Great presentation by Liam Houlton from Cardiff Metropolitan University at #BASESBIG25 on rest redistribution on vertical jump.

Support for longer rest redistribution:
👉🏻Alleviating fatigue
👉🏻Avoiding movement pattern interference

But not for overall effect for vertical jump height.

Great presentation from
Jo Wootton @ljmuofficial.bsky.social at #BASESBIG25 on safe stair negotiation interventions.

Key points:
👉🏻No studies assessed #fall rates
👉🏻Interventions implemented with little effectuveness evidence
👉🏻More feasible interventions needing #research

👏🏻

Our conclusion:

'an urgent need for the @gmcuk.bsky.social & RCOG to.. ensure that trainees are better equipped to meet their surgical training objectives'

timely supports RCOG's report

We found

👉GS trainees performed better than O&G trainees in all core laparoscopic psychomotor skill measurements
👉No differentiation between groups for the simpler surgical tasks
👉Increased training experience was crucial to develop the more complex surgical tasks

Recommendations included
👉Simulation & virtual training
👉Re-prioritising training
👉Lifelong learning

The report supports our recent

Παρουσίαση σήμερα στη διαδικτυακή συνάντηση των επαγγελματιών υγείας των δομών για άτομα με άνοια.

Πολυ θετική συζήτηση και ενδιαφέρον να εξετάσουμε αν και πως μπορεί να προωθηθεί η επιτραπέζια αντισφαίριση ως μια δραστηριότητα για άτομα με άνοια.

Thank you BASES for the opportunity to present at #BASESCON24 our @EUErasmusPlus funded project #TableTennis training results on people with #dementia

Great discussions which can help us move this idea forward in an even better way.
