Dr Glenn McConell chats with Dr Trent Stellingwerff from the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. Trent has a very interesting background in applied research and translation through coaching Olympic athletes etc. Formerly head of R&D at PowerBar. In a really fun chat we talked mainly about his research with the very important relatively new area of relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S). RED-S effects not only exercise performance but also health. We also sports performance after pregnancy. Important take home: Need to be in long-term energy balance for long term ideal body composition, health and exercise performance. Twitter: @TStellingwerff. 0:00.

The Long Munch - Nutrition for Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes
Dr Trent Stellingwerff (Director of Innovation & Research, Canadian Sport Institute Pacific) joins us to discuss the nuances of collecting and interpreting training data, how it could be used to inform your nutrition, and we finish with some practical examples.
This week's guests on the Pacey Performance Podcast are Dana Agar-Newman and Jeremy Sheppard. Dana is a senior practitioner at the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, and a head strength conditioning coordinator at the University of Victoria. He has also worked in rowing and rugby, including with the Canadian women's rugby sevens team at Rio 2016. Jeremy is a strength conditioning coach with Canada Snowboard, previously having also worked with the Canadian Sport Institute. The duo have recently written the jumping and landing training chapter in High Performance Training for Sports (second edition). Here, they discuss aspects of their research such as jump testing analysis and performance metrics, explaining the metrics to measure between differing sports and athlete levels. They also talk about tools to avoid, and whether to pursue variations in training. In addition, the pair also talk about jump sustainability and what works in different sports and for different athletes. This includes what to consider when developing jumping exercises, force vectors, and landing evaluations. When it comes to jumps training, performance development and analysis, this week's guests quite literally wrote the book on it, so hit the play button now for all this insight and much, much more. This week's topics: Jump testing analysis Tools to avoid due to their unreliability Differing sport-specific analysis metrics Differing metrics based on athlete experience and level The process for developing jumping exercises Arguments for and against lots of variation in training Force vectors and choosing exercises based on vertical and horizontal Jump sustainability, and the programming that influences it Landing evaluations and differences between sports What landings can tell us about other training variables, e.g., deceleration

Dana Agar-Newman is the Lead of Strength and Conditioning for the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. As a former athletics coach, Dana got pulled into the field of strength and conditioning working with a variety of programs including: the Canadian Men’s Rugby team, swimming and the Canadian Sport Schools and before the Rio 2016 Olympic, primarily focused on the preparation of the Canadian Women’s Sevens team. QUOTES “Individualization at the basic level shouldn’t be that complex” “For screening, you should start with the sport and then work your down to the limiting factors” “With a force-velocity profile, we start at bodyweight and work up to load an athlete can’t jump higher than 10cm with” “So we have an athlete’s response to training which is really variable and if we vary our training, this response will have even more variance in it, so why don’t we keep one of them consistent” “There are other things besides the numbers, like psychology, that should be included in how we make decisions about training” “The programming specific to strength should change dependent on what level the athlete is at” “I will keep an athlete on beginner programs until they stop getting better” “There is a different problem with training beginners versus training advanced athletes – you will get the biggest gains in performance with beginners from improving their fitness; however you will get the biggest gains in performance with advanced athletes from improving their readiness and manipulating how fresh they are” “You can write the best program but if you can’t execute it in your facility it is worthless” SHOWNOTES 1) Dana’s journey from a pole vault coach to a S&C and the benefits of having to coach hundreds of athletes when you first start 2) Individualizing training for athletes and what level of individualization is needed 3) Using technology to assess athletes and the value of slow motion video 4) Coordination indexes, F-v velocity profiles and the EUR 5) Frequency of assessing athletes 6) The Bondarchuk approach and tracking exercises in training 7) Asymmetries from force plates and what to do about it 8) Beginner athletes versus advanced 9) Upper body assessments and when to use 10) Eye-openers and their impact on a S&C career PEOPLE MENTIONED Tyler Goodale Matt Barr Mike Stone Tim Suchomel JB Morin Pierre Samozino Derek Everly Matt Rhea Matt Jordan Thomas Kurz Scott Livingston Dan Pfaff Urban Meyer Corey Kennedy Ashley Jones Al Vermeil
