This time with a working clip! Check out a recent piece on Channel10 news featuring our @SportsMedicineJ study focusing on sex and gender inequities in resistance training guidelines. Original paper ⬇️ link.springer.com/article/10.100… Conversation article ⬇️ theconversation.com/new-study-much…

New piece in the @ConversationEDU from me and @DrStrength4Life chatting about plyometrics 🦘 theconversation.com/what-are-plyom…

One month into recruitment and we only need TWELVE more participants for our RCT! See below for more information.

First participant randomised and next 10 booked in for baseline assessments! The trial is well and truly underway 🙌

I also find it highly amusing that many of those who won't let go of the narrative that creatine is awesome for LBM keep sharing OUR meta as proof this is wrong...where none of the studies included a washin... which is why we then did THIS study! Come at me confirmation bias😆

Hah! Too many posts/misinfo to keep up. In summary... No-creatine is not worthless No-this was not a meta No-we did not use a placebo No-we didn't say take truckloads Do I think a washin matters?-Yes Do I think creatine has limited impact on LBM?-Yes Do I still take creatine?-Yes

Given that muscle is somewhere between 40-60% of DXA lean mass... the lack of lean mass difference would be even less with Creatine supplementation... we've know for sometime that Creatine's. Effects are small. This study underscores the point 🤷🏻‍♂️

The effect of creatine on lean body mass with or without resistance-training 💪 This new study recruited 63 participants (34 females + 29 males) who were randomised into two groups… 1️⃣ Creatine (5 g/day for 13-weeks) 2️⃣ Control (no creatine or placebo) Both groups started…

Great work! Really looking forward to future, longer-term studies that actually measure muscle growth (including mechanisms) from creatine. The nuances of lean body mass are endless and so misleading 🤓

Out today! our new study highlighting the need for a washin phase when studying creatine and muscle growth. We show that the effects of creatine at standard doses may be overestimated due to methodological flaws. @darrencandow @asmithryan @imtiazdesai unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

I’d like to be clear; I didn’t contribute to this article & my work has been misrepresented. Genuinely sad to see the same myths doing the rounds again. I’m happy to speak with any journalist who’d like to accurately represent the science & women’s sport theguardian.com/football/2025/…

We are bringing our Members Connect series to Canberra! Very excited to invite Franklin Women members to join us at @theAIS for an exclusive in-person members meetup on Wednesday 2 April 🏃‍ More info and registrations here 👉 franklinwomen.com.au/event/members-…

What is callisthenics? And how does it compare to running or lifting weights? New from @DrStrength4Life and myself in the @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/what-is-callis… via @ConversationEDU

Really excited to see our editorial on improving sex and gender research in exercise science and sports medicine published in @BJSM_BMJ

Really proud to have contributed to this piece led by @ADHagstrom.

Bravo to @ADHagstrom for leading this important piece. We (@J_ParsonsUofM & @steph_coen) are so pleased to have contributed. Science is better with sex and gender!

Nice to contribute to this piece on pre-workouts! Pre-workout myself I just like some caffeine☕️ and some delicious carbs🥯, then I will have some creatine and make sure I have adequate protein throughout the day. Simples! abc.net.au/news/health/20…

Deadline for the next intake of this course delivered by a world wide group of experts closes on the 1st of Feb!

I really don’t know what to say, which is a new experience for me! I’m a bit overwhelmed! Thanks @fi_tomas_ for choosing me. Also huge thanks to everyone I work with (at the Centre of Excellence for Women in Sport @McrInstSport @UKSportsInst); it takes a village to do research!
