For a full answer you'll need to read the 5th Edition of @LoreofRunning1 currently in the process of final editing for @HumanKineticsPE. In the meantime here is an old article that gives you some ideas of what is involved: frontiersin.org/journals/phy…

I really enjoyed doing The Real Science of Sport podcast. We had an in depth discussion about some of the controversies for older athletes including cardiac fibrosis, atrial fibrillation and coronary calcium.

How accurate is the VO₂max number on your watch? Help me find out properly.
I’ve been digging into what VO₂max really tells us about performance and longevity, and why the number on a wearable is ultimately an estimate built on a chain of assumptions.
I’ve written up what I’ve learnt. But rather than stopping at the theory, I want to run an open VO₂max experiment.
You can connect your wearable data, see different VO₂max estimates, and help me understand how these methods perform across lots of real people and real-world data.
I’m especially looking for people who have had a proper CPET with a measured VO₂max in the last six months. If that’s you, you can add your lab result so we can compare the wearable estimates against a genuine physiological measurement.
All data used in the analysis remains anonymous.
If you’re curious about your own numbers, or you’ve recently suffered through a VO₂max test in a lab, I’d love you to take part.
I’ve added the article and experiment links below.
You get to see your numbers. I get some data to do science with. Hopefully we all learn something.

Congratulations to all getting their A levels today and of course huge congratulations and welcome to all now set to come to study Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Leeds. See you next month…. #Leeds #sportsscience

He called his shot—and did it!
On Saturday, July 18, Josh Kerr of Great Britain ran 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League to break Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old world record in the mile.

Exceptional performers: 2 discrete populations over time
"Most early top performers do not become top performers at peak age and, perhaps more notably, most top performers at peak age were not early top performers."

Marathoners, you can rest easy.
A 10-year study published in JAMA Cardiology found that post-marathon heart changes are temporary and don't translate into progressive dysfunction, debunking concerns about marathon heart damage in recreational runners.

An incredible #PhysiologyWeek celebrated at @HullYorkMed with their healthy study assessing cardiovascular risk! Great work🎉
Seems almost too good to be true! Chocolate (well cocoa flavanols) can reverse age effects on the left atria and ventricle. A potentially popular finding! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Caffeinated Coffee Consumption or Abstinence to Reduce Atrial Fibrillation
The DECAF Randomized Clinical Trial
In this clinical trial of coffee drinkers after successful cardioversion, allocation to consumption of caffeinated coffee averaging 1 cup a day was associated with less recurrence of AF or atrial flutter compared with abstinence from coffee and caffeinated products.
