24.01.2022 Interesting, informative and interactive body map of the risks of physical inactivity. https://theconversation.com/interactive-body-map-physical-i

23.01.2022 We are trying to give the clinic more of an exercise and sports feel There's plenty of memorabilia on the walls but we want to take it further. We are thinking sports movies and documentaries in the waiting room. When We Were Kings and The Last Dance are the clinics front runners at the moment.... What's your must watch? Drop a comment below and let us know.

22.01.2022 Nice article from former Townsville local JCU student and physio who is doing some great things online. Something to keep in mind during the off-season. https://www.linkedin.com//urn:li:activity:658813901854491/

22.01.2022 There is some truth to this http://ow.ly/fz4J50zGOhL

21.01.2022 When you work till 5 but have a game at 6

21.01.2022 Michael Jordan mentioned this in his Hall Of Fame speech which Ive used in a few of my Sports Medicine talks. This and the Goldmans dilemma are particularly interesting Point is athletes mentality with risk vs reward and why sometimes they adopt high risk medical approaches. http://ow.ly/ToRY50zjKQU

20.01.2022 I must admit that I have never thought about it like this. Its an interesting explanation. https://twitter.com/MuscleScien/status/1220832259827126272

20.01.2022 Im not arguing that running technique isnt important but when I see posts like this I do think that we assume the body is more fragile than it really is. https://twitter.com/advantageph/status/1149493822004461568

20.01.2022 This is interesting and important for womens sports. http://ow.ly/k9AG50xNKM5

19.01.2022 How cool is this! http://ow.ly/DbrN50zQVZi?

19.01.2022 Not sports medicine related but an interesting and thoughtful piece showing different sides of the data science re: parenting choices. https://www.nytimes.com//baby-breastfeeding-sleep-training

19.01.2022 Another article along similar lines to the previous one. https://www.theaustralian.com.au//f8f25a02de268c1bd1384526

18.01.2022 Next time I think that I have it hard at work Im going to re-watch this. https://twitter.com/TomHall/status/1184245723212025856?s=03

18.01.2022 Interesting take and perspective re: whats making us fat. https://www.youtube.com/watch

17.01.2022 When Does the New Decade Begin: This Week, or a Year From Now? - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/28/us/what-is-decade.html Some conflict re this? I think not for another year.

17.01.2022 Important read for those who take supplements. "A 2016 analysis of 67 leading brand supplements in Australia found one in five contained substances that are banned in sport. Two products were found to contain such high levels of unlabelled stimulants that they were considered to pose a significant health risk to athletes, the TGA report said. A second study from 2017, found that, of 112 supplements assessed, more than one in 20 contained anabolic steroids that were not dec...lared on the labels." https://www.smh.com.au//a-bit-out-of-control-the-push-to-m

16.01.2022 Food Swaps..... http://ow.ly/zpxw50zGJO6

16.01.2022 Interesting article from FIFA medical network. Often athletes return to sport too soon. IMO theyre good with early stage rehab but dont do enough high quality training and return a little underdone. Extra training sessions decreases risk of re-injury. http://ow.ly/rcVg50xKWGx

15.01.2022 Im not sure whether I deal well with stress or not. For me it depends on the form of the stress. Some stress I deal really well with but other forms I definitely struggle with. https://www.nytimes.com//stress-can-make-you-sick-take-ste

15.01.2022 This is interesting People who were told they ate a more filling meal felt more full and ate less later on! Goes to show how susceptible we are to influence! One part of the problem with the obesity epidemic is that big corporations are actively trying to influence us (through advertising, colours, smells and many other means) in order to buy more food! ... http://ow.ly/28cb50zCgkN See more

13.01.2022 Following on from previous post this is an interesting study with a counter-intuitive outcome... Running marathons may help knees? https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/5/1/e000586

12.01.2022 This is interesting. Clearly not true for everyone and many struggle because it can be intimidating to get started. https://www.businessinsider.com/exercise-makes-you-happie/

12.01.2022 Some good advice especially considering we are in the middle of a North Queensland summer!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3hWv26Bs9E&feature=youtu.be

12.01.2022 This is really smart from Tyson Fury. Other Athletes should take note of the degree of caution he is taking here. He seems to have such a cavalier personality but is taking no risks with impending drug testing that could ruin his legacy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr-oiWbbslM&feature=youtu.be

11.01.2022 This is a great Twitter thread on Achilles tendon rupture, some of the issues with early rehab and the extremely important balancing act early on. Too much = bad but too little = bad . Need to be highly compliant with post operative instructions!!! https://twitter.com/joshrbaxter/status/1329508141801750528

09.01.2022 Visiting the new stadium to inspect the player medical facilities. They look great!!!

08.01.2022 After 10 days, subjects restricted to 6 hours of sleep showed cognitive performance as bad as not sleeping for 2 days straight. However, they didnt report feeling sleepy even as their cognitive performance declined. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12683469

07.01.2022 This is pretty fascinating with important implications. I think the data is reliable and is actually mentioned in Aus cardiovascular guidelines. https://www.cbc.ca//loneliness-public-health-psychologist-

07.01.2022 I think the last two sentences in this article provide great perspective and are probably the most important. "Sure, the details make a difference. But the biggest difference of all is between doing nothing and doing something." https://www.outsideonline.com//strength-training-research-

06.01.2022 Exciting things to come..........watch this space eye_of_an_alpha

06.01.2022 New York Times article on exertional heat stroke in young athletes! Preseason training for many teams back this week. Please keep this in mind. https://www.nytimes.com//the-risk-of-exertional-heatstroke

05.01.2022 Hey guys, I hate doing this but Im really keen to find these people. They helped me out last year but I cant track them down. I have two tickets to the cowboys - broncos game that I was hoping to give them. Any help appreciated. Please DM me.

05.01.2022 A great twitter thread with many other articles linked. Worth a read re: the consequences of how we manage osteoarthritis https://twitter.com/hjluks/status/1202902709147451394?s=03

03.01.2022 The medical profession is pretty (and justifiably) critical when there is a lack of evidence in other professions. A reminder that the medical professional needs to look in the mirror with a critical eye also. http://ow.ly/FXDu50xNkC9

03.01.2022 This is not surprising but is a little disappointing IMO. Sporting success is obviously dependent on talent and grit but access to facilities and coaching etc obviously has a large roll too. Even a cheap sport such as AFL (as opposed to sailing, cycling, equestrian etc) has has significant socio/economic/geographic factors. https://www.theage.com.au//how-private-schools-have-taken-

03.01.2022 Im not the biggest believer in new years resolutions. But if you are here are two articles. 1) some really good goals. http://ow.ly/H1hU50xKWoQ 2) how to go about it. http://ow.ly/vOzs50xKWoS

01.01.2022 I get asked this a bit and it is a point of controversy. Here is one take. http://ow.ly/qvV150xTz44
