The National Cancer Institute's partnership with St. Jude is helping researchers to better understand how cancer accelerates the aging process of survivors who were diagnosed as children. The team is also developing therapies that can decrease risks of frailty and dying at an early age. NCI's Jennifer Guida and St. Jude's Kirsten Ness say the Behavioral Research Program as well as the Human Performance Laboratory have been instrumental in helping determine which survivors are more likely to experience physical and cognitive decline. These programs have also assisted researchers with identifying interventions that can possibly prevent premature death and other complications caused by cancer and cancer treatments. Guida and Ness discuss how technology like artificial intelligence is playing a critical role in improving care for childhood cancer especially in conducting screenings, tracking a person's risk for heart failure as well as creating a patient's survivorship plan.

He acted as the central performance consultant for the Own The Podium initiative leading up to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C.  He has worked with Hockey Canada for the past 20 years, most notably with the National Women's Team program for 15 of those years. He has also worked extensively with the PGA on their youth development initiatives. In addition, Norris is a member of the Sport Physiology Group/Altitude Research Group, headed by David Smith, within the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary. He is a recognized authority on long-term athlete development and talent nurturing systems. Most recently, Norris was appointed adjunct professor (applied physiology) at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alta., after being an adjunct assistant professor (applied physiology) at the University of Calgary for the past decade. He has been on the Board of Directors for Swimming Canada, Cross Country Canada/Ski du Fond Canada and Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, and is also a strong advocate for sport and recreation both locally and nationally. On today's episode we discuss when it comes to setting up classrooms for children, we get it. Everything in the school, including the restrooms, are kid-sized, because we understand they are not adult-sized. Why do we continue to insist on full-size fields, big equipment, and adult rules when it comes to youth sports? Why do we insist on comparing our kids to others when we know everyone grows and develops differently? And so much more.

On today's episode, I'm talking to Associate Professor and Researcher Dr. Elaine Choung-Hee Lee about celebrating our strengths.Dr. Lee is an Associate Professor, Director of Research Support, and Director of the Human Performance Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology at UConn. She's also the first Dean's Leadership Fellow for UConn's College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources. Dr. Lee studies the cellular and integrative physiology responses to stress and adaptation to stress. She was a former NCAA Division 1 Rower and Coach and pursued study and research in exercise, nutrition, and 'omics to understand how to help individuals enhance resiliency and performance. While it is hard to imagine that Elaine would ever be doing something else, it took her a long time to figure out the direction of her career. It wasn't until she discovered how much easier it was to study and learn about topics that clicked with her that she came to realize how important it is to celebrate our strengths.We talk about:Her journey of discovering what she was really interested in and how she had to break down her expectations for what her career was supposed to look like. How she pushed her whole department forward by providing a new perspective and new tools, even though, on paper, she could have looked out of place. The extra stress that women take on in the workplace when they are automatically assigned the role of “kind person” or “caretaker” and how hard it is to step away from that.You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.comKeep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social:Instagram: @theMadamAthleteFacebook: @MadamAthleteTwitter: @MadamAthlete

David W. Smith MD, ACP, BS (Chemistry), Board Certified (Internal Medicine Specialist), recognized as a visiting scientist for both The Human Performance Laboratory for the Division of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the North Shore Division of Neurosurgery and North Shore Neurological Institute, Chicago Illinois. Over his 30-year medical career, he served as Chief of Medicine at Reid Hospital and Healthcare Services. In addition, he founded commercial companies for developing his innovative product concepts XennovateMedical LLC, TBI Innovations LLC, and Delta Chase LLC. As Chief Science Officer, he has served as lead design and medical education consultant to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a $90B+ Pharmaceutical and Healthcare company, GENTEX Corp, the largest manufacturer of USAF helmets, and Materials Modification Inc., nano–materials and coating pioneer to the military complex. Consistent with his Internal Medicine credentials, Dr. Smith has Intellectual Property and peer-reviewed publications in diverse fields of science, providing him with a unique perspective in overcoming a broad spectrum of significant medical paradigms. Specifically, his solid background in analytical chemistry (with an added emphasis in physics), combined with his medical degree and internal medical career, allowed him to bring a better understanding of energy interactions and impartations to the human body, which has proven particularly useful in the study of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Dr. Smith discovered and then pioneered “SLOSH Theory,” which represents the basis of his Q-Collar invention for humans designed to mitigate SLOSH energy absorption by the soft tissues of the brain, proven to reduce the risk of brain damage from traumatic events (first product authorized by the FDA for this purpose). Further, he co-authored with Julian Bailes MD, a world-renowned neurosurgeon, a presentation on “The Physics of Traumatic Brain Injury-Revisited,” delivered at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA, Sept 2016. This venue represents the largest gathering of Neurosurgeons and Brain Injury Specialists worldwide. This event provided the backdrop for Dr. Smith's disclosure of his latest thinking on how “cavitation” explains how the physics of a concussive wave can produce the chemistry of a TBI. In his scientific role with Xennovate Medical, he presented several novel battlefield dressings to the Department of the Army Research Lab (DARPA) at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, MD. Dr. Smith assisted Gentex Corp, who was successfully awarded a $90M contract in the field of mitigating the forces involved in human ejections from supersonic aircraft. He was the lead scientist in Xennovate's two-year funding effort with DARPA's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JEIDDO).

