Hate see bad sprint mechanics! This guys need to learn proper acceleration technique and mechanic before resistance sprints They are just running, not attacking to the ground with an effective leg actions

Players who reach ≥95% of their max speed in at least one effort per week are less likely to experience muscle injuries compared to those who reach ≤85%. Sprint training should be used as an injury prevention tool.

Nice insight from Kyle Walker on training for different positional demands. Data from our friends at Gradient Sports shows that the average EPL fullback is covering 280m of sprint distance and 660m of HSR Distance per 90mins. (Gary desperately needs to sit down with a Head of Performance to better understand sports science btw)

Regular sauna bathing might be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for cardiovascular health In Finnish data from Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s group, men who used the sauna 2–3 times per week had ~22% lower risk of sudden cardiac death vs. once weekly (at 4–7 times per week, that risk was ~63% lower) Sauna use also lowered all-cause mortality (24% lower at 2–3x/week, ~40% lower at 4–7x/week) and cardiovascular mortality (~50% lower at 4–7x/week), with similar dose-dependent reductions in stroke and hypertension Optimal parameters: ~174–179°F sauna, 20–30% humidity, about 20 minutes per session, at least 2–3x/week (with 4–7/week giving the biggest benefits)

Sets per muscle group: - For balanced development, you’re going to want to perform 5, 6, 7, 8ish sets per body part per week - If prioritizing a muscle group, you’re going to want to perform 8, 9, 10, MAYBE 10+ sets for that body part each week - If deprioritizing a muscle group, you only need 2, 3, 4ish sets for that body part each week to maintain existing development Obviously, if you are training a muscle group 2x per week (which you probably should be) you would just half these figures and you’d have your average per session volume — NOTE: It does not have to be a perfectly even split is spreading the work across 2 sessions

Two years of vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of structural heart aging in sedentary 50-year-olds By gradually building to 5–6 hours/week of training, participants reversed the shrinking and stiffening that comes with age The protocol: • Norwegian 4x4 intervals (once per week initially, later twice per week, eventually back to once per week) • Recovery aerobics (20–30 min. light exercise on days following intervals) • Endurance sessions (1+ hr. endurance training, plus a 30-min. base pace session weekly) • Strength training twice weekly The takeaway: even at 50, the heart can regain size and flexibility with enough structured training

“The KPI metric I’d focus on would be 87%+ max sprint effort and distance. This would show our repeat sprint ability at high speeds and if we are able to perform those efforts for a longer amount of time. By using these in combination it would allow us to identify their ability to translate winter training speed potential and optimise their training stimulus going forward.“ TCU Football’s Tyrell Brown (Pop Pop) ✌ By using our fully customisable speed zones, practitioners can set speed zones that are relative to a player’s max speed, making it extremely easy for coaches to identify the 87%+ speed exposures across their whole squad. Additionally, the distance covered in these relative speed zones can also be analysed at the click of a button allowing both the effort count and volume of sprints to be accounted for in player monitoring. This can also be achieved by setting the players sprint entry speed to 87%, dependent on user preference. Link in the bio to read more on this.

Interesting to see Liverpool incorporating recovery sprint specific triggers in their MSG training games. In Amorim’s drill, the trigger is a coach’s whistle to simply sprint back into position. In Liverpool’s version, defenders must recover and stop a goal attempt.

Sauna 4+ times per week can cut your risk of dying from a cardiovascular event by about 50%. Andrew Huberman explained this on Lex Fridman’s podcast. Using traditional saunas (80–100°C for ~30 minutes), the benefits increase with frequency: twice a week gives a solid reduction, but four or more times per week is where the data gets really impressive. A large 2015 Finnish study (Laukkanen et al., JAMA Internal Medicine) following 2,315 middle-aged men for ~21 years found that, compared to sauna once per week: - 2–3 times/week → 27% lower cardiovascular mortality - 4–7 times/week → 50% lower cardiovascular mortality (and 40% lower all-cause mortality) These associations held after adjusting for multiple confounders. It’s one of the most compelling lifestyle habits with strong observational data behind it. Have you incorporated sauna use into your routine? How often, and have you noticed any benefits?

Three "superfoods" that I think everyone should eat weekly, if not daily: Dark leafy greens—they're a great source of magnesium, which most people are deficient in, plus folate and vitamin K. Blueberries—they're rich in polyphenols, which benefit brain health and improve cardiovascular disease risk factors. Just 1 cup per day can improve cognition. Salmon—it's one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Just make sure to opt for wild Atlantic salmon due to its high omega-3 and low mercury content. Eating salmon 2–3 times per week should get you the recommended amount of dietary omega-3.

Federico Chiesa hit his fastest top speed in two years during that 50m sprint to stop a certain Sunderland winner on Wednesday night. The last time he clocked close to that speed, he was playing for Juventus. Performance and Medical staff's jobs have never been harder at the elite end of the game. The intensity and the lack of recovery time between games means players are generally walking an injury tightrope every week. But Chiesa couldn't perform a sprint like this and not get injured unless the fitness coaches at Liverpool were first class at what they do. Hamstring strains are on the rise and account for 24% of all injuries in men’s pro football. The majority of HSIs occur when players run over 25 km/h and above 80% of their maximal speed, and present recurrence rates of 18%. Interestingly, when this injury occurs during a game, it has recently been shown that it is preceded by a short period (5 min) of an unusual amount of running at more than 21 km/h. One of the best injury mitigation tools at your disposal is to make sure that you hit >90-95% of your max speed regularly in training so, when asked to do so in a game under fatigue, you've loaded your hamstrings to take the demands.

Bronco testing at Gallagher Chiefs during Super Rugby preseason. The Bronco is a general aerobic capacity fitness test that can be used for large groups in all sports. Four markers at 0m, 20m, 40m, and 60m. Run from 0m-60m-0m-40m-0m-20m-0m (1 rep = 240m) 5 reps as fast as possible. Beauden Barrett (4min 12) and Hugo Keenan (4min 11) are examples of some excellent times.

When - and how often - should I bathe my baby? For adults bathing is typically a daily event. But your newborn doesn’t need a daily bath. In fact, too much bathing can quickly dry out their delicate skin. And where it was once commonplace for your baby to be bathed within the first few hours after delivery, many hospitals are moving away from the practice. This is true for a couple reasons. First, babies are born covered in a waxy substance called vernix. Vernix - which protects your baby’s skin in utero - is both a natural moisturizer and an antibacterial barrier that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends be left on infants’ skin in the hours immediately after birth. Hospitals are also increasingly prioritizing maternal bonding and the initiation of breastfeeding over an initial bath. Indeed, one study documented a 166% increase in breastfeeding initiation when infants’ first baths were delayed at least 12 hours after birth. (The World Health Organization recommends waiting at least 24 hours.) At home, it’s recommended that you begin with sponge baths only until your baby’s umbilical stump falls off (if you keep it clean and dry, this will usually happen within two weeks). Once your baby’s ready for a full fledged bath, it’s generally recommended that you begin with warm water and a soft washcloth, avoiding soaps and shampoos for the first 4-6 weeks (and using something gentle, baby approved, and unscented once you do). Even then, it’s best to limit newborn baths to no more than 2-3 times per week to prevent dry skin, increasing frequency over time. This little one was shared to TT by rhiannonfae.
