The ROAD TO PRO: The Road to Pro: Balancing Long-Term Development Versus Short-Term Performance - With Paul White and Martin Buchheit

NOPE! Heart rate monitoring only is EXTREMELY limited in what it tells you about HIGH SPEED RUNNING 🙁Paul White wants you to understand that although heart rate can be useful for a variety of training measurements, periodisation, as well as prescription and monitoring, it kind of misses the biggest aspect that is currently trending in most sports: the mixed contribution of neural 🧠 and peripheral aspects (like muscles 💪🏼, duh!) - also mysteriously called neuromuscular factors.In the 58th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Paul discuss 📜 how the academy football structure in England is based on certain documented and mandatory protocols, tests, as well as expectations, and how that can be an advantage;🐣 considering the management of short-term results (at academy level) versus training and planning the long-term development of your young players🤷‍♂️ what is football fitness and how can almost ANYONE without SPECIFIC knowledge apply it to their football coaching practice?!_____________________ If you want to TRULY monitor NEUROMUSCULAR loads, you probably need something called “anaerobic speed or power reserve” - NOW you will truly get an INDIVIDUALIZED profile of all your players!We got ALL the science and practical applications of it bundled up for you 📦!🚀  https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/power-speed-guru-bundle 🚀_____________________ Today’s speakers:Dr Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/  Paul White https://uk.linkedin.com/in/paul-white-1940a659
