🚶♂️Pulling different physical behaviour levers for an equivalent outcome: Far larger than previous 'best-estimates', the authors find 1min of vigorous activity = 4–9min of moderate or 50–90min light PA for a number of major outcomes. Now in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
It was a privilege to speak at the Chinese Orthopaedic Surgery Society annual meeting on ACL injuries and return to sports, and celebrate the opening of Peking Uni Shenzhen Sports Med Hospital

Well into January 2025, let's take a look at the list of ACL injuries in #WOSO in the last 3 years.
We have at least 541 ACL injuries since January 2022, 197 found in 2024, and already 5 in 2025 (but not taken into account here)
A short 🧵 👇
ALT In 2022: at least 167 players suffered an ACL injury In 2023: at least 177 players suffered an ACL injury In 2024: at least 197 players suffered an ACL injury 541 ACL injuries found in 3 years 66 additions to the list since September 2024 195 of these players have NT experience Let's take a look 👇

I’m very surprised that no one has created a sports injury prevention podcast!
So here it is! open.spotify.com/episode/7qq…
I have started this to help disseminate sports injury prevention research more widely and introduce my university students, colleagues and stakeholders
I have a PhD scholarship for domestic students @RMIT on knee injuries. Share widely and get in touch if interested. Work with a fantastic team to decrease the burden of ACL injuries. Need to meet PhD entry criteria. Background in allied health, medicine, sports science etc.

With winter breaks in northern hemisphere + preseason about to start in Australia - good time to remind people of the @FootballAUS Perform+ system.
Lots of tips for coaches, parents & players to improve performance + reduce injury risk!

The RMIT University hashtag#MedTech delegation went international last week with a very productive visit to Singapore where we met with established and new partners and collaborators as we discussed how existing and emerging technology can improve patient outcomes.
Honored to work with this amazing team. DOMS increases time to peak GRF. Active recovery decreased the perception of DOMS without changing biomechanics
Our latest paper, titled “Differences in Landing Biomechanics in the Presence of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness With or Without Active Recovery,” is now online in JEK with @andressallemos, @KarineStoelben, and @evpappas. More on this topic coming soon :)

The @RMIT #MedTech team at the physical and metaphorical forefront of the @medtechactuator showcase. Great to hear from founders on topics ranging from genomic to kidney disease and network with startups from Spain, Japan and Singapore @RRG_Vlahos
A huge thank you to @RRG_Vlahos for giving me the opportunity to present my research on #ACL injuries and my philosophy for the #medtech Hub @RMIT . I was impressed by the insightful questions and the productive discussion

There is indeed something magical when you talk science with a colleague genuinely interested in the intellectual pursuit of ideas. Plato said the truth is a mirror shattered by the gods, and mortals try to piece it together. Thanks for sharing @LionelChiaPT
“In this (large group) setting, the diffusion of responsibility is inevitable, and many participants remain silent.
The strongest voices steer the course of the discussion. Because of implicit judgment, many ideas are not expressed or developed.”
