Welcome to Series 3, Episode 4 of The Sports Performance Show

In this episode I discuss sports science and performance integration with director of sports science at Therabody and formerly the Gatorade Sports Science Institute

Tim Roberts

We discuss

·        The challenges of translating evidence to enhance athlete athlete performance and reduce injury risk

·        Extracting principles from evidence and data collection to develop performance analysis systems

·        The context of data collection – more isn’t better !!

·        Reverse engineering from the performance outcome to clarify data collection on key performance or injury risk metrics

·        Address the low hanging fruit first prior to data measurement

·        Big picture opportunities and dialling in with focus - How to influence athlete behaviour change to enhance performance outcomes 

·        Establishing base camp – where am I and where do I want to go !

·        Erroneous information – how myths propagate from poor translation of research findings

·        Movement variation – the relevance of individual variation and relevance to both performance and injury

·        Convenience is one of the biggest hurdles to consistency – be a master of the mundane and brilliant at the basics 

·        The important differences between small wins and marginal gains 

·        The future tech applications emerging in sports science and performance

·        Data is absolute and human behaviour is relative – context of data is key

·        Defining recovery and how to achieve this