Paul Frank Martino was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1971, the eldest of two boys born to Italian immigrant parents, one of which came to the United States of America from the Molise Region of Italy, and the other came to the United States of America from the Naples (Campania) Region of Italy.  Paul was raised as a practicing Roman Catholic in the town of Ronkonkoma, on Long Island, in the state of New York, and graduated from Connetquot High School, in Bohemia, New York in 1989.  He graduated from Dowling College, in Oakdale, New York with a B.A. in Natural Sciences and Mathematics in 1993.  He earned his Master's in Exercise Physiology from the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana in 1996, and later earned his Ph.D. in Physiology from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2006.  After earning, his Ph.D., Paul moved on to a two year American Heart Association, post-doctoral fellowship at Wright State University at the Boonshoft School of Medicine in the Department of Neuroscience, Cell Biology, and Physiology, studying the neuro-physiological effects of carbon dioxide regulation in the brain. After his fellowship, he moved on to a short stay in the biomedical/pharmaceutical industry as a study director designing research studies for evaluating and understanding potential new drugs. During his stay in industry, he also simultaneously managed and mentored a small group of laboratory research technicians.  He learned a great deal about managing and mentoring people in his short stint in industry.  He also learned that the business side of research is very different from research in the academic world. Since 2009, he has been a full-time tenure-track faculty member in the Biology Department at Carthage College, a small Lutheran affiliated liberal arts college in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  He was awarded the prestigious “Teacher of the Year Award in 2017,” for his outstanding teaching of Anatomy and Physiology to upper-classmen from across the Carthage campus. He currently leads the Carthage Biology Department as an Associate Professor and Chair.  In addition, he also holds several other academic positions, which include Associate Adjunct Professor of Physiology at Medical College of Wisconsin, as well as a faculty member of the Stress and Motivated Institute (SMBI).  He loves teaching and mentoring college students (Nate was one of my students.) to help them find their way in life, and has mentored 80 plus undergraduates in his active and collaborative research lab at Carthage.  He has co-authored 21 peer-reviewed scientific articles on strength training, glucose metabolism, respiratory neurophysiology, sleep, antioxidants, and behavioral inhibition. His current research, which is in part a collaboration with Justin Miller and several other Carthage colleagues' focuses on the physiology of college age students who have the behavioral temperament, called behavioral inhibition.  This book signals a new stage of his professional life and one where he hopes to help even more people navigate the struggles of life and to succeed. opphysiology@gmail.com    Doktesinc@gmail.com   https://www.facebook.com/LettersToOurYoungerSelves   https://www.amazon.com/s?k=letters+to+our+younger+selves&crid=16EJYQS95FCKS&sprefix=letters+to+our+younger+%2Caps%2C187&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_23  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/letters%20to%20our%20younger%20selves

