This is a very personal subject for me. As someone who has Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), I have always had an intuitive sense that movement was important to my ongoing wellbeing. This research paper,"Effects of exercise therapy in axial spondyloarthritis: A systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of randomized trials" by Zhang et al (2024) is so important in many ways:
1) Building the evidence base for exercise as a therapy;
2) Providing evidence as motivation and reassurance to sufferers that exercise is beneficial
3) Starts to address the strange space whereby those who exercise are deemed 'fit' in every other aspect when it is simply not the case. The best example is trying to explain why despite overwhelming fatigue an AS sufferer will still persist in exercising in some way.
This is just my opinion. For some really good science based analysis check out painscience.com -it's where I picked up this lead from! 🙏

Great post to read for all our female athletes. I would encourage you to follow Dr Stacy Sims as she is an incredible resource for information on all aspects of training for women.

Posted • NEW BLOG POST >>> Restricting Carbs Hurts Performance and Health

Want to avoid LEA and REDs? Eat enough carbohydrates.

As fasting, keto, and carb-phobia continue to be promoted across social media, we’ve seen an uptick in low energy availability (LEA) across the spectrum of athletes. In my own work, I’ve found about 55 percent of individuals who are training every day are in low energy availability. And females are especially at risk.

As I’ve written about previously, LEA is a problem I see every day, and if it isn’t caught in time, it can sometimes lead to irreversible damage to your health, such as dangerously low bone mineral density. Avoiding LEA starts with eating enough.

If you know your body composition, you can start with using the equation for determining energy availability (EA), which is your dietary energy intake (kcal) minus your exercise energy expenditure (kcal) divided by your fat free mass (FFM) in kilograms (kg). You want the final number (EA) to be over 45 calories per kilogram of FFM; 50 calories per kilogram FFM is a good number to aim for if you train regularly. Anything less than 30 calories per kg is defined as LEA, and at that point you start experiencing health risks after only five days.

This is what we train for and support people with their training for. It’s not fitness - it’s good health.
It’s not necessarily about huge mileage, elevation or an enormous challenge. What it is though, is having the “fitness” to call on to be able to head out and enjoy these adventures.
Nearly 4 hours in the saddle, fuelled sufficiently and “fit” enough to manage more should it be needed. We want to support people to have the good health they can call on for these micro adventures.

Posture correction - something we are asked about over and over again be it within the realm of strength and conditioning, massage therapy, Pilates and yoga. So often clients refer to their posture, or their bodies as ‘bad’, ‘weak’ or out of alignment. We are all naturally asymmetric and our bodies are way stronger than we think they are… posture is an adaptation to lifestyle, habits, moods, biochemistry… an enormous multi-factorial web of influences.

The relentless repetition of the postural analysis process continues to be an enduring features of so many training programmes - searching for the misalignments responsible for our pain or discomfort. But what does the actual balance of scientific evidence say? I’m not qualified to offer the full analysis but I do know there are some fantastic resources out there which continually update those who are interested in current thinking and best evidence based practice. And what is clear is that posture is much less important than we think (*** much LESS important not unimportant ***)

And this is why at Nomad, we look to work with clients across all aspects of well-being - not just the lifting and cardio, but recovery, nutrition, mindfulness …

But we also support self-education and to that end want to promote fantastic resources which are available to you. So checkout and website www.painsience.com . Fantastic, readable, science based info.

Lifting Heavy - essential stimulus for us all as we move past 40. Muscle loss or sarcopenia impacts us all and delivering the external stimulus to our bodies to encourage muscle growth is essential.

For women especially in the perimenopause and menopause lifting heavy not only supports muscle growth, but also bone health and delivers metabolic benefits which help reverse the tendency for laying down visceral fat. So many benefits.
