- Massive congratulations to all teachers who have managed to, with no notice, deliver education this week. If any GCSE or A level PE teachers would like me to deliver a Zoom sport nutrition q&a to help keep learning interesting please drop me a message. If I can help I will.
- I'm being asked so much about The Game Changers on Netflix. I can't help think about this paper. Hint. Please read at least the abstract and Not just the title.
- Great that it’s not an unpaid intern but breaks my heart that this is a salary for someone with experience as a head of sport science. I love my profession but where is it going.
- You really should take this down @thismorning. Surely you have s responsibility to the public. I understand you may not at the time have known this was incorrect but surely by now you have had time to fact check this. Do the right thing.Did you know having a coffee, black tea or even a diet coke before heading to the gym could help you burn fat quickly? 💪 Neither did we until now!
00:00 - Amazing that such a legend of a manager not only values sports nutrition but has taken the time to write an editorial about it.
- Amazing!!! How that can be explained so clearly in 2 mins is insane! Great work Mike.Can metabolism be covered in 2 minutes?! ✅ glycolysis ✅ Krebs cycle ✅ electron transport chain ✅ glycogenesis ✅ lipogenesis ✅ gluconeogenesis ✅ ketogenesis #MedTwitter #MedEd #FOAMed #metabolism
00:00 - Really happy with this one. Worth a read if interested in exercise induced muscle damage and the nutritional solutions. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Great collaborative effort with @dan_owie @JamesNCobley @GlynHowatson
- Really interesting nutrition about team sky nutrition. 1.3kg carbs in a single day. So much for Froome being a low carb athlete!! Almost 19g per kg!! Chris Froome: Team Sky's unprecedented release of data reveals how British rider won Giro d'Italia -
- Perhaps the most ridiculous tweet I have ever read. Ever. Is it any wonder has such a bad reputation by professionals. And I actually like a lot of cross fit but this is insane.Replying to @CrossFit✅ If it has a food label on it, it is not food. You do not see that on the chicken. It is not on the tomatoes. But it is on the chips and cookies. ✅ If it is not perishable, if it says “Best if used before 2019,” it is not food.
- Just been told I cant watch my daughter at sports day (outdoors on a large field) but tens of thousands can watch the football travelling round Europe. If anyone can make sense of this anymore please explain it to me. I'm official lost.
- Congratulations to my partner in crime. The less good looking of the Mitchell brothers. Proud to introduce my good friend and colleague PROFESSOR @JamesyMorton James Morton.
