A few years back the cardiac rehab nurses we work with in Auckland asked us to develop a home-based resistance exercise programme for patients, so we did mdpi.com/3070096 and took an opportunity to write a mechanistic support piece to go with it 🧵

HOWEVER I have made it key to teach my students that the original research is where the focus should be. Combined with that courses I designed had strong practical components to get students to a BASE LEVEL

After identifying poor enrolment as a key issue in the Auckland cardiac rehabilitation service, we designed and tested a MI-CBT informed intervention within routine care. We learned a lot from this trial. Thanks to Lotteries Health for funding this work. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Last week a training partner heard a loud pop, stopped rolling & grabbed his knee, worried about injury… but it was my knee that popped & there was no injury (just normal noisy knees in a 6am jiu jitsu session). Once he realised he laughed & continued the roll. Pain is weird…
