🎉 It’s finally here! 🎉 After 5 years of on-and-off work, I am excited to announce our systematic review investigating the relationship between hip strength and hip and knee kinematics during single-leg tasks is officially published! 📚✅ tandfonline.com/eprint/6HSPN…

🔑 moderate-to-strong evidence isometric hip strength is NOT correlated with hip and knee kinematics for uninjured and injured populations

Defense ✅ Couldn’t have done it with the fantastic mentors and collaborators I have had the privilege to with with and learn from #youwillrunbetterintoledo
It is my honor to introduce Dr. Micah Garcia (@run_mcg) following his successful dissertation defense! @UToledo_MAINLab is proud of your great work! Thanks to the committee (@emilykrausmd @Grant_Norte @AmandaMurrayPT #BryanHeiderscheit) and all those who have supported him. 👏🏃

🏃🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️Does running footwear type matter? @UToledo_MAINLab is recruiting youth runners to participate in a study investigating how different types of shoes affects running mechanics. 👇 to see if you/your child qualify: bit.ly/UToledoFootwearStudy

Thankful for the opportunity to share the fun work with youth runners I've been involved in since joining @UToledo_MAINLab 🚀🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃 Wouldn't be possible without the amazing support from friends and family, mentors, and collaborators!
Great recognition of @UToledo_MAINLab PhD student @run_mcg by @UToledo. Well deserved for sure! 👏👏👏 @UToledoCHHS

Always great to collab with this group! More evidence to be cautious using blanket recommendations for "ideal" cadence (cough cough 180 steps/min), especially for adolescents
Excited to share our latest work from @CincyKidsOTPT running study! 50 days free access via link. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ftLV…

The fascinating #markerless content at #NACOB2022 had us excited to play around with #OpenCap! Thanks for running @haley_burkeatc 🏃‍♀️🚀 app.opencap.ai/session/8e5d6… @MadelineATC @Sam_Rosario_ @UToledo_MAINLab

Great to be back in person for #NACOB2022! 🗝️ points for high school runners 1) lab 🚫 wild 2) typical running sessions (set distance/time) may be more demanding than hard running sessions 3) reliance on longer step length (not cadence) to run faster

🗝️ point 1: lab 🚫 wild When told to run at a comfortable speed (not an easy/recovery pace nor a race pace), high school XC runners ran 30-60 seconds faster per mile in the lab than during running sessions in the wild

It’s Xmas in July! Thank you to #NikeSportsResearchLab for the opportunity to investigate the influence of footwear on running mechanics in adolescents 👟 🏃‍♀️ 🏃🏻‍♂️ 🚀

How cool is that to include crocs in the comparison 🤣
Lab comparison of one person running in all the supershoes... (and crocs)

⚠️ moderate relationships between #GPSwatches and #RunningJournals for distance and duration ⚠️ mean difference of ~1 km and ~5 minutes between #GPSwatches and #RunningJournals ⚠️ poor relationships between wrist-based #HeartRate and #RPE
