As we age, we need more recovery time. If you take too little recovery time, you will feed more tired than better and not gain lean muscle mass. Connective tissues (ligaments & joints) Recovery may be slower and healing from an injury or a strain. Take time with warm ups and cool downs. Work on mobility around key joints like ankles, hips and shoulders regularly.  Adrenals Prolonged elevated cortisol after a workout is problematic if already chronic elevation of cortisol exists. Estrogen regulates the HPA-axis (cortisol/adrenal signaling) function. Less estrogen reduces the ability to regulate stressors.

His interest in tendons grew from personal injuries and working with military athletes. Understanding tendons requires recognizing their complexity and variability. Different tissues in the body respond to different types of training. Tendons need strain to gain strength and resilience. Training should not just focus on one position or angle. Low intensity durability is crucial for tendon health. High intensity repeatability helps in sustaining performance under strain. The bigger the base of connective tissue strength, the higher the peak performance. Innovative training methods can help address specific tendon issues effectively. Endurance athletes experience significant tendon strain but manage it effectively. Connective tissue behavior is crucial for injury prevention. Genetics play a role in tendon health and injury susceptibility. Assessing connective tissue is essential for understanding injury risk. Training should focus on restoring normal connective tissue architecture. Manipulating load, length, and time is key to adaptation. Static training is often overlooked in favor of dynamic work. Integrating multiple training qualities is necessary for performance. Understanding adaptations is more important than just knowing exercises. Progressive overload is essential for long-term connective tissue health.   Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-138-tendons-with-taylor-starch/

Physical and digital infrastructures have raised tensions around the world, seeding land disputes, climate effects, and disrupting social fabrics. Yet they are also intertwined with myths of progress, transformation, and speculation. To explore these themes, we were joined by Nia Johnson, Ekene Ijeoma, and Lori Regattieri — academics, practitioners, and artists who are each, in their own way, responding to the ways digital infrastructures are transforming the built, natural, and social environments. In a conversation moderated by Trustworthy Infrastructures Program Director Maia Woluchem, we broke down confrontations between technological infrastructures and local communities and discussed how to  reshape narratives of process, power, change, and futurity.This public panel is part of Connective (t)Issues, a Data & Society workshop organized by the Trustworthy Infrastructures program in partnership with Duke Science & Society.

Ever feel like your workouts just aren't delivering the same results anymore? You're training hard, lifting heavy, and doing everything “right,” but somehow, progress stalls. Strength fades. Recovery slows. And your joints? Yeah, they're not loving it either.Here's the truth: it's not your age—it's your approach.That's why I brought in Nick Nilsson, aka The Mad Scientist of Muscle. This guy has spent decades reinventing the way we build muscle, train smart, and stay strong—especially as we get older. His Return to Prime system isn't about grinding yourself into the ground. It's about training smarter, not harder, by optimizing the four key systems that fuel muscle growth.I put his method to the test, and let me tell you—it humbled me in the best way possible.

But, can jobs really be distilled to data points?  In her book, The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World, Prof. Allison Pugh asserts many jobs have a relational component that can't be caught in the metrics.

This week we discuss the basics about a topic several of our guests have spoken about- Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or EDS.   ​Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provide strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in your body. ​The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes received a major overhaul in 2017 and this is what we now know: EDS are heritable connective tissue disorders affecting the quality of collagen in every part of the body. There are now 13 recognized subtypes of EDS, 12 of which are genuinely rare and have the aberrant gene identified. Hypermobile EDS (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) is by far the most common type; these conditions are part of a spectrum and the distinction is hoped to be useful for research, but is otherwise academic. hEDS/HSD is a multi-system disorder which can have a marked impact on health and which may help us to explain apparently mysterious multiple symptoms. Don't let the changing terminology confuse you. 3.4% of the population have generalized joint hypermobility and chronic widespread pain (a proxy for the now obsolete diagnosis of joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS). Patients who in the past received a diagnosis of JHS (or Benign JHS), EDS-Hypermobility Type or EDS Type III would now be categorized as having hEDS or HSD. “If you can't connect the issues, think connective tissues” Non-specific and medically unexplained symptoms are usually real and should not be dismissed It can be easy to make a big difference to the quality of life of some of your most complex patients with a few simple and inexpensive measures, but the journey starts with recognition. The median time from symptom onset to seeking a GP opinion is 2 years and the median time to diagnosis 10 years. If we make an early diagnosis and manage the conditions appropriately, there may be potential to reduce long term disability which can occur from EDS. Enquire about family members; these are hereditary disorders of connective tissue so positive family histories are common. Although no gene has yet been identified, hEDS is primarily of autosomal dominant inheritance. Children can present with symptoms of hEDS/HSD, including abdominal symptoms or growing pains. They may also present with neurodevelopmental disorders such as hyperactivity, inattention, dyspraxia, autistic spectrum disorder, sleep, and food issues, emotional problems, hypersensitivity and anxiety. A low Beighton score does not exclude hEDS/HSD,. Patients stiffen with age so their Beighton score may decrease, although pain may worsen. The extent of multi-system symptoms is not related to the Beighton score. Consider co-existing conditions; In recent years, we have begun to understand more about associated or co-morbid conditions which are frequently found in people with hEDS, including autonomic dysfunction (postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and symptomatic low blood pressure), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

