🕦 Daylight Saving Time Disrupts Athletic Performance
Dr. Nicholas Fabiano shared a study showing Daylight Saving Time disrupts circadian rhythm and worsens sleep quality. The research found DST may negatively impact athletic safety and performance, along with increased stroke incidence and depression after the spring transition. Sleep disturbances during DST disproportionately affect adolescents and those with early start times. Read More

⚾️ VALD on Fatigue and Travel in Baseball
MLB athletes rack up over 40,000 air miles per season, and all that travel wreaks havoc on sleep and recovery. The research is clear: chronic fatigue is linked to reduced strike zone recognition in 80% of teams and shorter careers. Shoulder and elbow injuries remain the biggest culprits for lost playing time, with risk peaking early in the season.
VALD's solution: consolidate everything—physical data, perceptual feedback, contextual info—into one platform. They recommend upper-body isometric testing (ASH test) to catch strength deficits and asymmetries, plus force plate jumps (CMJ, squat jump) to track neuromuscular fatigue across brutal travel schedules. The key is setting smart thresholds that account for individual variability, not just generic 10% drops. Read More
🥤 Ultra-Processed Foods Mess With Kids' Behavior
Dr. Rhonda Patrick shared a study tracking 2,077 Canadian kids that should make parents rethink what's in the pantry. Kids who ate more ultra-processed foods at age 3 showed worse behavior by age 5—more anxiety, depression, aggression, and hyperactivity. UPFs made up nearly half of what these kids ate.
The worst offenders? Sugar-sweetened drinks, breads/cereals, and ready-to-eat meals. But here's the good news: swapping out just 10% of the junk for real food improved behavior scores across the board. The takeaway is simple—what kids eat early matters for how they develop emotionally and behaviorally. Read More
