Tom's Weekend Warrior study is out! Training either 4x (short) or 2x (long) weekly resulted in the same adaptations, when overall volume and content of training was fixed. Performance, thresholds, efficiency, Hbmass, and ox cap ↑ equally in both groups. @MartinMacInnis

Just out! We describe a method to measure hemoglobin synthesis using heavy water. It takes longer than muscle etc. due to the delay between synthesis (in bone marrow) and sampling (blood), but it's short and simple compared with RBC labelling. w/ @MartinMacInnis & Chris McGlory

Curious how different training intensities and volumes affect mitochondrial growth, capillaries, and VO2max?🚴 Check out our new meta-regression, free to access in @SportsMedicineJ! 📖 Team effort with good friends @MrMoelmen & @AlmquistNicki 💪 Link: link.springer.com/article/10…

What are the most important factors for improving mitochondrial content, capillarisation, and VO2max? That is the key question in our meta-regression including 425 training intervention studies and 5650 participants examining the effects of exercise training 🧵

Check out our latest collaborative knowledge translation with @Mick_Leahy_ on his recent case study, exploring the use of thermodilution for quantifying human blood flow during running hplguelph.weebly.com

Direct measure of blood flow while running (via thermodilution)! 😲 Amazing work @Mick_Leahy_ et al! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Replying to @Mick_Leahy_
Using femoral venous and transpulmonary thermodilution, we were able to directly measure leg blood flow simultaneously with cardiac output during high-intensity running. You can see the process here, and in the supplemental materials of our paper

Excited about our latest BFR study led by Chris Pignanelli. We explored how BFR during exercise affects recovery and PLFFD compared to regular exercise. Results show BFR does not hinder neuromuscular recovery within 24 hours or increase PLFFD. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

Awesome time collaborating with @rowingcanada, and the gang over in Victoria, BC! The athletes were great to work with and some exciting findings that will hopefully convince other elite groups to begin documenting their training with blood flow restriction.
Great job on this team! @Dr_Burr @superalex_c Blood Flow Restricted Training and Time Trial Performance:... : Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/a…

Congratulations Dr. Thompson! It's been a a pleasure to follow your journey from master student & student track athlete to completion of your PhD under the steady wings of @Dr_Burr. Hiring tip: This @kmathompson guy is 🧨🧨🧨!
A huge congratulations to Dr. Kyle Thompson on the succesful defense of his PhD work. A tweet can't adequately describe the journey, but I feel privileged to have simply been along for the ride. Super proud of you and what you've accomplished!