This episode features performance coach and tendon specialist Jake Tuura. Jake is an experienced coach and educator focusing on athlete hypertrophy, vertical jump improvement, and patellar tendinopathy rehabilitation. He spent seven years as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach as well as time in the private training sector. Connective tissue is critical in athletic movement and performance, but its relationship to both performance and the rehab process is still evolving. New research is continually coming out that is molding our understanding of what is really happening “under the hood” in training, and how to optimize processes to maximize tendon health and performance. On today's podcast, Jake explores tendon science alongside athletic performance concepts. He covers ideas on animal tendon properties, age-related tendon changes, tendon stiffness vs. compliance, and the collagen matrix. On the performance end, Jake talks about the impacts of various training means on tendon adaptation, particularly various forms of isometric training, heavy strength training, plyometrics, and more. This was an awesome show connecting the latest tendon science with practical training solutions for healthier tendons and better athletic movement.

So I didn't, I didn't jump at all. It was winter, it was icy out. And then I go back to dunking and (the patellar tendon) blows up again. So it's like the man-made tendon issues are when you change things suddenly.” - Jake Tuura (21:49) "The worst thing you can do is completely take it away and then try to hop back in. I think it's going to blow up or maybe it's going to have a serious injury." - Jake Tuura (28:10) “The tendon gets pulled on and then the tendon has a, the cells have a response to get stiffer. So like if you pull on the tendon, let's say 10% of its resting length, which is a pretty big pull on a tendon. The tendon has this, this adaptation where the cells kick out more collagen. It lays down the collagen, the tendon to get stiffer.” - Jake Tuura (37:00) “Collagen fascicles don't really extend a whole lot. Yeah, like, their strain is very minimal. And the collagen fascicles have this helical rotation, which then is again, more extendability. The helical angle decreases as you get older because the gel is drying up and it becomes more linear.” - Jake Tuura (47:00) “You have to respect the many months process where it's going to reorient t...

It had been ever so lonely out there, deep in the darkness of outer space. There were tall tales which he might be able to one day relive and reconcile but those were not to be told now. Those were to be kept firmly secret, locked away in the confines of his mind. For he had returned but what was out there must not. Down here everything was normal. Life was normal. The people were normal. Every day was just the same. Not like out there... Occasionally he'd see flickers and flashes of the wild, alien like faces he'd left behind amidst the stars. Had they ever been real? Returning was bittersweet. Innate Editions are set to breathe life into a rare gem, a lost classic if you will. They are set to revive Connective Zone's 'Palm Palm', a millennium-era cult classic and Ben UFO favourite. Intelligent dance music, at its very very best.

He explores the impact of posture, the evolution of breathing, and the hydration of connective tissue. This episode dives deep into how our bodies store trauma and the role of fascia in maintaining overall health. ========== OUR GUEST ========== Thomas Myers studied with Drs. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller, and with a variety of movement and manual therapy pioneers. His work is influenced by cranial, visceral, and intrinsic movement studies he made with European schools of osteopathy. An inveterate traveler, Tom has practiced integrative manual therapy for over 40 years in a variety of clinical and cultural settings. Tom is the author of Anatomy Trains (2020, 4th ed), co-author of Fascial Release for Structural Balance (North Atlantic, 2010, 2017), and more. He has also produced over 20 online learning courses with Anatomy Trains and collaborates with body-minded professional groups. Tom and his team deliver professional development courses and certification in Structural Integration worldwide. =========== TOM MYERS ===========
