Why American football’s strength and conditioning doesn’t, and shouldn’t, resemble other sports
Every year it’s somebody in football. A few years back it was a bullying phenomenon in the NFL.

Some get outraged, going so far as to say football is holding back […]
The futility of averages in exercise science research (new info on Schoenfeld’s new study)
September 17, 2018
I recently discussed Brad Schoenfeld’s latest study. I went over the small sample size issue. I would have liked to go more in depth on that, but the paper did not include the results for each individual. Luckily, James Krieger, a coauthor, has published that data.

I’ve previously written, –Wait, former NFL players are healthier than most people? One blurb to catch us up, “The standardized mortality ratio, SMR, is the rate compared to the general U.S. population. At 1.80, […]
Why is the U.S. so bad at soccer?
June 18, 2018
