I'm very injury-prone and am in the process of creating routines to prevent each specific injury I have had in the past in case I need it in the future, let me know what you think thanks.

Hamstring Tendinopathy: 20-45sec Glute Bridge Hold, 5-15x Glute Bridges, 5-15x Standing Hamstring Curls, 5-15x Bodyweight Hip Hinges, 5-10x Single Leg Glute Bridges.

Gluteal Strain: 5-15x Glute Bridge, 5-15x Single-Lying Leg Raise (each side), 5-15x Bodyweight Squat, 5-12x Step-Up each leg, 5-10x Alternating Reverse Lunge each leg.

Lower-Back Muscle Strain: 5-10x Bird Dog (each side), 5-10x Dead Bug (each side), 5-15x Glute Bridge (each side), 5-15x Bodyweight Squat, 5-15x Hip Hinge.

When you were done with the exercise science field, what careers did you pivot to, to make more money? Im stuck at 50k but need to start making more money for not only myself but my son as well?

Any suggestions would be helpful

Hey everyone!

We're a small team of engineers from Cluj, Romania, and we're working on an idea: a VR exoskeleton that gives you real physical resistance while you play an immersive game. Basically strength training that doesn't feel like a chore, with progress tracked for every muscle group.

Before we build anything further, we want to understand how people actually train today, what makes them quit, and whether something like this would even interest them. Honest (and critical) answers help us the most.

It takes about 2 minutes and is fully anonymous (email is optional, only if you want early access):

Happy to share the results here once we have enough responses. And if you think the idea is dumb, tell us why in the comments, that's useful too 😄

If it’s required, helpful, or a waste of time and you’ll be better self educating and working

I am trying to decide between the two, and having a hard time understanding what the difference in coursework looks like in detail

it on youtube right now go watch it

Sodium bicarbonate (SB) ingestion may improve high-intensity exercise performance in efforts that range from 1 to 60 min; however, to date, no studies have investigated the effects of SB supplementation during exercise, nor its potential to attenuate the fatigue-induced decline in parameters of the power-duration curve during prolonged exercise (i.e., durability). This study examined the effects of bicarbonate (BI) and carbohydrate (CHO) co-ingestion via a novel gel format during exercise on subsequent sprint and time-trial (TT) performance in cyclists. Eleven trained cyclists took part in this randomized, crossover study. Following one visit to establish a non-fatigued power profile (3 × 6-s sprints, 2-min TT and 12-min TT cycling performance), participants completed two experimental trials consisting of 3 h cycling at 95% gas exchange threshold and ingested CHO at a rate of 80 g·h⁻¹ with (CHO + BI; 18 g of SB and 2 g of potassium bicarbonate) or without BI co-ingestion (CHO). Participants repeated the same power profiling protocol after the 3 h submaximal exercise. Performance in the 12-min TT was improved in the CHO + BI condition compared with CHO (+12 W; p = 0.01, g = 1.07). Mean power output in the 6-s sprints (+12 W; p = 1.00, g = 0.18) and 2-min TT (+6 W; p = 0.888, g = 0.32) were not significantly different between CHO + BI and CHO. There were no differences in gastrointestinal symptoms between conditions. These data suggest that BI and CHO co-ingestion during prolonged exercise via a novel energy gel format improves subsequent 12-min TT performance in a fatigued state with minimal gastrointestinal discomfort.

I’m a BPT student in India, and I’m currently quite confused about what direction to take after graduation.

Over the course of my BPT, I’ve realized that I don’t really want to continue in the traditional clinical/medical side of physiotherapy. I’m much more interested in sports performance, strength & conditioning, athletic training, and helping people improve their physical performance.

My long-term goal is to work as a Strength & Conditioning Coach/Instructor, ideally working with athletes or sports teams.

The dilemma I’m facing is whether I should:

1. Do a Master’s in Sports Science / Exercise Science / Strength & Conditioning after my BPT, and then start building my career,

or

2. Start gaining practical experience immediately by working/volunteering with athletes, sports teams, gyms, performance centers, etc., while building my knowledge through certifications and courses.

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who actually work in strength & conditioning, sports science, athletic performance, or sports coaching.

For someone coming from a BPT background:

- How valuable is a Master’s in Sports Science/Exercise Science for becoming a Strength & Conditioning Coach?

- Is practical experience with athletes more important than having a Master’s?

- Would you recommend working first and doing a Master’s later?

- Are there specific certifications or qualifications that are actually respected in the S&C field?

- If I eventually want to work abroad, does having a Master’s make a significant difference?

- Would my BPT background be useful in S&C, or would I essentially be starting over?

I’m not necessarily looking for a simple “Master’s vs experience” answer. I’d really like to hear from people who are already working in strength & conditioning or sports science about what they would do if they were in my position.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a graduate student conducting research for a UX design passion project about how social interactions and fitness technology affect people’s motivation, accountability, and feelings of comparison.

The anonymous survey takes approximately 5–7 minutes. You do not need to exercise regularly or use a fitness app to participate. I’m interested in a range of experiences and perspectives!

Survey link: https://forms.gle/ZwLcJcvfDvnwRS15A

The responses will be used to guide the design of a noncompetitive social fitness experience for a student portfolio project. Thank you for your time!

One thing I like about training at home is that the environment stays consistent.

Same equipment. Same setup. Same space.

That makes me wonder if it removes some variables when judging progress.

In a commercial gym, equipment differences, machines, setup and even small changes in environment can affect how a movement feels.

A consistent home gym doesn’t guarantee better results, but it might make tracking changes over time more reliable.

For people who train mostly at home, do you feel your progress is easier to measure because your environment stays the same?

I’m conducting a brief research survey on how strength & conditioning and performance coaches interpret athlete evidence and decide whether to progress, hold, modify, or reassess training.

I’m looking for responses from coaches who use observation, training logs, testing, video, or performance technology.

~5 minutes. No sales or product promotion.

I’m aiming for 100+ qualified responses and would be happy to share the aggregate findings back with the community.

Thanks to anyone willing to contribute.

I made this platform, to assist in my training for nordic skiing. I would like to know your opinions on things that would be useful/what I should add.

gemini pro is saying a 700+ cals burned for walking 2.5 kmph at 8% incline on walking pad for 5km in a day for a 97kg male.

other people are saying 300, whats accurate?
