Sat 11th Jan will be live on the AASPT Sports Performance ‘Casual Chats’ talking about my PhD work, hamstrings, likely some tendons, and probably some adjacent topics.

Link can be found on their Insta page but will try to post here nearer the time.

Our new paper, led by @oohgpwales.bsky.social:

Muscle weakness post-COVID: a practical guide for primary care

Thesis title: Adaptation of #hamstring muscle-tendon geometry to injury and training.

Good morning/afternoon/evening all! Apologies in advance for the spam while I backfill some posts and get this up and running. Enjoy your Sunday.
