Training Science Podcast

🌞 HEAT, HIIT, HEAT, MORE HEAT! Or was it HIIT?🌞Yes, it is good for you (obviously with certain limitations) for TRAINING as well as ADAPTATION to hot climates🏖️.And SURPRISE SURPRISE, as so often, it is not the same for male ♂️ & female ♀️ athletes!In our 28th episode of the Training Science Podcast, Paul and Dr Julia Casadio give an all-out overview of why PREPARING for HEAT is so essential 🥵, how we can use it as a TRAINING method independent of hot climates, as well as what are the exact specific responses of certain individuals to it, and especially women 🚺!If you want MORE than just TIPS a couple of PRETTY 😇 & somewhat useful pictures: Our 🏆 HIIT SYSTEM has an ANSWER to ALL YOUR HIIT questions!🚀 https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/collections?category=science-sport 🚀_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Julia Casadio _____________________ References:Casadio JR, Kilding AE, Cotter JD, Laursen PB.

Fancy pancy measurements might LOOK GOOD, but a simple TAPE MEASURE around YOUR BELLY might give you the best idea whether you are OVERFAT or not.Dr Phil Maffetone wants you to consider that a FOCUS on WEIGHT means you are missing what matters when it comes to body composition. Think about it. Doesn’t your muscle weigh more than fat? But we need to know how much fat we’re accumulating because a whole collection of risk factors for most lifestyle diseases make up the MAJORITY of deaths nowadays!In the 26th episode of the Training Science Podcast, Paul and Phil discuss not just the origin of their own professional collaboration, but also many health AND performance related topics around the benefits of basic endurance training for all activities and sports, the large potential of eating whole and real foods, as well as why suddenly we are seeing more extremely fit people suddenly die from heart issues.So you say to yourself “OK, I GET IT! I need healthier ATHLETES. What do I exactly do!?”.We got ya covered with Phil’s ATHLETE HEALTH COURSE:https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/courses/athlete-health-high-intensity-interval-training_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Phil Maffetone https://philmaffetone.com/  & https://maffetonemusic.com/  _____________________ References:Hetlelid KJ, Plews DJ, Herold E, et alRethinking the role of fat oxidation: substrate utilisation during high-intensity interval training in well-trained and recreationally trained runners.

🤖 AI COACHING & PERIODIZATION is NOT what you THINK IT IS!Now you might think that AI just does EVERYTHING by itself, hey 🙃? No one else and nothing else needed?Well, Dr Andrea Zignoli, part of our @athletica_ai team, is here to tell you otherwise.Paul and Andrea discuss what an AI can BE and what it DEFINITELY IS NOT, how we need to consider our MORALS and LAWS for applying training with the help of AI, as well as in quite some detail how ATHLETICA can help you LEVERAGE all available HIIT SCIENCE knowledge, while still allowing for ALL the subjective factors & experience!Get an even larger OVERVIEW from Paul in this blog:https://athletica.ai/athletica-coach-version-a-new-tool-to-leverage-the-hiit-science-principles/AND if you want to USE this HIGH-END periodization TODAY🚀 START an ATHLETICA FREE Trial TODAY https://athletica.ai/ 🚀 _____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Andrea Zignoli https://www.dnbm.univr.it/?ent=persona&id=9148&lang=en 

FAST food might be fun - but after a hard match/event/training 🤔?Processed and fast food 🥡 might APPEAR harmless to take in every now and then, but when it comes to NUTRIENT density and how you absorb what your BODY NEEDS after or before training - AYE, different story 😉.Hélène Defrance takes us with her on an amazing journey as a young aspiring athlete, through to how she made her dream happen, and on to the present day, where her experiences shape the work and care in her service she never had. In our 23rd episode of the Training Science Podcast, Martin and Hélène discuss her nutritional strategies and food preparation principles, and how she collaborates with cooks and other parts of the “food team”,  as well as which supplements she likes to use, how and when.REMINDER:Across ALL OUR courses you can now 🤑 SAVE 40%!USE THIS CODE at our checkout:summer40🎉 https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/collections?category=science-sport 🎉_____________________ Today’s speakers:Dr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/ Hélène Defrance  www.helenedefrancenutrition.fr _____________________ 

Your athletes are NOT your trophies❌🏆! Professional collaboration 🧑‍💼 is all about THE ATHLETES and how much empathy you have for them and the other staff working with them.By putting your OWN EGO to the side and accepting that in the end it is all about the ATHLETE 😇 and NOT the staff, will make a MASSIVE difference to your effectiveness as a practitioner.In our 23rd episode of the Training Science Podcast, Martin discusses with Keith D’Amelia how to truly incorporate external professionals with individual athletes, developing more applied research solutions for individual athletes and whole teams with the Nike Research Center, as well as many insights from working with NBA and NFL athletes hands-on!🚀 Our HIIT Science courses are ALSO trying to BRIDGE the gap between professionals 🚀⚠️ https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/collections?category=science-sport ⚠️_____________________ Today’s speakers:Dr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/ Dr. Keith D’Amelio https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-d-amelio-2166b54 _____________________ 

