What you see: Friend who is fit, healthy and energetic in middle age.
What you SHOULD see: Friend who consistently eats healthy, makes time to exercise, and gets to bed at a reasonable hour.
Stop looking at the outcomes.
Start looking at the habits that lead to the outcomes.

There is no "minimum" amount of physical activity that someone should do. Facilitate & encourage people to do a little bit more. The evidence is clear. It is hugely beneficial.

The same for great physiotherapy.
Find that ‘in’
Find that way to connect with a person, what makes them tick and therefore if and how you can help them.
Tendon physiology…?? Don’t sweat about it 😎
What is great coaching? Connecting with people, understanding people. It's in vogue to talk about the science and the physiology, but connecting with who the athletes are as people and trying to understand them, their motivations, how to adapt, to get the best out of themselves. It's more in the psychology space, than it is in physiology. That's where the magic lies, is how to get the best out of each individual and understand them.

Large cohort study findings
🦵 High HbA1c even in prediabetes (>5.7%) triples the risk of LL tendon problems
🧐 High total cholesterol (>5 mmol/L) increases odds of UL tendinopathy by 1.5x, and metabolic syndrome by 2.5x In UL and LL

- lifting weights 3x week
- going for a walk each day
- saving at least 10 percent of your income
- reading every day
- drinking more water and less of everything else
- leaving your phone in another room while you work

#Swimming and #aquatic activity's important role in the #health of the nation from a 'moral', 'personal' and 'economic perspective'. And especially in poorer parts of the UK where residents experience 20 years less of good health.
#Peterborough desperately needs its pools.
🗨️ 'We need to think about how we can use things, such as swimming, as a way to improve the health of the nation'
William Roberts, Chair of our Swimming and Health Commission group, is excited about the role health will play in our #OneSwimEngland strategy.

These ideas are so old and outdated I've stopped teaching why we should stop teaching them.
These things never should have been adopted in the first place and the undoing seems to be a life long chore.
