Here comes the heat! Turned on the AC in the house yesterday and it's a nice 64° inside. Thankfully, it's going to cool off tomorrow with some showers & thunderstorms expected in the area. In the news this morning, multiple injuries in a "targeted attack" in Colorado, RIP to Loretta Swit, an update on some of the road construction happening in the La Crosse area, a UTV crashed into a K9 squad car, and the Bloomer Brewing Company closed it's doors over the weekend. In sports, the Brewers have won 7 in a row…including a weekend sweep of the Phillies, the Pacers beat the Knicks on Saturday to advance to the NBA finals, the Stanley Cup final begins on Wednesday, Ryan Blaney won in Nashville last night, the Rockies set new record for futility in MLB, and Zion Williamson has been accused of rape & abuse by an ex-girlfriend. Elsewhere in sports, Scott Hanson will be back on RedZone this year, John Brenkus from ESPN's "Sports Science" has died, and the world of boxing has new "sex testing" policies. Talked about what's on TV today and some of the trailers that came out this weekend, including "Happy Gilmore 2" and the new "Frankenstein" film. Plus, the schedule for the final season of "Stranger Things". Very cool story about a recent high school grad who had to work his shift at Burger King right after his graduation ceremony, and another great story about a toddler that was rescued by police after it got onto the luggage belt at an airport. Today is "National Leave Work Early Day", so we looked at some popular excuses for cutting out of work early…and we also discussed a list of things that happened a decade ago. Some food stuff this morning, including jalapenos in your wine, a caviar & cocktail combo that costs $33,000, Starbucks looking for influencers to fly around the world, Did you catch Peyton Manning playing golf this weekend with Scottie Scheffler? Needless to say, it didn't go well for the former Colts QB. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked flight attendant, a bunch of bees that escaped from a semi-truck, a woman who was stealing items from graves in cemeteries, a woman who woke up to a stranger sucking on her toes in Sacramento,and a snake that bit a dude's wiener when he was trying to take a piss.

Rob and Lonzo talk Sports Science and Interview Jon Blau from the Post and Courier
C'est une idée qui circule depuis des années dans le monde du sport : porter un maillot rouge augmenterait les chances de victoire. Cela peut sembler anecdotique, voire superstitieux, mais cette affirmation est en réalité appuyée par plusieurs études scientifiques sérieuses. Couleur de la puissance et de l'agressivité, le rouge pourrait avoir un véritable impact psychologique et physiologique, tant sur les adversaires que sur les arbitres… voire sur les athlètes eux-mêmes.Une première étude fondatrice : les Jeux d'Athènes 2004En 2005, une étude publiée dans la revue Nature par Russell Hill et Robert Barton, chercheurs à l'Université de Durham (Royaume-Uni), a analysé les résultats de plusieurs compétitions de taekwondo, boxe, lutte gréco-romaine et lutte libre aux Jeux olympiques d'Athènes en 2004. Dans ces disciplines, les sportifs étaient assignés aléatoirement à porter un maillot rouge ou bleu.Les résultats sont clairs : les athlètes en rouge ont gagné 55 % des matchs, une différence statistiquement significative. Et plus le niveau était élevé (quart de finale, demi-finale, finale), plus l'avantage du rouge se confirmait. Les chercheurs ont conclu que le rouge pouvait augmenter la perception de dominance ou d'agressivité, influençant à la fois l'adversaire… et le jugement des arbitres.Football, rugby… même constat ?Depuis cette étude, d'autres recherches ont exploré l'effet du rouge dans divers sports :En football, une étude de 2008 publiée dans le Journal of Sports Sciences a examiné les résultats des équipes de Premier League anglaise entre 1946 et 2003. Les clubs portant traditionnellement du rouge, comme Manchester United, affichaient un taux de victoire à domicile de 63 %, contre 55 % pour ceux portant du bleu.En rugby, une étude menée sur le Tournoi des Six Nations a également montré que les équipes en rouge gagnaient légèrement plus souvent, mais les résultats restent discutés.Pourquoi le rouge aurait-il un tel effet ?Les explications avancées sont multiples :1. Psychologie évolutionniste : dans