In the coming months, new research will be presented in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise that will corroborate one of the benefits of acute exercise (single session) - its ability to lower the post meal (postprandial) plasma triglyceride (blood fat) response to a high fat meal, as well as, increase fat utilization (oxidation). To do so, the acute exercise session must be able to overcome what’s termed as “exercise resistance.” That’s not to be confused with “anabolic resistance,” or the inability of a senior individual to repair, as quickly and effectively as, their younger counterpart, without intervention.It appears from  upcoming research that the exercise duration must account for at least 5,000 steps or the metabolic equivalent. From previous step-count research, we’ve learned that obese individuals – a body mass index of 30 or greater – tend to take between 4600 to 6,000 total daily steps, irrespectively of intensity.Since the research paper is sequestered until publication, I’m not able provide any further details until its release date. However, I can go back to October 2020 to research – Hourly 4-s Sprints Prevent Impairment of Postprandial Fat Metabolism from Inactivity – which appeared in the same publication.Researchers from the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin concluded that, “that hourly very short bouts (4 seconds) of maximal intensity cycle sprints interrupting prolonged sitting can significantly lower the next day’s postprandial plasma triglyceride response and increase fat oxidation, after a high-fat meal in healthy young adults.”Given that these improvements, comment the researchers, “were elicited from only 160 seconds of non-fatiguing exercise per day, it raises the question, as to what is the least amount of exercise that can acutely improve fat metabolism and other aspects of health.”The Texas researchers point to prior research that stated that in order to overcome the negative effects – like reducing the rise in post-meal triglycerides (risk to cardiovascular disease) of prolonged sitting, an individual had to exercise for 60 to 75 minutes per day at a moderate intensity. Using eight healthy, untrained and recreationally active subjects – four men and four women – the researchers looked, “to determine if very brief (4-s) cycling performed at maximal intensity in blocks of five repetitions per hour is effective in counteracting the effects of prolonged sitting on postprandial lipid (fat) metabolism.”  The participants sat for 8 hours. Then, their postprandial metabolism was measured the next day (SIT), which was compared - with an exercise trial of five repeat-cycle sprints (inertial load ergometer) - lasting only 4 seconds each - performed every hour for 8 hours (SPRINTS). Taken in context, each hour, 20 seconds of sprint exercise was performed totaling 160 seconds of SPRINTS for the entire 8-hour day. Prior to the testing, resting metabolic rate studies were performed to asses caloric intake to maintain a stable body weight - with an additional 20% of calories was added to account for exercise. The morning of each trial, the participants took a high-fat/glucose tolerance test (HFGTT) – followed by sitting for six hours – with a fasted blood sample taken. The tests extended at 2, 4, and 6 hours, after the ingestion of a high-fat and glucose shake. Fat oxidation rates were determined at baseline, 2, 4, and six hours from expired gases postprandially (after a meal).The investigation determined that hourly 4-second “all-out” sprints - performed five times per hour on the stationary cycle - while sitting for 8-hours reduced the next day’s postprandial plasma triglyceride incremental by 31%, compared with sitting for 8 continuous hours. .Read the rest at  maxwellnutrition.com.

An individual, who is overweight or obese, with a dysfunctional lipid pattern, especially triglycerides, a blood fat elevated from excessive consumption of simple carbohydrates and saturated fats (fast food), may be at greater risk to postprandial (after a meal) hypertriglyceridemia (elevated triglycerides). According to "Clinical Relevance of Non-Fasting and Postprandial Hypertriglyceridemia and Remnant Cholesterol," which appeared in 2011 on PubMed.gov, “non-fasting triglycerides are measured at any time within up to 8 hours, after any normal meal, while postprandial triglycerides are measured at a fixed time point within up to 8 hours of a standardized fat tolerance test.”“In the general population, 38% of men have non-fasting/postprandial triglycerides > 2mmol/L (>176 mg/dL), while 45% of men have non-fasting/postprandial triglyceride levels of 1-2 mmol/L (89-176 mg/dL); corresponding fractions in women are 20% and 47%,” notes the study authors from the Human Performance Laboratory, Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, University of Texas at Austin.The implications are, “non-fasting triglycerides ≥5 mmol/L vs. 14 hours a day and taking only 1650 steps per day, a 1-hour bout of running at 67% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) failed to improve postprandial hypertriglyceridemia the next morning.”It seems, notes the research, “that physical inactivity (i.e., high sitting and severely reduced step count) rendered the participants resistant to the normal acute improvements in indices of cardiometabolic health that are normally derived from a 1-hour bout of running” - a phenomenon labeled “exercise resistance” -becoming, “resistant to the normal acute improvements in indices of cardiometabolic health that are normally derived from a 1-h bout of running.”The takeaway message is that despite one hour of running at what would be considered a moderate pace – something many people would not tolerate – the prolonged running bout failed to kick start the metabolism, when sitting too long and taking few, total daily steps. It could be concluded that the extended running bout may have fatigued the runner, such that they sat longer and took fewer steps the rest of the day. That begs the question of what is the minimum step count to assist dietary restrictions to lower the post-meal elevated blood fat levels – understanding that a high saturated fat meal may keep the triglycerides elevated for up to 10 hours? Many heart attacks come in the early morning hours (2 to 3AM), following an evening high fat meal.For more information and to read the rest, go to maxwellnutrition.com.

