @thundernetball winning the grand final on Saturday. First ever grand final for me! Excellent performance by the team to get the win #worththewait #champions #netball #performanceanalysis

Great to see @J_Cree first study from his PhD published looking into fencing footwork and how it’s developed over time between 2012 and 2020 @Olympics #fencing #research #footwork #performancanalysis
Really pleased to get the first study from my PhD published. It investigates the number and effectiveness of attacks using two different footwork methods. We used 2012 & 2020 Olympic Games and coded 136 épée bouts. Thanks to my supervisors @Luke_Oates92 and @anthonyturneruk

Great to see our editorial published today discussing how we can use heat acclimation for performance within clinical populations to protect against heat related illness. Thank you to @Laura_Wilson1 for asking me to be involved

LSI Dept: Elite-level sports science labs, biomechanics, strength & conditioning & physiology suites. Access to Saracens' academy & expert coaching. Work with cutting-edge tech, motion capture, force sensors & full-body scanners,rehab and cognition labs for performance analysis.
It was great to present mine and @HannahHersant research last week @CASESsocial sport and performance division day @UA92MCR
Also, I managed to make it to a home game with @thundernetball getting a win, being more remote this year it was great to work a game in person #netball
It was great to be a part of the @WilliamsRacing athlete testing with their academy drivers #testing #F1

Following on from the 2024 international article published with @HannahHersant and with the relaunch of @NetballSL 2.0 it is great to see our research paper examining performance indicators in 2023 and 2024 NSL has been published
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
#research #NSL #netball
Highlights from our paper:
1. There is still a performance difference between top and bottom teams
2. CP and TO to goal we’re above 70% which indicates a threshold for successful performance
3. There had been development since 2008 with large increases in CP, TO and shooting %
4. However there is still a large variation in performances with high ranges for the performance indicators and larger winning margins especially when compared to @SuperNetball