la nature, le rouge est souvent associé à la dominance (pensons à la coloration de certains primates ou oiseaux). Les humains pourraient avoir hérité de cette sensibilité.2. Effet psychologique sur l'adversaire : le rouge pourrait inconsciemment intimider ou provoquer une surestimation de l'agressivité de l'autre.3. Influence sur les arbitres : des tests ont montré que des juges donnent des scores plus élevés à des sportifs portant du rouge que du bleu, dans des situations visuellement identiques (Hagemann et al., 2007).4. Effet sur la performance du porteur : se sentir plus fort ou dominant en rouge pourrait améliorer la performance, par effet placebo ou confiance accrue.ConclusionIl ne suffit pas d'enfiler un maillot rouge pour gagner, bien sûr. Mais les données montrent que dans certains contextes sportifs, le rouge peut fournir un petit avantage psychologique, notamment dans les sports d'opposition ou lorsqu'un arbitre doit trancher. Une preuve supplémentaire que le sport se joue autant dans la tête que dans les muscles. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
The 2025 NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition, an intensive 4-week accelerator programme for student entrepreneurs, which is now in its 11th year, has commenced today at University College Dublin (UCD) with 11 early-stage ventures and 22 participating students. The participating ventures are focused on a wide range of business ideas including; sustainable agriculture, robotics, edtech, smart sensing systems for healthcare, sustainable fashion and music. A €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize, sponsored by Terra Solar, is available for the overall winning venture at the end of this year's competition. The accelerator programme is run by NovaUCD, the innovation and start-up hub, as a framework to support UCD undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to work together to develop and grow start-up companies. The aim of the accelerator is to assist the students in refining their start-up ideas through a series of structured workshops, including taught content from industry experts, interactive workshops, regular mentoring and pitching sessions. Caroline Gill, Innovation Pathway Manager at NovaUCD who manages the competition said, "Over the next month we will be supporting the participating student entrepreneurs as they begin the process of accelerating their business ideas into early-stage start-ups. A key objective of this annual competition is to provide the students with the skills, the confidence, and the opportunity to further develop their ideas and hopefully in time launch their start-ups in Ireland and even internationally." The 4-week accelerator, which uses the Lean Startup and Business Model Canvas approach, includes a series of structured and interactive workshops delivered by Raomal Perera, Lean Disruptor. Topics such as, customer development; value proposition; working in teams; design thinking; prototyping, environment mapping; financial planning and effective fundraising and pitching, will be covered. At a final workshop, to be held in late-June, the participating ventures will pitch to a judging panel. Based on the evaluation of the presentations an overall winner will be selected and will receive the €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize sponsored by Terra Solar. At the end of the 2024 competition physiotherapists Rory Lambe and Ben O'Grady, both then masters students in the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science, were announced as winners of the Tech Sustainability Prize. Clia, their early-stage venture, aims to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people with cardiovascular disease by combining clinical data with wearable technology to improve its management. Rory is now a PhD student and earlier this year to further develop Clia he was one of several UCD students selected to participate in Conception X, a nine-month venture programme in London, focused on supporting PhD students from the UK and across Europe, to turn their research into deep tech start-ups. Fourteen (14) postgraduate and 8 undergraduate students are participating on this year's accelerator programme. Over 80 early-stage ventures and some 200 students have completed NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competitions to date.

