The best sports scientists bridge the gap between theory and practice. They bring coaching experience to the table and help help solve the real problems athletes are facing. This describes Esa Peltola. His diverse experiences in coaching, physiology, talent identification, and sports science helped him drive athletes to the next level, including coaching the first Australian to break 10 seconds in the 100 meters. On this week's GAINcast he shares his journey.

For more on the golden era of Australian Institute of Sport, GAINcast 219 with David Martin provides a great look at the work done during that time. GAINcast 227 also had on guest Dean Benton, who took a lot of influence from Peltola.

Coaches now devote more time to recovery and injury prevention than ever before. At the same time, injury rates have climbed to historic levels in many sports. How can it be that we're working harder to prevent injuries, but athletes continue to get hurt at increasing rates? On this week's GAINcast we look at how the modern approach to injury prevention might actually be making things worse, and propose some new ideas for reducing injury rates.

The performance model for rehabilitation was looked at on GAINcast 49 with Bill Knowles and HMMR Podcast 231 with Donie Fox. We also covered injury prevention on GAINcast 6. Hamstring injuries has also been a recurring theme. Here are two articles on hamstring injuries and hamstring solutions. The new research on injury prevention discussed in this episode was summarized by Craig Pickering in our most recent Sports Science Monthly. HRV and data was another topics discussed on this episode, and we looked at it in more detail on GAINcast 221 with Dr. Michael Joyner.

I'm delighted to speak with former Olympic 100m sprinter and bobsleigher, Craig Pickering in this episode. After early success as a young athlete, Craig went on to win a number of medals at European and World Championship levels. After a career-ending injury Craig completed his doctorate and now works as athlete pathway manager at Athletics Australia. We speak in depth about Craig's experiences as an athlete including attentional cues, dealing with injury, well-being and managing success and failure.

With over 2 billion cups of coffee consumed globally each day, there's no denying humanity's love for caffeine. In this Episode, Drew & Liv interview Dr. Craig Pickering –Olympian turned scientist. After a career-ending injury, Dr. Pickering found a new passion and dove into researching caffeine's impact on human performance. You'll learn about the neurological mechanism behind caffeine, its prevalence in athletics, and whether or not your coffee addiction is actually a problem. You can follow Craig on Twitter @craig_100m. Stay up-to-date with Drew & Liv on Instagram @scienceinsociety!

In this episode we discuss the term Performance Health and what it means to us across the continuum of physical development. We discuss how Performance Health looks in action while discussing it's art and science. We make a case for how we see it fit in the circumstances we each work in. We make regular reference to Xavier Roy's (our friend) recent article in SimpliFaster (https://simplifaster.com/articles/sports-academics-training-medical-school/) and Craig Pickering's recent series for HMMRMedia (http://www.hmmrmedia.com/pickering/).

The waffle has led to amazing opportunities to bring in experts from a range of fields to chat through all things nutrition and sport performance. Our ultimate goal has always been to translate the science into practical tips that you can apply in your everyday lives. This pod was born from a need to answer some important questions regarding genetic testing.  What is the place of genetic testing in sport, nutrition and overall health?  Who will find it useful?  When is it a waste of time? Genetic testing typically involves sending off a sample away for analysis and receiving back a report which tells you a few key things about what you may want to change in your diet and lifestyle. However, is it worth the investment? Today's podcast is all about chatting through the evidence, understanding where the research currently lies and deciding whether it's worth the investment.  To have this conversation we have bought in someone who has a lot more experience on this topic than we do. Craig Pickering is an exercise physiologist who has completed his doctoral studies in genetic testing within sport. He also comes from an athletic background so understands the unique challenges athletes face. Craig was a track sprinter for team GB but also worked in a genetic testing company prior to moving to Australia. He is now the athlete pathway manager for Athletics Australia. This podcast really turns the research into real life experience making it super useful to you guys. We have show notes on our blog at www.compeatnutrition.com where you can download all of the things we chatted about today including the key papers we mentioned in the podcast and any other interesting material. Over on our site, you'll also have access to our Free Preliminary Assessment!  https://compeatnutrition.typeform.com/to/AayZgf

Today’s conversation is with John Kiely and Craig Pickering. John was on episode 52; we talked the lack of evidence supporting periodized training programs. We begin with the current state of evidence in genetic testing for athletic potential and planning training. We move on to more useful ways of viewing your training program. It really is simple yet multitudes are derailed by chasing placebo effects for marginal gains on an inconsistent program. Oh, and we talk about placebo effects as well.

- ¿Por qué las mejoras entre diferentes atletas son diferentes ante el mismo entrenamiento? - ¿De qué forma influyen los genes en las adaptaciones previas? - ¿Podemos cambiar nuestros genes? - ¿Qué porcentaje del rendimiento se debe a nuestros padres? - ¿Qué influencia juega la nutrición en las adaptaciones al entrenamiento? - ¿Y la psicología? ¿Cómo influye el estrés? Ayudado por las investigaciones más recientes de Craig Pickering y Jonh Kiely, hago un repaso de estos hallazgos científicos, resumiendo y traduciendo parte de sus últimos papers académicos sobre lo más novedoso de la ciencia del entrenamiento.

In this interview with Craig, former Olympic athlete and Head of Sports Science at DNAFit, we talk about how you can use DNA testing to personalise your diet and fitness program to get better results. We discuss the future of DNA testing, and how it intersects with technology to enable people to self-monitoring and self-quantify their health in ways that were unimaginable ten years ago. We also talk about the importance of recovery, whether you’re an athlete or an office worker, and some protocols you can use right now to help recover from stress – whether that’s from overwork, exercise or other pressures. This episode is all about how you can make significant lifestyle changes with just a few tweaks at a time using the principles of marginal gains. Craig Pickering is an former Olympic athlete, having competed in 4 World Championships and one Olympic Games in the 100m and 4x100m relay. In 2012, Craig switched sports, moving to bobsleigh, where he was selected for the Winter Olympics in 2014. This made Craig only the 8th British athlete to be selected for a Summer and Winter Games, which sounds like a happy ending, but unfortunately he suffered a career ending injury at the pre-Olympic training camp. Since then, Craig has been working as Head of Sports Science at DNAFit, and has recently started a doctorate, examining the use of genetic testing in sports.
