3 factors can explain most of the variation in individual responses to HReT: measurement error, within-person biological variability, and true effect of the intervention 🙌Casper Soendenbroe for generating these data from another @ismcopenhagen.bsky.social study! journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Heavy resistance exercise training in older men: A responder and inter-individual variability analysis

Background The extent of inter-individual variability in response to heavy resistance exercise training (HReT), and the possible existence of non-responders, remains unclear. This study aimed to deter...

Big congrats to Max Ravn Merkel who successfully defended his PhD today on the topic of tendinopathy, backed by a strong team of supervisors and challenged by sharp opponents Profs Paul Ackermann 🇸🇪 and Jess Snedeker🇨🇭 🙌🥳🙌

🚨This morning’s good news is that Max Merkel’s paper Increased Blood Flow and Tendon Swelling Precedes Vascular Expansion and Tissue Matrix Changes In Early Human Tendinopathy: A Potential Window for Superior Treatment Response is now online! 🥳🎅🎄 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Increased Blood Flow and Tendon Swelling Precedes Vascular Expansion and Tissue Matrix Changes In Early Human Tendinopathy: A Potential Window for Superior Treatment Response

Human participants with early- or chronic-stage tendinopathy and healthy controls are investigated using ultrasound Doppler, 3T and 7T MRI, and tendon biopsies. Tendon swelling and hyperperfusion are....

Yesterday, Christian Couppé defended his doctorate of medical science (DMSc) investigating the Effects of Loading on Human Tendon in Health & Disease. Big thanks to the opponents Taija Finni & @larslandersen.bsky.social, chair Per Hölmich, & Jørn Wulff Helge for leading the ceremony 🥳 Congrats!

Two guest lecturers today! Håvard Visnes and Taija Finni give us new perspectives on the treatment of tendon ruptures, tendinopathy and ACL injuries.

New results presented at this morning's meeting by Birgitte Hougs Kjær from her impressive #PASEtrial testing treatment options for patients with chronic rotator cuff tendinopathy👏👏

Day 2 of the Matrix Biology PhD course and we’re in the new Fælleshuset building starting our group work brain storming. Thanks to @douglaspdyer.bsky.social and @tranejoan.bsky.social for laying the foundations of ECM biology in yesterday’s lectures!

Our tendon enthusiasts @ccstorytime.bsky.social & @annesofieagergaard.bsky.social are in Nanjing, China for an international meeting focused on orthopedic surgery and sports medicine talking about their approach with circadian rhythms and exercise-based treatment on tackling tendinopathy ⏰🏋️‍♀️ #tendon

This morning we had a special lecture from Linette Marie Kofod who talked about her PhD where she looked at the effect and importance of delivering the right amount of oxygen to chronic COPD patients. There were lots of interests and a great discussion!

This morning we have a presentation from Kenneth Mertz about relative energy deficiency in sports, the myths around the topic, the sparse literature and how they aim to investigate REDS in athletes 💪🥗🏋️‍♀️ Check out his most recent work on effect on bone 🦴 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/...

Can green proteins match animal protein in supporting muscle health after menopause? Congratulations to @grithhojfeldt.bsky.social on receiving nearly DKK 4 million from the @novo-nordisk.bsky.social to investigate sustainable proteins, strength training & healthy aging in women. 👏🌱🥛🧬
