First bit of work from my PhD out in publication- final rep velocity has been a great intensity education tool.

Nice to present alongside some talented colleagues on our invited symposia on muscle typology at the @E_C_S_S Congress in Lausanne, Switzerland
Great opportunity for our lab to have been joined by @MartaMurgia and @Phil_Bellinger in this symposium at this year's #ECSS2026!
Really nice longitudinal research from @TeamDerave reporting that youth track-and-field athletes who trained for a discipline that matched their muscle typology attained a better performance at senior level many years later pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4066…

New Research Alert
Excited to share our latest study in the @JSCRonline Well done Andrew Martin on your 1st PhD study @Phil_Bellinger @clareMINAHAN @MBourne5
journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/a…
Highlights: Validated RSS profiling protocols tailored for female athletes.
Optimal load identified: ~59–72% body mass (BM) for peak power (50%Vdec).
Trial distances: 10–30 m for effective profiling.
Key Message: Coaches can now personalise resisted sprint loads for female athletes with the aim of enhancing acceleration and sprint performance.

Fantastic work from @Phil_Bellinger & co, further advancing our understanding of the physiological responses to training. And a great 🧵 from @jem_arnold unpacking it all 👇
Can mNIRS muscle oxygenation be used to estimate peripheral 🦵training load/stress?
Similar to using time >90% VO2max for central 🫀cardiovascular stress
A new paper provides some descriptive data for runners performing HIIT and SIT 1/12🧵 (study 🔗 in alt text👇)
ALT An example of the muscle deoxygenation responses for the 1 km (a) and 400 m (b) session. An ischemia/hyperaemia calibration was performed prior to each session to normalize the NIRS signals, whereby the deoxygenation signal was scaled from 0-100% corresponding to the minimum and maximum during the ischaemia and hyperaemia periods, respectively. Average deoxygenation was greater during 400m than in 1km intervals. Bellinger et al 2025. Maximizing Muscle Deoxygenation during Interval Training in Middle-Distance Runners. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-025-05903-1
On the train to Rimini for @E_C_S_S and enjoying reading the hard copy of @CasteeleFreek PhD thesis. Great body of work

90% of expert coaches and support staff value the use of muscle fiber estimates to individualize training,
But 50% claim to be limited in ability to implement.
It doesn't have to be that way.
50m sprint + 6 minute run starts you on the path
To understanding your squads speed and endurance balance (See athlete A & B).
New survey details below ⬇️
A nice collaboration led by Prof Lievens @eline_lievens assessing the practices and perceptions of high-performance experts regarding the muscle typology of their athletes

I had a great chat with @dsverwey about all things muscle typology and overreaching in runners. Have a listen if interested podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…
Another great @E_C_S_S Congress. Many learnings and most importantly, stronger networks
Great to chat with the guys from @MelbAthDev about muscle typology and training
Is muscle fibre typology the key to excel in sports? We had the privilege to chat with @Phil_Bellinger to discuss some of the cutting edge research on the topic

So much to learn from this series of studies on recovery, overtraining and all things typology! Great work you all.
Nice to highlight some of our research demonstrating the importance of muscle typology on sprint cycling characteristics in elite track cyclists @Thomas_Wackwitz @clareMINAHAN @TeamDerave