Ok ok, so you DO NOT 🛑 need to STOP EATING CARBS. NOPE! But, please just consider some stuff for like 3 minutes (that is LESS than 5!) if you REALLY need ALL those carbs? 🤔In our third SUMMARY EPISODE of The Training Science Podcast we go one last time into the various topics discussed with our guests. This one is a truly a classic.Paul starts out with a rather long take on how to implement MORE FAT oriented nutrition strategies into a broader range of sports ⏬ 🍞. But not only that, we hear Steve Tashijan elaborate quite a lot on its use in TEAM SPORTS!Furthermore, we cover the topics of individualization and how important it is to simply CARE about your athletes across every training session. Similarly, we also take a look at what our guests say on the concept of SCIENCE and its use in sport.  Of course, we HAVE SOME SCIENCE for you if you are keen to not just learn, but APPLY it directly today!❣️ All our courses are as practical as it gets! ❣️https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/collections?category=science-sportIn this last summary we here from:Dan Plews https://www.endureiq.com/ Steve Tashijan https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2019/01/us-soccer-names-initial-members-of-us-mnt-technical-staff Ivi Casagrande https://www.ivicasagrande.com/ Joseph Coyne http://www.coynesportsinjuryclinic.com.au/ Darcy Norman https://www.darcynormanconsulting.com/⚠️In case you have NO CLUE how to IMPLEMENT SPEED TRAINING in your sport, we got a FULL WORLD CLASS SYSTEM FOR THAT ⚠️➡️➡️ https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/courses/maximalspeed ⬅️⬅️_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/ _____________________ 

From a technology nerd, sailor and entrepreneur, to coaching the world’s fastest triathletes and chasing sub 7 hours for the Ironman distance - that’s just the start of our next guest’s bio!In this episode, we hear from leading Norwegian coach, Olav Aleksander Bu. Olav goes into great detail into his unique personal upbringing and background in technology, farming, sport and entrepreneurship and how he combined this experience alongside the development of a TEAM culture that has put the Norwegian program at the forefront of triathlon. There is so much to absorb in this EXTRA LONG 2 hour episode, especially after coming off Kristian Blummenfelt’s recent win at the St. George Ironman World Championships. The conversation includes detailed insight into different types of training for the Norwegian triple powerhouse that is dominating triathlon currently. In the 21st episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Olav have an in-depth conversation into how an athletes' profile can be very different from one athlete to the next, and therefore requires a highly individualized approach (that changes over time!). They also go into the evolution of high-end exercise science methods for chasing long-term improvements, as well as the relentless application of “the right” technology for the athletes.Fancy TRIATHLON and would like to implement sophisticated HIIT like Olav and his team? ➡️➡️ https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/science-application-of-hiit-triathlon ⬅️⬅️➡️➡️ https://athletica.ai/ ⬅️⬅️_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Olav Alexander Bu https://www.linkedin.com/in/olav-bu/ _____________________ 

Amongst others, there is often a misunderstanding what the “LOAD” is versus what the load-”RESPONSE” is.And how about considering that BOTH, polarized AND threshold based training can work, but in different contexts.  In this, our 20th episode of The Training Science Podcast, we present our second summary overview from Martin and Paul, including an exquisite collection of our guests who describe the area of load vs. response, as well as another hot debate: polarized versus threshold training.In this second part of our summary we get the best bits from:Antonio Gomez https://www.instagram.com/antoniogomez008/ Jamie Stanley https://www.sasi.sa.gov.au/news?a=33150 Alistair Brownlee https://thebrownleebrothers.com/Ivi Casagrande https://www.ivicasagrande.com/ Prof. Andrew Jones https://sshs.exeter.ac.uk/staff/profile/index.php?web_id=Andrew_Jones Dr Dan Plews https://www.endureiq.com/ Dr Steve Barrett https://uk.linkedin.com/in/steve-barrett-phd-spsci ⚠️In case you have NO CLUE how to IMPLEMENT SPEED TRAINING in your sport, we got a FULL WORLD CLASS SYSTEM FOR THAT ⚠️➡️➡️ https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/courses/maximalspeed ⬅️⬅️_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/ _____________________ 

Across different countries & sports, our guests appear to agree on “meta”-level aspects of working within high-performance sports.So here we are, putting it ALL together for you in our 19th episode of the Training Science Podcast. In it, Martin and Paul summarize their thoughts on the journey so far, and tease out commonalities (and differences) revealed across the episodes. One clear similarity guests discussed was related to how they use a systematic approach when it came to finding a programming puzzle solution on any given day of training.Systematic process that enables everyone to be ready to go and play ANY time! This does NOT come from just randomly allocating work across various domains, but rather from a PURPOSEFUL strategy that practitioners developed — both for team or individual based sports!Additionally, there were novel contributions in the area of strength training and its place in the world of team and endurance sports. While guests highlight their specific approaches, for many of them it became a TIME factor as well as a SPECIFICITY focus — for either, being highly efficient matters a lot in the busy schedules of professional sports.In this first part of our summary we get the best bits from:Darcy Norman https://www.darcynormanconsulting.com/ Antonio Gomez https://www.instagram.com/antoniogomez008/ Robert Stanley   https://usacycling.org/team-usa/track Dr. Joseph Coyne http://www.coynesportsinjuryclinic.com.au/ Julio Tous https://es.linkedin.com/in/julio-tous-fajardo-822b887a Gil Orriols ⚠️Want FAST athletes?!