If you’ve listened to Fast Talk for a while, you’ve likely heard us mention “cardiac drift” or “decoupling” in several episodes. It's a favorite topic of Coach Connor's. The terms refer to cardiovascular drift, which is a "drifting" in heart rate and stroke volume over time. On the bike, we measure it by looking at a rise in heart rate relative to power. Many causes have been theorized including dehydration, muscle damage, cutaneous blood flow, and mitochondrial efficiency.     We’re very excited to have as our featured guest today Dr. Ed Coyle, the University of Texas exercise physiology researcher who published the definitive articles on cardiovascular drift in the 1990s. In that research, Coyle, who is also the director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the university, and his colleagues demonstrated that even when hydration is maintained, CV drift can be experienced. This increase in heart rate reduces the time the heart has to fill with blood, and this is the main reason for a drop in stroke volume, or the amount of blood pushed out by the heart with each beat.    The drop in stroke volume is a hallmark of CV drift, and historically it has been attributed to blood pooling in the skin and less blood returning to the heart. Coyle and his team found no evidence that blood flow to skin is increased or that venous return is compromised.    In a practical sense, when a person becomes dehydrated during prolonged exercise, they also get hotter and experience a greater increase in heart rate and a lower cardiac output and circulation of blood: CV drift. The exercise becomes very hard when it should not be hard at all. Competitive cyclists interpret this to mean they are getting a “better workout” because it’s more stressful. It certainly is more stressful, but that type of cardiovascular drift is a negative stress. It does more harm than good.    We’ll dive into all of this and much more today on Fast Talk, as we hear from Dr. Coyle and a host of other incredible guests who share their thoughts on cardiovascular drift.  Now, let's make you fast!    Learn more about your ad choices.

