Training Science Podcast

Maybe, just MAYBE you don’t know enough about the MENSTRUAL cycle, female ♀️ physiology, as well as whether or not it influences training. 

🤦‍♀️ ACTUALLY, we all don’t know nearly enough about it!

Lauren Colenso-Semple wants you to understand that we are still quite far away from giving training based on MENSTRUAL PHASE, as well as specific recommendations around timing of various training phases or competitions. In the meantime:

Get to know your athletes, build an understanding and open environment, so that you can INDIVIDUALLY adjust what they need for their variety of potential strengths and syndromes. They know when they feel good, and when they don’t!

In the 64th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Lauren also discuss 

✨ what the hormonal fluctuations of women are and HOW they could affect training?! 

⚔️ how incredibly individual the hormonal fluctuations are from one women to the next.

🔎 how the menstrual cycle data can be useful if you can easily track it.

All the models, THRESHOLDs, numbers and so on are just guides! They ALL have weaknesses and limitations, and if you don’t KNOW them, you will run into problems sooner or later with your athletes!

Teun van Erp wants you to understand that ALL these models are just mathematical models; that even the best HRV and recovery gadgets are JUST using heart rate. That does NOT mean they are bad, but that you have to use them specifically and precisely rather than generalistically.

In the 63rd episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Teun also discuss 

👉 how you can easily over-do AND under-do application of up to date science;

😎 what the LIMITATIONS of ALL TYPES of load metrics are, and how you can work around them;

🏎️ if cycling can become like F1? Should we have more data analysis and science directly during the competitions?

How DIVERSE 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿 is your support staff? Do you take ADVANTAGE of the cognitive, performance and outcome increases 📊 your team and organization can gain by simply PLANNING ahead of who the people you hire?

Jo Clubb wants you to understand that the science in this area is extremely clear: EVERYTHING 🔥 will improve in your organization if you have a larger variety of gender, nationalities, upbringings, social backgrounds and everything else!

In the 62nd episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jo also discuss 

✅ that working as a woman in male dominated sports is definitely possible and can be very positive!

🙄 how little we know about specifics of female physiology in exercise and sports, and how it is essential that we purposefully design more scientific and practical work for this;

👩‍💻 as well what the current burning trend of AI means for exercise and sport science, performance coaches, as well as the somewhat ambiguous work of sport science/data scientists.

So you are still using some FANCY 💎 assessment that is pretending to be objective, but in the END still depends on the subjective opinion ❌📐 of each person?! 

Benjamin Kugel wants you to understand that it is a MUST to find THE ESSENTIALS in your system so that you are not wasting your time trying to get OUTCOMES 💪. If ANY tool is not providing you an OUTCOME, see if you can get rid of it and MAKE USE of already EXISTING human resources!

In the 61st episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Benjamin discuss 

🏁 how everyone has to START somewhere, and if you are at the beginning of your career it is likely that you NEED to experiment and BUILD a process first;

✔️ how to build a structure around your vision, your coach wishes, as well as together with certain players that can act as PILLARS in your team;

🧠 how you can make use of little tech advancements to help individuals be slightly better.

You can be a GREAT ATHLETE and have AMAZING physical abilities… or not😎. There are many top level athletes who are not that well “trained” — and that’s ok!

Matt Nichol wants you to understand that skill is most important to FOCUS 🔍 on in team sports, and make everything in your practice hyper-focused to make you better at enhancing that - rather than just looking at numbers 📊 in your S&C sessions! 

In the 60th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Matt discuss 

🎯 the differences between sports with a HYPER FOCUS on SKILLS vs PHYSICAL ABILITIES, and how it matters in training design;

📉 how you should never OVERDO your work on the “SUPER ATHLETE”. Make sure that the physical training is specific to the sport and the individual you are working with;

😝 how your should TRY to INVESTIGATE new trends in sport and tech yourself, directly with your athletes, but without overthinking the implementation.

You DON’T NEED to keep pumping the GYM NUMBERS if you reach certain levels of physical fitness! GO OUTSIDE and play YOUR SPORT!

Chris Tombs wants you to understand that not all athletes need to keep adding more targets in pure “fitness” areas of their skills spectrum, and it is completely fine to even at some point REDUCE the amount of training time in the gym!

In the 59th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Chris discuss 

📜 how LESS can be MORE when it comes to sports training, and why you want to probably work towards taking things out of your programme, rather then putting more in; 

🐣 how to deal with different opinions, disagreements, and character types in your work space, and still progress towards SOLUTIONS;

🤷‍♂️ what OPTIMAL assessment, prescription, dosage and execution can EASILY look like for VELOCITY BASED training.

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!

Good old specificity also APPLIES to TASK SPECIFIC RESIDUAL NEUROMUSCULAR FATIGUE! Yes, big long words, that basically means that your jump fatigue testing might not apply that well to running ;). 

Dr Jackson Fyfe highlights that any type of interference effect between strength and endurance training will be strongly dependent on the residual neuromuscular fatigue (more neural and brain related vs peripheral muscle stuff!), and that it is specific to your activity. Or put simply — related directly to the task performed during the activity!

In the 57th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jackson discuss 

💥 whether intensity of your CARDIO matters or not on the effect on your strength GAINS,

🎯 how neuromuscular factors seem to be key when it comes to the potential interference of combined strength and metabolic conditioning training, 

📝 as well as what are the mechanisms and factors that cause residual neuromuscular fatigue - so that you can be prepared for it, and do something about it!

So you do CARDIO, WEIGHTS and almost everything else, but your MAIN GOAL is to be FAST  & EXPLOSIVE?

You CANNOT apply all the data and science protocols 100% into your sport! ALWAYS try to adapt whatever you find to YOUR CONTEXT!

Dr Miguel Angel Campos wants you to understand that you definitely need to stay up to date with the newest findings, treat them as your FUNDAMENTALS, but then you need to adapt it to whatever you do and whoever you are working with.

In the 56th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Miguel discuss 

💥 in Spain you you are part of a SMALL team, so everyone matters even more - but at the same time you also are bound to whole staff movements when the club is successful or not.

🎯 balance the workload the exercise periodization in the gym together with the one on the pitch - they CANNOT be separate!

📝 despite the players having lots of POWER in most teams, it is POSITIVE that we can now INDIVIDUALIZE our PRACTICE and give responsibility, choice back to them, and thus increase THEIR AUTONOMY (essential for motivation and adherence)!

FAST & SLOW might be more similar than you think😄! Yet, there are still significant differences THAT MATTER in terms of daily training prescription, periodization, recovery and EVEN PACING⏳ !

Dr Phil Bellinger wants you to consider that you CANNOT work to the same daily training model across athletes with different MUSCLE FIBER typology. These differences matter for so many aspects of training, but also offer an opportunity to figure out STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES.

In the 55th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Phil discuss 

💥 how you can use NON-INVASIVE methods to establish muscle fiber composition, and thus

🎯 figure out what TYPE of athlete you have in front of you, which allows you to INDIVIDUALIZE their training to the highest possible level, as well as

📝 figuring out the type of work to do in KEY and ESSENTIAL training sessions to optimize for performance, recovery, as well as race pacing.

_____________________ 

EVERY athlete, independent of their fiber type, needs to be able to go fast. This comes down to their “CEILING” which is the anaerobic SPEED or POWER 💪🏾 reserve.
