I’ll need to find the actual article but found it interesting that there’s a growing amount of published literature of bjj, mma health effects

I'd assume given the study design and number of participants, the times by technique are not statistically significant.

Yes, design critiques aside. I’m just tickled they studied and published this period

Findings of the study
Whoever was doing the triangle choke was terrible at triangle chokes. That should have been way, way lower. Who did the chokes? This guy:

Another question is that considering the recent talks about strangles and strokes... How the hell did they get an ethics committee approval for that study?!?

I am a little skeptical of the study for as I am thinking just for basic liability and health reasons it could be a huge issue.. Also how to the consistently monitor exactly how the choke is being technically applied.. Just way to many variables .. The last thing by personal experience in these chokes it doesn't make sense..
That said the more valid information of the mechanisms of submission both for technical data and safety is great

Taylor and Francis will publish ANYTHING. This isn't even junk science. It is junk opinion. The same author did a "study" on strokes and chokes. He used a convenience survey in a few online BJJ forums. He found that chokes are safe based on the responses of the people who frequent online forums that are geared towards BJJ. How many stroke victims are still doing BJJ or MMA? How many stroke victims are trolling around MMA.TV after the sport caused a stroke? Now I'm certain that BJJ is safe and that stroke isn't a major concern, but don't dip into a self-serving pool of participants and pretend it is science.