Runchatlive Ep49: Benno Nigg 'The Science Of Modern Running Shoes'A true honour this episode to spend an hour chatting with special guest for Dr. Benno Nigg. Regarded by many as the important contributor to running related research over the past 40 years, Dr.Nigg is Founder & director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary, a multi-disciplinary Research Center concentrating on the study of the human body and its locomotion. He has received many awards and recognitions, including the Olympic Order, honorary degrees from the Universities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and an honorary professorship from the University of Shanghai.In this episode of Runchatlive, he will be discussing the SCIENCE behind modern running shoes. What role have shoes truly played in the performance explosion we have witnessed since Eliud Kipchoge became the first man to break two hours for the marathon. 2019 also brought us twice as many men running under 2:10 and twice as many women under 2:27 compared to 2016. Eight of the twelve fastest men’s marathons in history have been run in the last year. How much of a factor has this new breed of shoe played? And more importantly, what is it in the shoe that could have made this possible?With over 25,000 publications on human locomotion, in particular with relation to products such as orthoses, shoe insoles, sport shoes, surfaces and sport equipment, Dr. Nigg will be giving us an inside look at his latest study that appeared this August in the British Journal of Sports Medicine: 'The teeter-totter effect: A new mechanism to understand shoe-related improvements in long-distance running.'An incredible hour, thank you once again Dr. Benno Nigg for giving us his time. - - - - - - - - - -RUNCHATIVE INTERNATIONAL RUNNING CONFERENCE 2020Oct 29th & 30th - ONLINE!Simultaneous Translation into Spanish!10 fantastic speakers including:Matt Fitzgerald, Kevin Maggs, Ben Cormack, Tom Goom, Alice Sanvito, Claire Minshull, Trevor Prior, Emma Brockwell, Nick Knight & Jess Bruce, Mike James.INFO & TICKETS: http://rcl2020.eventbrite.co.uk/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOIN US FOR FUTURE EPISODES!Runchatlive episodes are recorded LIVE on Thursdays at 8pm (UK time) on our Facebook Page: www.Facebook.com/MattPhillipsRCL.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-435 – The Athlete’s Gut  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4435.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hey Folks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-435 of the RunRunLive Podcast. So, here we are.  Mid-July in New England.  And all that brings with it.  The deer flies are thick as college students on a Florida beach.  The days are long and weather is a dirty soup-like mixture that drains the sap right out of you when you’re outside.  People are slowing down a bit and easing off to vacation houses for a bit of lock-down in a different place.   Ollie and I have been getting out for 8 or so miles in the woods 3 days a week. Then I’ve been mixing in a long bike ride on Saturday with a longish run on Sunday mornings.  My legs are tired but I have a good cadence going.  Even with only 4 days of running I’ll end up with 40 miles this week.  I’m catching up on the Great Virtual Run across Tennessee.  I should pass the buzzard this week.  This week - and I’m speaking to you from Sunday afternoon now - this week I ran Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in the woods with Ollie.  Saturday, I talked my running buddies into riding the Great Circum Groton Fondo with me yesterday that ended up being 37 ish easy road bike miles in the sun.  It was a hoot.  We stopped for muffins in Pepperell center about half way in – so that will give you an idea of the intensity with which we were riding! I guess I have to back up a bit.  My friend Gordon, who is my friend Frank’s brother, (I run with Frank every Sunday), Gordon had this idea of setting up a relay race that went all the way around Groton, the town I grew up in and where my running club is based, without actually touching Groton at any point.  I borrowed his course and we rode it on bikes yesterday.  I toyed with making it into a real event for charity and such, but there wasn’t much interest, so we just went out and had a good long ride.  Then this morning I got up early and ran 4.5 miles of trails with Ollie, then went and met the guys at 8:00 for another 10 on the road.  A nice mix.  Done by 10:00.  I’m whipped!  I could nap!  I’m getting a good balanced set of miles in.  I’m avoiding most of the heat.  I’m giving the dog enough exercise to stay sane.  Last weekend Ollie and I went down to our house in Cape Cod for the 4th of July.  I ended up coming back early because it was just too crowded and frantic.  I didn’t even attempt to go do my annual; beach run or my long ride on the rail trail.  Maybe I’m turning into a hermit, but I was a bit disconcerted by all the people and how stressed out they were, so I came back.  Today We are going to talk about all kinds of bodily fluids.  Actually we are going to talk about ‘The Athlete’s Gut’ with Dr. Patrick Wilson.  It’s his new book from Velo Press that answers the questions around why do I get nauseous or gassy or poopy when I’m running and racing?  In section One I’m going to talk about sweat – because I realize that my half hearted treatment of hot weather running was a bit thin.  In Section two I’ll talk about why certainty in an uncertain environment is so powerful. My work is very busy, but I’m having a good summer.  I actually threw my hat in the ring for another role at this company.  I have an interview tomorrow.  I know there are a lot of job seekers out there these days.  So I have a tip for you.  There will come a point in that interview where you will get a hard question that you don’t know the answer to and when you do, you lean back, get a faraway look in your eyes, channel your inner Rutger Hauer and say: “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..” That won’t get you the job but you’ll be the topic of conversation in HR for weeks! On with the show.

