Good morning from #BJSMLive22 everyone

@BJSM_BMJ EiC @DreznerJon and conference Co-Chairs @FionaWilsonf and @osmanhahmed welcoming us in-person and online

I think will be a day of really important Sport and Exercise Medicine conversations, including on:

- PA promotion
- Low back pain
- Safeguarding
- COVID-19
- What should SEM look like in the 2020s?

So proud that our relatively new @UniofBath research centre @CHi2PSBath is so well-regarded and represented at #BJSMLive22

We research injury and illness prevention in sport, and have a stellar team 🤩

#BJSMLive22

I asked the panel about the need for a move from 'female athlete health' specifically to an approach that is more inclusive of gender expansive people

Wonderful to hear @ABSPhysio speak to trans inclusive resources currently in development

#BJSMLive22

Next up: Low back pain in athletes with @KellieWilkie @FionaWilsonf @JaneSThornton with James Foad joining the discussion

And here is a @BJSM_BMJ blog post and podcast episode on empowering patients to take control of their back pain

[CN: harassment and abuse}

#BJSMLive22

Really wonderful to see @JaneSThornton connect the dots by speaking about safeguarding [prevention of harassment and abuse, including harmful coaching practices] *as* secondary prevention in low back pain

We need to talk more about this.

#BJSMLive22

Just had the opportunity to Chair an absolutely brilliant panel of speakers in @evacarneiro @YetsaTuakli @Dr_CMcKay on the topic of safeguarding in sport

[CN: harassment and abuse in sport]

#BJSMLive22 My take-away from this panel? ⬆️

We still have these same problems in the industrial complex that is sport ⬇️

#BJSMLive22

Now we're onto a highly relevant panel about COVID-19 and sport

With @drbobsallis @23Benjones and @_Matt_Green_

What do we know about transmission in sport? And what have we learned? How do we navigate going forwards?

I thought I'd share here a piece I wrote with @Robert_Mann_ @BryanCClift and @JulesBoykoff in 2020 in which we were quite critical of the push to return to mega sporting events, and advocated for athlete-centred decision-making

Rounding out my day at #BJSMLive22 today, I presented in this final panel on the future of Sport and Exercise Medicine

https://twitter.com/BJSM_BMJ/status/1529462428500647937?s=20&t=EcC1e-b5oKMwnk9a0uhrAQ

I presented this work that I shared with you all on Monday, on behalf of our team

And I was once again so very pleased to see this research resonate with my Sport and Exercise Medicine colleagues, as it did with you all here ☺️

https://twitter.com/realscientists/status/1528694475958231040?s=20&t=zcQVAIUZRldkP5O_ia61RA

Here's a picture of me presenting today ☺️

For me *the* talk of the day was from the stellar @DrNoeMkumbuzi

Talking us through how our dominant Western Educated Industrialized, Rich Democratic (WEIRD) lens often has gendered, racialized, & ableist consequences

Also holding space for Indigenous systems of knowledge

🔥

And that rounds out a very full and ultimately very fulfilling conference day!

Thanks for joining me everyone 😅
