The recent study by Alvares et al. (2025) published this week (18/02/2025) in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) showed that trans athletes performed similarly to cis athletes. @traceyholmes.bsky.social @thehonestbroker.bsky.social
Another new study of trans athletes and once again, it supports inclusion.
TW volleyball athletes displayed similar exercise performance and biomarkers compared with CW & lower results compared with CM.

Repost from: @them - new BJSM study shows trans women likely don't retain athletic advantages over cis women after hormone therapy. This refutes the logic for blanket bans and counters claims that testosterone-dominant puberty confers permanent physical gains—an argument often used for exclusion.

February was an insane month. Three papers sent to journals.
First one accepted to JAMA and should he published soon.
Second in review at BJSM.

Proud to share our new publication in BJSM, which comes just after we celebrated 2,000 exercise sessions delivered through Addi Moves—a trauma-informed, community-based physical activity program co-designed with and for people experiencing social and economic disadvantage.

Do #PhysicalActivity programmes really work in low- and middle-income countries?
Our recently published systematic review in BJSM suggests yes. The gains are often modest, but they matter, when scaled across populations.

The conclusion they make isn't supported by the data. Hopefully the BJSM will show some integrity and publish the letters they've been sent.
