An initial reaction to "beliefs-based" content may be to categorise it purely as "religious content" and potentially also "content that doesn't affect me". Beliefs-based content is so much broader tha...

When something is presented to you as "fact" or as "science", you're far more likely to believe it or view it in a more authoritative light. Unfortunately, there are near endless places you'll find th...

Often people talk about having “transformations” when they go on their exercise journey. Inevitably, people think of weight loss, before-and-after photos, and possibly a change of attitude or motivation.But lest do most realise the truly monumental physiological changes the body goes through when exercising. From a completely different body composition, brain, ability to “use” what you have (and how efficiently), bones and even how much you need to breathe to get the oxygen you require... Your body when you exercise is different to your body when you do not.In this guide series, we’ll be looking at the changes that occur immediately after one exercise session, the changes that occur when you consistently exercise, its effects on your likelihood of having chronic illness and its effects on ageing. Starting with, immediate effects.Don’t skip this one... The changes your body goes through when exercising are genuinely much larger and more all-encompassing than you’d expect!* not written by AI.

This guide should arm you with a deeper understanding of how technology can be used (likely in ways you didn't even realise it could be used!), what context to consider and broadly how you can approach assessing the level of trust you should place in online information.

In many ways the online world is the "Wild West" with lack of regulation &/or enforcement in regards to the spread of info. It's worth noting, even with regulation & enforcement, you can come across similar things offline or even in somewhat "heavily regulated" domains too!

There are many areas within which information can be manipulated or presented in misleading ways. This post outlines 9 of these areas and defines types of online "lies" and how to approach handling them.

Here's an explanation of the systems and the gold standard tests for them, but also some more accessible alternative tests, as many of the gold standard tests are difficult to do without specialised equipment or a booking with an exercise physiologist.

If you want to perfect your skills in sports that focus on using one energy system, you may be poorly budgeting your time by training a different system too much. If you're looking for overall health & longevity, you may find that you excel in one or two of the systems but have neglected the other.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the fact that the Sydney AR community is growing faster than ever. Despite constant limitations on hardware access and being quite far from where much of the big action is happening, Sydney’s AR community is punching well above its weight. 1/8 🧵

The fact that tech like this came in huge headsets, tethered to computers, with extra controllers and sensors only a few years ago, and it now exists, fitting into a light frame of glasses is mind-boggling.

As augmented reality developers and enthusiasts ourselves, it felt like stepping into the ultimate playground of ideas, potential and creation. The biggest announcement of the event was the unveiling of the Snap Specs, which felt like a sci-fi dream coming to reality.

This guide shows some of the best strength tests, normative (reference) data, as well as walks you through ways to train and how to use the results of the tests. This is part 2 of our exercise tests guide series. Make sure to follow for the next instalment.

The Reality Crafters @realitycrafters.bsky.social · 11/06/2026
What is "strong"? Strength can be mental, physical and emotional. When it comes to physical strength, you can test different regions of the body like upper body or lower body, as well as both explosive and endurance strength. #ExerciseTests #FitnessTests #Strength #StrengthTests #StrengthEndurance
