    The newest review on injuries in weightlifting and powerlifting was just published in December 2024. It updates the previous review (which included research up to 2015), and I’m very excited to bring you this interview with the first author, Matthew Tung.

    Matthew is a first-year student in the Physical Therapy program at the University of Southern California. Born in Hong Kong, he moved to the United States for high school and has spent the past nine years dedicated to Olympic weightlifting. Most recently, he represented Hong Kong at the 2024 Asian Championships in Uzbekistan. In addition to his athletic pursuits, he worked as a research assistant for the Hong Kong national fencing team in preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Matthew is passionate about combining his love for Olympic weightlifting with his professional goals in physical therapy and research, striving to advance athletic performance, foster scientific innovation, and improve injury prevention.

    Ninety-six percent of practitioners in high-performance sports perceive mental fatigue and recovery as having a significant impact on training and competition performance; however, only about 12% feel very knowledgeable on the topic. In this interview, Dr. Suzanna Russell explains what mental fatigue in athletes is, how it develops, and—most importantly—how to recover from it optimally.

    Dr. Suzanna Russell is a postdoctoral research fellow investigating mental fatigue and recovery in partnership with the Australian Institute of Sport and the Queensland Academy of Sport. Suzy is an Accredited Sports Scientist with Exercise & Sports Science Australia and has previously worked as a performance analyst with the Brisbane Lions and the Queensland Firebirds. Her research focuses on mental fatigue, recovery, and cognitive performance.

    How do elite weightlifters jump? How much do they squat? Do jumps and squats even matter for elite weightlifting performance? Dr. Marcos Soriano will address these questions as he discusses his latest research on the correlations between neuromuscular capabilities (such as jumps and squats) and elite weightlifting performance.

    Marcos is a sports science lecturer and an educator for weightlifting coaches in Spain. He previously appeared on the Evidence Strong show, discussing the relationships between split jerk performance and other jerk derivatives.

    Enjoy!

    What if I tell you that you can measure in real-time how fatigued your lifter is getting with their training? And then use this knowledge to adjust (or not) their training plan for the next week. Paulo Antunes has just published a study that proves it's possible.

    Paulo is a former coach of the national Portuguese weightlifting team, a college professor, and a weightlifting teacher. He is also currently doing this PhD in training control.

    Enjoy!

    Does coaching need to change between female and male athletes? If so, in what aspects? Do females and males communicate differently? Dr. David Nolan addresses these questions in detail, including challenging topics such as the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

    Dr. Nolan is a strength and conditioning coach and an assistant professor of sport and exercise science at the School of Health and Human Performance at Dublin City University. His research focuses on exercise physiology, with a particular interest in sex differences and the female athlete.
