Quotes “An explosive device might be identified as being on the side of the ship. And these divers will go down and instantly I'm thinking, all right, they're going to try and remove the mine off a boat. But it's not the case. They'll actually go down there and drill into the explosive device to try and flood the system so that it doesn't go off and these sorts of things can happen in the dead of night” “Senior instructors that were responsible for the phases of the divers would come to those meetings and get feedback around each of the divers, their readiness to perform, their fatigue, anything related to muscular soreness, and your basic five point wellness questionnaire.” “it's around about a million dollars to train one single diver. So if you're getting towards the back end of a course, and it's gone for 11 months and all of a sudden the diver succumbs to an injury, they'll have to repeat that phase, and that's money tied up or potentially and depending on the injury, that's money lost. “whilst we communicated jump height to the divers, we looked at our RSI as a readiness tool and we were actually testing at the back end of the week. Now gold standard would obviously be on the Monday, but we dealt with the dates that we were given... So the conversation always stemmed around, right, this was the cost of the week” “Pull -ups are a big cultural thing with the clearance divers.” “the PTI then came on this journey where they realized that if they were gonna introduce a session, there was obviously gonna be an increased level of soreness versus having a bit more of a consistent structure to the sessions on a more regular basis that soreness is going to go down and you're going to allow those divers to actually experience some improvement” “we can give them 10 minutes of what they want to then give them 50 minutes of what they need. It's a good trade -off” SHOWNOTES 1) Chris' background as a swimmer and progression in tactical strength and conditioning 2) Challenges faced by Navy clearance divers and addressing vocational drop-out 3) Implementing an athlete monitoring system with Navy clearance divers 4) Strength and power assessments relevant to clearance divers and categorizing divers in “force” or “fit” buckets 5) Traditional physical training for Navy divers, “finning” and influencing PTIs 6) Targeting shoulder and hip resilience and identifying high risk phases in navy diver training 7) Recommendations for using sport science technology in a new environment 8) The strategy of giving people what they want and the strategies of negotiating

Your host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch, talks with Troy Taylor, Senior Director of Performance Innovation at Tonal, to discuss the importance of strength training for aging well. Troy emphasizes the benefits of consistent, progressive overload in resistance training, noting that it can improve muscle mass, strength, and bone density at any age. He highlights that strength training can also enhance cognitive function and glucose homeostasis. Troy addresses common misconceptions, such as the danger of resistance training and the belief that it's too late to start. He recommends starting with small, manageable exercises and gradually increasing intensity. Troy also discusses the role of proper nutrition, particularly protein, in supporting strength training goals.  Episode Timeline: 0:01 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest 3:59 Troy Taylor's Journey into High-Performance Sport 5:33 Defining Strength Training and Its Importance for Aging 9:07 The Role of Strength Training in Maintaining Musculoskeletal Health 11:49 Building Consistency and Enjoyment in Strength Training 20:07 The Impact of Strength Training on Bone Health and Joint Health  24:14 Common Misconceptions About Strength Training for Older Individuals 32:00 The Importance of Nutrition in Strength Training 34:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Learn about Troy Taylor and Tonal http://www.tonal.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/troy-taylor-4577bb38/ Action Steps: Download E-Book:  7 Keys to Living Younger Longer Schedule a  FREE CALL with Dr. Gillian Lockitch.  Join the GOLY Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingolderlivingyounger

High Performance Sport New Zealand has scored a key victory in a landmark legal battle with a group of the country's top athletes. Sports Correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Paddy Gower.

High Performance Sport New Zealand will invest $162.8 million into 36 sports over the next four years through to the Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games. Football, golf and E-Sports have lost their funding completely, while hockey has their funding slashed in half to $1.5 million. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Thursday 19th of December, Heather du Plessis-Allan asks just how bad is our Q3 GDP will be, and whether we'll slip back into a technical recession? High Performance Sport NZ has decided who they're dishing out the funding to – so who are the winners and losers? Kiwi actor and NZ Order of Merit recipient Mark Hadlow is bringing back his stage show 'Middle Aged Man in Lycra', by doing a sequel - ‘Grumpy Old Man in Lycra'.

As always, there are winners and losers in High Performance Sport's latest funding round. In the lead up to the LA Olympics in 2028, the organisation has allocated $163 million to 36 different sports. Rowing, yachting, athletics, cycling, and canoeing all got a funding boost, while sports like hockey, equestrian, and men's sevens are worse off. Director Steve Tew says past performance was key when making the decision. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan they really need to hone in on the sports, athletes, and teams that are tracking towards a top eight or podium in LA.

