In my opinion the single best parameter that predicts longevity and improves #clinical outcome is #cardiopulmonary #fitness. #VO2Max is an easy way to quantify this. Having a ⬆️ #VO2max & a ⬆️#lactatethreshold could be the difference between life & death during #CoronaOutbreak
It could be the difference between requiring venilatory support and no ventilatory support during this #coronavirus #pandemic. So please who are #QuarantineAndChill please keep your physical activity up! Do some #tabata #HIIT
Lactate inflection point (LIP), is the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of #lactate begins to increase exponentially. It can be improved significantly with regular exercise. #vo2max is the max rate of O2 consumption measured during incremental exercise.
#fitness is a #clinical #vitalsign. @American_Heart published a scientific statement[3] recommending that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), quantifiable as VO2 max, be regularly assessed and used as a clinical vital sign.
This statement was based on mounting evidence that lower fitness levels are associated with high risk of cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality, and mortality rates stemming from various types of cancers ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

When talking about #longevity & #100yearlife I am often asked whether recent UK life expectancy data undermines the need to prepare for longer lives. Here are a few comments explaining why rather than undermine the debate they actually make it more urgent
The rate at which UK life expectancy has been increasing has slowed down in recent years. This is clearly bad news although slowdowns have happened before & its too early to know if this is a long lasting shift in trend or just a temporary slowdown
Because of this slowdown the UK gov has revised downwards life expectancy statistics. Its important to recognise this isn’t saying the current young will see lower life expectancy than past generations. Rather it’s the gains they are expected to realise that have been reduced

I just learnt yesterday about the year 2 student of Unilorin who killed herself because she could no longer bear with her mum. Full details were not given. Bottom line was she felt her mum would change and not do the same to her siblings if she kills herself. #THREAD
1/ As parents, we should be mindful of the standards we set for our kids and our attitudes when they miss those standards. We've failed at one point or another in our own lives and we should be more experienced at our level to know better than give up on our kids.
2/ The society is more "brutal" today than it used to be and the high level of frustration and the low endurance capability is not just a new common trait among adults. It's like that with kids as well. Let's not offload our frustrations on them because we think they're powerless

#Neuroscientists worldwide are increasingly studying #myelin and its amazing impact on rapid #learning, mastery, and neuroplasticity. So keep your circuits strong with deep, focused practice, but remember: #myelination requires quality versus quantity.
What Is #Myelination?
Myelination is the process of “insulating” a new neural pathway to strengthen it and to forge new default #behaviors. Heavily myelinated neural pathways are up to 300 times faster.
They’ve been optimized for speed and #efficiency. Increasing #myelination via intentional #practice helps us become more emotionally agile.

#Bookfie | For a special project @lisahellebo and I are working on this summer.

A holiday is a terrible thing to waste.

Feelings are crucial, much more important than facts.

Understanding the European Elections
- PR by region (except in NI)
- MEPs in each region win their seats according to the d'Hondt method
- Small parties can only get 0-1 MEP per region under d'Hondt
- Threshold to gain an MEP depends on vote distribution *within that region*
- You vote, in your region, for a party not a candidate
- Candidates are allocated from party lists. Each party standing in a region has put forward a list of candidates in a particular order. If they win 1 MEP, the top candidate gets in. 2 MEPs, top 2 candidates get in. etc.
- Better to do well in a particular region or regions than uniformly average (e.g. 7% of the national vote could give a party 0 MEPs if that's also 7% in each region, but several MEPs if it's 15% in a couple of regions and 0% in the rest)