You asked, so I'm answering girl—how the hell do we fuel properly for sprinting? There's a lot of noise out there. Some say “sprints are short, so you don't need much.” But if you've ever sprinted properly—I mean real, all-out, full-body-on-fire kind of sprinting—you'll know that's not true. In this EP, I break down the exact science behind the three energy systems your body uses when sprinting (yes, three—not just one), and then I walk you through how I actually fuel for sprint sessions. I'm talking about real strategy—not theory—what I eat, when I eat it, and why. I'll show you how fuelling well can make the difference between power and burnout. Between flying and flailing. If you're training for performance (or aesthetics), this is a game-changer. Key Takeaways: What energy systems power sprinting (ATP-PCr, glycolytic, and aerobic) Why creatine and carbohydrates are essential for short, explosive efforts What to eat before, during, and after a sprint session for peak performance The difference between fuelling for general training vs sprint-specific sessions How under-fuelling kills your power output and stalls your progress A step-by-step breakdown of my own pre-, intra-, and post-sprint fuelling strategy Why most women aren't actually sprinting hard enough to need advanced fuelling—but how to work up to it How to personalise your sprint fuelling plan based on your intensity, duration, and recovery needs Quotes: “Trying to sprint without fuel is like pushing the gas pedal with an empty tank—it splutters and stalls. That's your body under-fueled.” “It's not just about pre-workout meals. How you fuel across the day—and week—builds your power, not just your plate.” “You don't earn power with discipline. You earn it with precision—and food is part of that precision.” “Most women aren't sprinting hard enough to need intra-workout fuel. But if you are? A couple of dates and some EAAs might just change the game.” “Science is great—but experience is better. I've spent the last year testing this on my own body. Here's what works.” Studies, Research & Protocols Mentioned Smith-Ryan, A.E., Fukuda, D.H., Stout, J.R., et al. (2021). "Creatine Supplementation in Women's Health: A Lifespan Perspective."

Today's podcast features Steffan Jones. Steffan is a trailblazing fast-bowling coach and ex-pro cricketer, known for his integrative, creative, data-backed training methods. A former Somerset and Kent bowler with over 200 wickets, he's the last dual-sport pro from English cricket and rugby. With degrees in Sports Science and coaching certifications, Jones founded Pacelab, blending biomechanics and constraint-led training. He's coached for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and joined Ludimos in 2024 as Strategic Advisor, pushing fast bowling into the future. Among the various training sub-modalities, isometric work stands out as a low-risk, high-reward method that minimally interferes with an athlete's high-speed capabilities on the field. In today's episode, Steffan explores a range of topics related to isometric training and athletic performance, with a special focus on fast-bowling velocity. He discusses both long-duration and overcoming isometrics, offering insights on how to incorporate these techniques into sport-specific training programs. Additionally, Steffan delves into complex training methods, pre-fatigue strategies for elastic output, and collision-based training concepts. This episode emphasizes key principles for blending general strength with elite sport performance.

(18:41) "A lot of people don't understand that the long isos, when you get fit enough, strong enough, resilient enough, they're actually recovery." (23:11) "Anything below 80% intensity, the brain sees as a different skill." (37:34) "But my back foot contact, because that's a long ground contact time, my back foot contact around the ankle is short duration." (39:02) "That's the problem with isometrics. Unless you've got a sort of a dynamometer or a force deck, You have no knowledge of results. So it's pretty boring and the brain switches off as such. But yeah, obviously I use different stuff. I use G Strength and Remaker and all those (to measure force)” (47:30) "And collisions are not going to be improved by doing concentric work. Collisions are going to be improved by doing eccentric and isometric work." (52:35 "If I have a knee-dominant bowler who's who takes a long time to get warm, who's who's fast twitch or their intermediate fibers do most of the work. They never get to their fast twitch fibers. So then a pre fatigue complex would be great for them. And they go really do a, do a set of 10 squats and then expect them to bowl. Yeah, it works. Do us do a 200 meter run and then expect them to do an explosive bowl. But have you tried that? That is such a great feeling." About Steffan Jones Steffan Jones is a globally renowned fast-bowling coach, celebrated for his innovative, science-driven approach to cricket performance. A former professional cricketer, Jones played as a fast-medium bowler for Somerset, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, and Kent,
