work experience@sports academy
i have started work experience at the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS).
QAS provides elite athletes with expert coaching and cutting-edge support services.
The academy will also be the only state-sponsored Centre of Excellence for Applied Sport Science Research.
QAS has now re-located from South Brisbance to Nathan (old ANZ [QEII] stadium) with bigger and better facilities.
i look forward to challenge myself here.

HR rhythm monitoring
Dr. Ary Goldberger, a heart researcher in Harvard Uni, who has found
a way to turn heartbeats into music and then use this music as an aid to diagnosing the person's heart.
the idea may be used to monitor athletes' HR leading to diagnose overtraining.

biological markers for overtraining
Pathol Biol
nothing special in this review and similar to review papers such as this and this.
we need a breakthrough paper which can lead to a new paradigm in the field of overtraining.

unexpected results@Guardian
Scientists often think the public will believe anything when it comes to
new research, but studies show that this viewpoint is unproven

finally...
i have submitted PhD thesis today.
it was nearly 3 years of hardworking.
the story of my thesis is:
1. individual differences exist in response to elite athletes' conditioning (training + recovery activities)
= used single-case research designs
2. their training load, recovery, performance, and performance readiness are fluctuating daily
= used randomization tests to analyze mean differences between training phases
3. the fluctuation has trends
= used time series analysis (e.g. ITSACORR)
4. coaches and sports scientists want to predict athletes' performance and performance readiness
= used mathematical models (e.g. dynamic factor analysis and structural equation modeling).
i strongly believe my approach will change the way we assess elite athletes' conditioning.
it's not over yet (needs 2 months of thesis examination),
but feels great to accomplish something really BIG!
thank you all for your support.
