A big thank you to my examiners Edd Thomson and @NaomiDatson - and my incredible supervisors @JHighton @craig_twist
Onwards and upwards..
Huge congratulations to @AmanSShergill on passing your PhD viva today! Outstanding job 👏🏼 @craig_twist and me are very proud!
Thank you so much to @NaomiDatson (sorry we couldn’t get a photo before your meeting!) and @EThomson_Boxing for examining.

Huge congratulations to @George_evans7 on his first publication (many more to come, I’m sure!). Thanks too to @alanchorley.
Our paper on the influence of exercise domain on durability of physiological determinants of endurance is available here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
There’s still time to book your free tickets for this. Please do come along if you’re interested!
I’ll be doing a free public talk on Saturday 5th July at Chester’s Town Hall. All are welcome! Tickets can be booked here: festivalofideas.chester.ac.u…

Latest paper (open access) with @JHighton that might be of interest to those practitioners using off-feet conditioning with team sport athletes - Physiological, perceptual and neuromuscular responses to 15 vs. 30 s cycling HIIT @LJMUSportSci link.springer.com/article/10…

My first publication is now live, presenting research from the Rugby League Men’s and Women’s World Cup. The study examines physical and perceptual characteristics across different roles, stages and competitions.
Supported by the best co-authors.

Great job Ella 👏🏼
First publication by @EllaJ__ examining physical & perceptual characteristics of RL referees and touch judges during group and KO stages of World Cup. Well done Ella! @JHighton @LJMUSportSci @RFLReferees
Paper is open access if you're interested: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

🚨Possibly the last chance to get involved in this exciting study looking into fatigue resistance (durability/resilience)🚨
Want to know your physiology? ⬇️
Next bout of data collection starts in April!
Register your interest here:

We're in the final stages of data collection for our study on amino acid absorption after resistance exercise with insect protein ingestion. We just need a few more participants, so if you're interested in taking part please get in touch! Feel free to share!

"Off feet" training can improve running performance for team sports?
Off feet training like sprint cycling, offers team sport athletes a way to boost performance without the impact of running.
A survey by @JHighton suggests 90% of practitioners use "off-feet" training.
But does the training confer performance benefits to on field performance? There are several studies with mixed findings.
Take home: In some cases, there is evidence of improved intermittent running performance and sprint performance following "off feet" training BUT NOT ALWAYS.
However much more work is required on the type of training, resistances used and the number of sprints, lengths, frequencies etc.
