In this episode, Anthony goes solo and shares his keynote speech presented at the World Championships in Stockholm as part of the Sports Science Advisory Council for HYROX. This presentation was done in conjunction with Dr. Bryna Chrismas and Dr. Adam Storey for members of the HYROX Sports team, medical staff, other elite coaches, and HYROX365 members. The goal of this presentation was to show the relationship that temperature and humidity could have on elite performance in HYROX and how that could lead to more medical presentations during an event. It presents reasons for the gap seen in times from various venues, quantifies them, and using historical temperature and humidity data from past venues, plus other studies comes up with an ideal temperature and humidity for a HYROX race to be performed in.TheFeed link for 40% off for new customers (this was extended)!!https://thefeed.com/theTheFeed link for $80 in Feed credit or 5% back in Feed credit:https://thefeed.com/teams/the-hybrid-engineJoin The Hybrid Engine coaching platform: https://app.fitr.training/t/TheHybridEngine/Join JK Hybrid Coaching platform:https://app.fitr.training/t/227143/