He earned a PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Minnesota and completed post-doctoral training in sports nutrition at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Wilson has authored over 50 scientific articles that span the disciplines of exercise science, sports nutrition, and health. He is the author of the recently released book, The Athlete's Gut: The Inside Science of Digestion, Nutrition, and Stomach Distress. Wilson is also a credentialed registered dietitian through the Commission on Dietetic Registration.  The gut does many wondrous things for us. Without it, we surely couldn’t exist. For many an athlete, however, the gut can also be a source of consternation before, during, and after exercise. Have you ever made a pre-race trip to the Porta Potty due to an uneasy gut? Or ducked into some roadside greenery mid-race because of an angry bowl? Or hurled up your breakfast in the loo before a big game? If yes, you’re just one of the innumerable number of athletes that have been plagued by gut issues.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-435 – The Athlete's Gut  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4435.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hey Folks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-435 of the RunRunLive Podcast. So, here we are.  Mid-July in New England.  And all that brings with it.  The deer flies are thick as college students on a Florida beach.  The days are long and weather is a dirty soup-like mixture that drains the sap right out of you when you're outside.  People are slowing down a bit and easing off to vacation houses for a bit of lock-down in a different place.   Ollie and I have been getting out for 8 or so miles in the woods 3 days a week. Then I've been mixing in a long bike ride on Saturday with a longish run on Sunday mornings.  My legs are tired but I have a good cadence going.  Even with only 4 days of running I'll end up with 40 miles this week.  I'm catching up on the Great Virtual Run across Tennessee.  I should pass the buzzard this week.  This week - and I'm speaking to you from Sunday afternoon now - this week I ran Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday in the woods with Ollie.  Saturday, I talked my running buddies into riding the Great Circum Groton Fondo with me yesterday that ended up being 37 ish easy road bike miles in the sun.  It was a hoot.  We stopped for muffins in Pepperell center about half way in – so that will give you an idea of the intensity with which we were riding! I guess I have to back up a bit.  My friend Gordon, who is my friend Frank's brother, (I run with Frank every Sunday), Gordon had this idea of setting up a relay race that went all the way around Groton, the town I grew up in and where my running club is based, without actually touching Groton at any point.  I borrowed his course and we rode it on bikes yesterday.  I toyed with making it into a real event for charity and such, but there wasn't much interest, so we just went out and had a good long ride.  Then this morning I got up early and ran 4.5 miles of trails with Ollie, then went and met the guys at 8:00 for another 10 on the road.  A nice mix.  Done by 10:00.  I'm whipped!  I could nap!  I'm getting a good balanced set of miles in.  I'm avoiding most of the heat.  I'm giving the dog enough exercise to stay sane.  Last weekend Ollie and I went down to our house in Cape Cod for the 4th of July.  I ended up coming back early because it was just too crowded and frantic.  I didn't even attempt to go do my annual; beach run or my long ride on the rail trail.  Maybe I'm turning into a hermit, but I was a bit disconcerted by all the people and how stressed out they were, so I came back.  Today We are going to talk about all kinds of bodily fluids.  Actually we are going to talk about ‘The Athlete's Gut' with Dr. Patrick Wilson.  It's his new book from Velo Press that answers the questions around why do I get nauseous or gassy or poopy when I'm running and racing?  In section One I'm going to talk about sweat – because I realize that my half hearted treatment of hot weather running was a bit thin.  In Section two I'll talk about why certainty in an uncertain environment is so powerful. My work is very busy, but I'm having a good summer.  I actually threw my hat in the ring for another role at this company.  I have an interview tomorrow.  I know there are a lot of job seekers out there these days.  So I have a tip for you.  There will come a point in that interview where you will get a hard question that you don't know the answer to and when you do, you lean back, get a faraway look in your eyes, channel your inner Rutger Hauer and say: “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..” That won't get you the job but you'll be the topic of conversation in HR for weeks! On with the show.

He earned a PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Minnesota and completed post-doctoral training in sports nutrition at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Wilson has authored over 50 scientific articles that span the disciplines of exercise science, sports nutrition, and health. He is the author of the recently released book, The Athlete's Gut: The Inside Science of Digestion, Nutrition, and Stomach Distress. Wilson is also a credentialed registered dietitian through the Commission on Dietetic Registration.  The gut does many wondrous things for us. Without it, we surely couldn't exist. For many an athlete, however, the gut can also be a source of consternation before, during, and after exercise. Have you ever made a pre-race trip to the Porta Potty due to an uneasy gut? Or ducked into some roadside greenery mid-race because of an angry bowl? Or hurled up your breakfast in the loo before a big game? If yes, you're just one of the innumerable number of athletes that have been plagued by gut issues. What is so often vexing about these gut problems is that they can have many different causes, and consequently, they often aren't fixable with a single solution.

