Podcasts about fatigue science

In this episode of Run with Fitpage, we had one of the top researchers globally, Dr. Guillaume Millet, to discuss a topic that is one of the most discussed and sought-after topics among us runners - FATIGUE. Dr. Guillaume Millet, Ph.D., is a professor at Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne. From 1998 to 2013, he held various academic positions in France, including a 4-year full-time research contract at the French National Institute for Medical Research (INSERM). He also was Vice-Chair of Research of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology from 2014 to 2016. His general research area investigates the physiological, neurophysiological, and biomechanical factors associated with fatigue, both during extreme exercise and in patients (neuromuscular diseases, cancer, ICU). His research is focusing on understanding fatigue in order to create tailored rehabilitation programs for clinical populations and enhance patients' quality of life. In July 2022, he had published over 275 journal articles. Guillaume has practiced various endurance sports in competition for 30 years. Among other results, he placed 3 times in the top 6 at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®. He has published 5 books on physiology or training in endurance sports (one in English: “How to succeed at UTMB”). His book "Ultra-trail, Plaisir, performance et santé" has sold more than 12,000 copies.Follow Dr. Millet on Twitter - @kinesiologuiTo know more, log on to www.kinesiologui.comVikas hosts this weekly podcast and enjoys nerding over-exercise physiology, nutrition, and endurance sport in general.  He aims to get people to get out and 'move'.  When he is not working, he is found running, almost always.  He can be found on nearly all social media channels but Instagram is preferred:)Reach out to Vikas:Instagram: @vikas_singhhLinkedIn: Vikas SinghGmail: vikas@fitpage.inTwitter: @vikashsingh1010

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Assistant Professor of Kinesiology & Sport Sciences at the University of Miami, Bryan Mann. It's almost 5 years since I last spoke to Bryan on the podcast in episode 24 and lots has changed for Bryan in that time. He has moved from the University of Missouri to the University of Miami but is still one of the go-to-guys when it comes to velocity based training (VBT). I have used the discussion points used back in our 2015 chat to get a bit of an update on some of the same things. Bryan is a fantastic speaker and I really enjoyed this episode, I just can't believe its taken me 5 years to get him back on. I hope you enjoy this episode with Bryan Mann.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Performance at US Men's National Team, Steve Tashjian. This is the third time I have had Steve on the podcast and there is a reason for that. Firstly he's a great guy but secondly, he has a really interesting journey and also some great ideas around high performance. For the second time, we spoke about carbohydrate periodisation as its a topic which Steve is very passionate about. His thinking has developed in this area which I am sure you will find really interesting. One of my favourite parts of this chat is at the beginning when we speak about project management which I think will valuable for practitioners of all levels.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Academy Sports Science & Medicine at Derby County FC, Luke Jenkinson. Luke first appeared on the podcast in episode #60 of the Pacey Performance Podcast where we spoke about how he integrated play into the academy set up at Sheffield United. Since then Luke has moved onto Derby County where he is now Head of Academy Sports Science & Medicine and is undertaking a professional doctorate. Luke is a really good friend of mine and it is no surprise that he is doing so well. When talking about a coach, people often ask, 'is he good?' and a lot of the time we don't actually see our friends and peers coaching, we just know they are a good person. However, I have seen Luke in action and know that if someone were to ask me about Luke, I would answer with, 'he's a great guy and a great coach'. Hope you enjoy this episode with Luke Jenkinson.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Professor of Sport and Exercise Science and Medicine, Franco Impellizzeri. I am absolutely delighted to welcome Franco Impellizzeri to the podcast. Anyone who has read any research into soccer, sRPE or training load over the last 20 years will know of Franco's work and after a 10 year spell out of sports science, he is firmly back in the game. In this episode Franco challenges many dogmas such as training load management for injury prevention, acute chronic workload ratio and periodisation. If you enjoyed this episode, maybe you will enjoy these with Aaron Coutts and Hugh Fullagar. Hope you enjoy this episode with Franco Impellizzeri.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Performance Enhancement Specialist and Author, Nick Grantham. I must admit, its taken me far too long to get Nick on the podcast. Nick did feature as a round table guest in a Special Football Edition of the podcast in episode #21 but it was great to get him on a podcast on his own. There are so many things I could have spoken to Nick about given his unbelievable experience but I decided on S&C for youth athletes and something that Nick has been very vocal about over the last 5 years and thats getting a job in S&C.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure to speak to Assistant Professor in Exercise Science at Carroll University, Tim Suchomel. This is Tim's second appearance on the podcast and one that is a long time overdue. A lot of Tim's research has focused on weightlifting, their derivatives and their impact on sports performance so naturally, this was where we spent a lot of the conversation. I think this podcast is going to be music to the ears of many sports coaches who get concerned about teaching the full Olympic lifts with him offering them some excellent solutions in this episode.

As part of this masterclass episode focusing on hamstring injuries, I am speaking to Dave Opar, Anthony Shield, Lachlan Wilmot, Ben Ashworth and Matt Taberner. After the great success of the sprint masterclass episode, velocity based training masterclass episode and the training load masterclass episode I decided to continue with the structure and pick out some of the best bits around the topic of hamstring injuries. It was great to listen to these guys again, talking about Nordics, Nordics and Nordics as well as return to play post injury, alternatives to Nordics and injury prevention strategies in the field. Enjoy. In this episode, you will learn - Dave Opar When and where hamstring injuries occur Why people resist the Nordic exercise Anthony Shield What we know about hamstring injuries Why Nordics aren't 'functional' Matt Taberner Return to play post hamstring injury Lachlan Wilmot Hamstring injury prevention strategies in the field Ben Ashworth Getting buy in into Nordics using the Nordbord Dave can be found on Twitter @davidopar Tony can be found on Twitter @das_shield Matt can be found on Twitter @matttaberner Lachlan can be found on Twitter @lachlan_wilmot Ben can be found on Twitter @benashworth This episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast is sponsored by Vald Performance, the team behind the NordBord and the new Groinbar, a hip and groin strength measuring solution.

In Episode 002, Don and Derek sit down with Jeff Zeilstra of Fatigue Science to discuss the importance of sleep and how individuals can better manage their sleep in the modern world. Jeff works closely with professional sports teams on how to manage sleep and optimize both health and performance throughout the year. Fatigue Science's technology is based on decades of research developed by the US military, where poor sleep can be the difference between life and death. The same goes for industrial applications where the operation of complicated, heavy machinery requires skill and alertness for relatively long shifts. Poor sleep and fatigue can negatively impact intellectual performance and physical skills. Jeff provides some tips on how to better manage sleep and improve human performance.Jeff Zeilstra can be found on Twitter and Instagram @jeffzeilstra and more information on Fatigue Science can be found at fatiguescience.comFor more information on the content presented in this episode, please check out the blog article posted by Jeff Zeilstra below:https://www.fatiguescience.com/blog/sleeping-aids-and-high-performance-athletes/