Esports New Zealand is feeling disappointment after being left out of a funding boost ahead of the next Olympics. High Performance Sport NZ has confirmed it will invest over $160 million into various Kiwi sporting organisations over the next four years - with rowing, cycling, speed climbing and tennis among the sports set to benefit. Conor English, the President of the New Zealand Esports Federation, says this comes at at an unfortunate time, with the first-ever esport Olympics set to take place in 2025. "As a country, we are very well-placed because we've got a national sporting organisation that is in the esports area ahead of a lot of other countries, but we do need funding from the Government. And if High Performance Sport isn't going to deliver it, I guess the question is - how will we get some funding?" LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olympic medal-winning sports have been given a boost in funding heading into the Los Angeles Games - but not everyone got lucky. Rowing, Yachting, Athletics and Para Athletics, Cycling and Para Cycling, and Canoe Racing and Para Canoe are the Podium sports set for extra investment over the next four years. However, Hockey New Zealand is looking at cuts to personnel and a reduction in Black Sticks fixtures after High Performance Sport NZ slashed the sport's funding by $1.4 million dollars annually. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Esports New Zealand is challenging High Performance Sport's decision to leave them out of additional funding. HPSNZ will invest over $160 million into various Kiwi sporting organisations over the next four years - and esports has been left out. New Zealand Esports CEO joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss.

Another one of my amazing (ex) athletes graces the TYP studio today and Renae and I go deep talking about the mental and emotional cost of being an 'obsessed' professional athlete, when emotion is considered weakness, the pros and cons of vulnerability, living on the other side of the world with her NBA basketballer husband (Joe), raising their three little humans in often-trying circumstances, being a 'WAG' who doesn't always fit in, finding identity, purpose and happiness after professional sport, building a new career and lots more. In case you don't know, Renae was one of the world's best netballers for more than a decade, having won international player of the year twice, world championships, Commonwealth Games gold, multiple premierships in the national league, way too many awards and she represented Australia 67 times. Oh, and she also has a Master's Degree in High-Performance Sport. Other than all that, she's a dud. Lol.  renaeingles.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark has worked with UniSC's High-Performance swimming program since its inception in 2011 and has more than two decades of experience working with Olympic and Paralympic swimmers. QUOTES “One of our biggest concerns is swimmers, and it's like in any sport, their sport age is very different to their S&C training age, so you get swimmers that have been in the pool for five, 10 years, but when they come into our environment, they've got less than one year of good experience” “If you ever spend any time around swim coaches, you'll hear the word connection probably on a daily basis and my interpretation of what swimming coaches are talking about is how efficiently are they sequencing together movements of their joints through water.” “It is very common to hear swim coaches and swimming athletes talk about “what can you pull up?” but one of the things we are interested in is an athlete's ability to pull their own body weight up as fast as they can for as many repetitions without a certain drop of velocity” “So within about six weeks of major competitions, we're going through a set testing battery, which includes bench press velocity and bench press maximal strength, pull up maximal strength, pull up velocity and counter movement jump and squat jump performance” “I've always believed one of the strength and conditioning coach's biggest weaknesses is their general anatomical knowledge” SHOWNOTES 1) The back stories of Max and Mark including Max's PhD research on swim performance and land-based interventions in the warm up 2) The basics of athletic movements for swimming like streamlining and rotation control, and the importance of connection 3) The adaptation of common traditional exercises like the pull up and reverse hyperextension to be more swim specific 4) The importance of monitoring vertical pulling speed and drops in speed in swimming 5) Swimming strength and power profiling before major competition 6) Strength ratios between upper body exercises and their influence on programming 7) A look into the day-to-day process and weekly periodization at UniSC swimming program 8) The power of the mind and influence of pre-competition lifting on swimming performance 9) The importance of knowing anatomy as a strength and conditioning coach PEOPLE MENTIONED Scott Pollock Dan Howells Dr Mark Burnley Adam Peaty

High Performance Sport New Zealand is appealing an Employment Relations Authority decision which would grant athletes collective bargaining power. Sports reporter Jonty Dine speaks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6347234925112

A legal rematch is pending between High Performance Sport New Zealand and some of it top athletes. The agency is appealing an Employment Relations Authority decision requiring it to collectively bargain with the group of about 60 elite cyclists and rowers, known as the Athletes Co-operative. The Coperative, co-chaired by Olympic great Mahe Drysdale, took its case to the Authority after High Performance Sport rejected attempts to hash out a collective agreement. It says it doesnt employ athletes. High Performance Sport is appealing after seeking a second legal opinion and because of concerns the initial ruling has wider implications. Mahe Drysdale from the Athletes Co-operative speaks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6347236709112

A big win for a team of top NZ athletes could see them score the same rights, privileges and pay as employees. The Employment Relations Authority has found in favour of the elite rowers and cyclists in what has been a long running disagreement with High Performance Sport NZ The ERA has found the government agency's legally obliged to engage in collective bargaining with The Athletes Co-operative - led by Olympic great Mahe Drysdale.

