New review where we discuss whether resistance training (RT) helps or hinders performance in speed and endurance sports?

We discuss how certain RT adaptations might boost but also impair performance!

What is the most efficient way to run according to science?

Why this review?

Studies examining associations between running technique and running economy (RE) report inconsistent findings.

Here, we determine associations between running technique and RE in 51 studies (1115 runners)! and explore potential causes of inconsistency.

New FREE paper in which we compare #hamstring fascicle behavior and muscle forces between the Nordic hamstring exercise, Roman chair and deadlift

@kenneth_meijer @BeBiomech @SamVanRossom @NMS_UM @HumanMoveSci_UM @kenneth_meijer @BeBiomech @SamVanRossom @NMS_UM @HumanMoveSci_UM Low strength and short fascicles are risk factors for hamstring injuries. These risk factors can be modified using many different exercises.

However, which exercise is most effective to specifically modify selected risk factors?
