1/9 Resistance training with varying numbers of variables (load, sets, weekly frequency) potently increases muscle strength and mass.
However, the optimal approach for strength and hypertrophy is still up for debate.
This is the most up-to-date research on it.
Thread. 2/9 Designing a resistance training plan involves multiple variables. Which combination is best?
That's where the research is still inconclusive. #ExerciseScience #StrengthAndConditioning

Osteoarthritis is degenerative joint disease that leads to pain, stiffness and loss of function.
These are the latest insights into the pathogenesis and management of osteoarthritis.
🧵
@ArthritisFdn @arthritis_care @ArthritisSoc @ArthritisDigest In OA trials, understanding and managing 'placebo responses' is crucial.
To improve OA clinical trials, we need to grasp placebo responses, identify responders, and leverage insights for better outcomes.
Utilising placebo effects could enhance OA symptom management.