A significant win for some of the country's top sportspeople, after the Employment Relations Authority ruled they have the right to engage in good-faith collective bargaining with High Performance Sport New Zealand. The Athletes' Cooperative, which represents 60 rowers and cyclists, are pursuing better pay and treatment. High Performance Sport, a government agency, said in response it is surprised and concerned by the ruling. Sports commentator Mark Watson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The country's top rowers and cyclists have scored a significant win over government agency High Performance Sport New Zealand in their bid for better treatment and fairer pay. The Employment Relations Authority has ruled in favour of the Athletes' Cooperative, representing a group of 60 rowers and cyclists, saying they have the right to engage in good-faith collective bargaining with High Performance Sport. Former rowing great Mahe Drysdale says their existing contracts treat athletes as second-class citizens. He says they have little say over their programmes and the top athletes can only earn up to $70,000 a year. New Zealand Athletes Federation boss Rob Nichol spoke to Corin Dann.

Yesterday saw a major win for some of New Zealand's top athletes.   The Employment Relations Authority has ruled in favour of the Athletes' Cooperative, forcing High Performance Sport NZ to engage in collective bargaining with the co-op.  HPS had previously rejected attempts to hash out a collective agreement on the basis that they did not formally employ athletes.   Former Olympic Rower Mahe Drysdale is spearheading the co-op's efforts, telling Mike Hosking that he's not sure why HPS tried to avoid it for so long.  He said that all they want to do is get on with this and change sport for the better in New Zealand.   The crux of the situation, Drysdale told Hosking, is getting better conditions for athletes and allowing them to have input into how the system is run.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have Kechi Anyadike-Danes back for round two to discuss the second installment of his planned three part research series looking into the divide between human performance research and education and the reality of actual coaching practice. This episode is specifically focused on periodization. We chart the history of how periodization theory developed, and then we look at how coaches responded to a variety of questions about core concepts within periodization. Kechi is a doctoral student at the German Sport University Cologne where he has been looking at various aspects of athlete preparation and how coaches perceive various theories, concepts and strongly held beliefs that exist in the training literature. His doctoral research is being supervised and helped by friend of the pod John Kiely from the University of Limerick and Lars Donath from the German Sport University Cologne. Kechi doesn't just focus on the theoretical, he is also passionate about training and coaching (especially weightlifting). You can find the full text of Kechi's paper here. We also discussed Yuri Verkhoshansky's paper "The End of 'Periodization' in the Training of High Performance Sport" an abbreviated translation of which can be found here. The paper by Matt Clark that we mentioned is available on Modern War Institute here. Some recommended further reading: Foundations of Training Periodization Part I: Historical Outline by Jimmy Pedemonte Foundation of Training Periodization Part II: The Objective of Periodization by Jimmy Pedemonte From Russia with Love? Sixty years of proliferation of L.P. Matveyev's concept of Periodisation? by Arnd Kruger Kechi asked us to include on correction to the section when was discussing a system used in ancient Rome/Greece. The system was called the Tetrad. It is not known whether this was the only approach but it is one that has been popularly discussed due to it appearing in a book called 'On Gymnastics' by Philostratus. Below is the description: By the tetrad system we mean a cycle of four days, each one of which is devoted to a different activity. The first day prepares the athlete; the second is an all-out trial; the third is relaxation; and the fourth a medium-hard workout. The exercise of the first day, the one that prepares him, is made up of short, intense movements which stir up the athlete and prepare him for the hard workout to follow on the next day. The strenuous day (the second) is an all-out test of his potential. The third, the day of relaxation, so to speak, employs his energy in a moderate way, while on the day of the medium workout (the last day), the athlete practices breaking holds himself and preventing his opponent from breaking away.

High Performance Sport New Zealand is calling for a top-up from corporate funding. For Olympic sports to maintain their current level of competition, HPSNZ's chief executive suggests the country's top sports seek sponsorship from the business world to 'maximise the revenue'. Former Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale says most of New Zealand's biggest sports have corporate partners already, but it can be a tough market. "They're all fighting for funding, and that's behind rugby, cricket, netball. So it's a pretty crowded space." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A group of top athletes is taking an employment case against High Performance Sport - why?

Athletes from two of the country's most successful Olympic sports have launched landmark employment proceedings against High Performance Sport NZ. The group includes more than 60 rowers and cyclists, who want better rights for athletes, improved well-being and financial stability. It is understood the athletes want to be considered as employees rather than contractors. Rowing great Mahe Drysdale is spearheading the newly formed athlete union - the Athletes Cooperative - who are behind the case. We're joined by sports reporter Felicity Reid.  

A new union representing the athletes competing in Olympic sports has launched employment proceedings against High Performance Sport NZ. This group, The Athletes' Cooperative, was established in June of this year and it represents several former Olympic cyclists and rowers, two sports New Zealand does well at in the Olympics. This group is asking the Employment Relations court to recognise that these union members are employees of High Performance Sport, and that they should get all the benefits collective bargaining allows. Mahe Drysdale, Olympic rower and co-chair of this union says that the athletes should get a seat at the table when it comes to negotiating fair and equitable treatment.

Greater focus on athlete welfare should mean more success on the international sporting stage. That's the hope from High Performance Sport New Zealand boss Raelene Castle. In May, an investigation following the suspected suicide of Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore suggested cycling's high performance model was broken and needed a complete overhaul. In response High Performance Sport NZ has unveiled a 10-point action plan for cycling and the wider high performance sports community. Sports editor Stephen Hewson reports.

High Performance Sport has released an action plan following a critical independent inquiry finding the organisation's high performance model is broken and needs to be "reimagined". Commissioned after the suspected suicide of Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore in August last year, the findings and recommendations of the 104-page report were released in May. Kathryn speaks with Stuff's National Correspondent specialising in sport Dana Johannsen.

Performance is rarely, if ever, about one thing in isolation. Athletes, coaches, and management teams need to be aware of all of the physiological and psychological factors that can have an impact on a team's competition performances.

This week's guest on the Pacey Performance Podcast is horizontal jumps coach Adam Petway. Adam currently coaches track and field at the West Chester University of Pennsylvania after previously serving as the Director of Athletic Performance for the Washington Wizards in the NBA. Prior to this, Adam was the Biomechanist/Strength and Conditioning coach for the Philadelphia 76ers, and Director of Strength and Conditioning for University of Arkansas basketball. He also holds a PhD in Sports Science and High-Performance Sport. Adam has just released his new book, Basketball Mechanics, which digs into what makes the world's top basketball players tick. Much of what inspired Adam and his co-writer leads today's conversation – namely which physical assessments are appropriate for basketball, assessing and addressing deficiencies in an athlete, and assessing neuromuscular readiness and fatigue. This involves measuring outcomes, including how to understand neuromuscular fatigue without force plates and jumps through three key assessments. There's also some great advice for strength and conditioning coaches in how to understand the technical and tactical aspects of sport when talking with head coaches. Adam also shares how he deals with common ankle and Achilles injuries, and how he uses isometrics and creates regular exercises in a safe environment. Isometrics is also the topic when Adam discusses how they fit in with the physical development model in the NBA. For all this advice from a top track and field coach who specialises in measuring and monitoring jump performance, hit the play button now. This week's topics: Which physical assessments are appropriate for basketball Understanding the technical and tactical aspects of sport Assessing and addressing deficiencies in an athlete's skillset Common scenarios, drills and interventions to use Assessing neuromuscular readiness and fatigue Outcome measures, and why Adam wouldn't go down the jump height route Understanding neuromuscular fatigue without jumps and force plates The three assessments to use when measuring neuromuscular readiness Dealing with ankle and Achilles issues Isometrics and creating exercises in a safe environment How isometrics fit in with the physical development model in the NBA

The findings of the Cycling New Zealand and High Performance Sport inquiry have been released, following the death of Olivia Podmore last August. The report found that there is an inherent tension between well-being and the pursuit of medal success, and recommends cyclists be treated as "people first, athletes second". Issues have also been raised around women's health and male networks in the coaching realm. Olympic gold medallist rower Eric Murray was a close friend of Olivia Podmore. He joined Heather du Plessis-Allan. LISTEN ABOVE 

Was Wellington mayor Andy Foster right to pull the pin on plans to light up a Wellington landmark in Palestinian colours, after a warning he might upset Israel? The big Emissions Reduction Plan – not many specifics, a lot more consultation – has the plan fallen flat? A report into High Performance Sport has recommended the approach needs to be changed to people first – not medals first – after the suspected suicide of Olivia Podmore. But aren't medals what we want our athletes to win? Ramraiders have stepped it up a notch and stolen a digger to burst into a BP. This is getting ridiculous, isn't it? How do we stop it? Is Melania Trump right to be upset that she's the only First Lady who was never on the cover of Vogue? Jack Tame and Trish Sherson joined Heather du Plessis-Allan on the Huddle. LISTEN ABOVE