Today we talk with Patrick Wilson, author of the Athletes Gut: The Inside Science of Digestion, Nutrition, and Stomach Distress.  The Athlete’s Gut makes sense of the complicated gastrointestinal tract and offers solutions to the tummy troubles that keep athletes from enjoying and excelling in their sport.   Questions We Tackle: Why Dr. Wilson wanted to focus his work on the athlete's gut. The majority of endurance athletes suffer from some kind of gut problem during training and competition. Symptoms like nausea, cramping, bloating, side stitches, and the need to defecate can negatively impact an athlete’s performance.  The topic is discussed more and a topic of interest is it because there are more gut problems that athletes are experiencing than in years past? Wilson shares with us his top 5 tips for managing gut issues. What should an athlete use? We tackle what is better- formulated products vs a more whole-food approach.  So You Know He’s Legit: Patrick Wilson is an associate professor of exercise science and directs the Human Performance Laboratory at Old Dominion University.

Based on research into the various paths the Covid-19 disease can track in the human body, it’s apparent that the entire body—from the inflammation in the brain to swelling (redness) in the toes—can be affected.It’s also recognized that people over the age of 65—especially those with comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular, liver, and kidney disease, are at greater risk to complications, if the disease gains a foothold in the lungs.With advanced age, there is also an inherent risk, without early lifestyle intervention, to vascular dysfunction—specifically arterial stiffness. In essence, the arteries become stiffer, which involves structural and functional changes—leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.Stiff arteries can lead to buffering changes in large, central arteries and increases in blood pressure, and blood flow pulsatility, comment researchers from the Human Performance Laboratory at Syracuse University in New York, who published "Effects of Whey Protein Supplementation on Aortic Stiffness, Cerebral Blood Flow, and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Findings from the Anchors A-Whey Clinical Trail" in the April issue of the journal Nutrients.“Arterial stiffness and subsequent increases in central hemodynamic pulsatility,” say the study authors, “are associated with several pathologies of aging including hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure, renal dysfunction, and retinal damage. Moreover, increased arterial stiffness and central hemodynamic pulsatility are independent predictors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and mortality.”Sciencedurect.com says, “the arterial pulse consists of three components:pressure, vessel diameter, and blood velocity waves. As the pulse wave travels downstream in the vascular tree, the pressure wave moves faster than the blood velocity and diameter pulse. The stiffer the vessel, the faster the pressure wave travels.”These researchers point out that life extension is an important health goal. Independent living and functioning are of equal importance. That requires interventions—like functional fitness and eating strategies—to improve cognition with age.“The brain is a high flow target organ that is particularly sensitive to excessive hemodynamic pulsatility, with central hemodynamic pulsatility potentially infiltrating and damaging the delicate cerebral microvasculature”.According to the Syracuse researchers, numerous studies note relationships between central artery stiffness, pulsatile hemodynamics, cerebrovascular pulsatility, and cognitive function. “Arterial stiffness and cerebral pulsatility also predict cognitive decline with advancing age and incident dementia.”The Syracuse study involved a 12-week, randomized controlled trial designed to examine the effect of whey protein on large artery stiffness, cerebrovascular responses to cognitive activity and cognitive function in older adults.Ninety-nine older adults between 61-73 years of age were recruited, of which 45% were female. Participants were randomly assigned to consume 50 grams per day of whey protein isolate (WPI)—25 grams twice daily—or a iso-carbohydrate control.Prior to the study, there was an initial screening of the participants: a health history questionnaire, visual acuity and color-blindness tests, height, weight, and waist circumference, depressive symptoms and global cognitive function assessment, urinalysis, fasting glucose and lipid levels, physical activity assessment, blood pressure and aortic stiffness assessment, carotid blood flow and stiffness—along with an assessment of cerebral blood flow velocity. These measurements were also completed following the 12-week intervention.Read the rest on mackieshilstone.com:

Regular exercise can slow down the effects of aging on your body! Thanks to some fascinating research, we now have a much better understanding on how a lifetime of exercise can help you overcome the effects of aging. Founded in 1965, the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in Indiana is one of the oldest exercise science labs in North America and for years has been on the cutting edge of research to identify the most effective methods for improving human performance. In the fall of 2018, the Ball State Lab, led by Dr. Scott Trappe, published a study titled, "Cardiovascular and skeletal muscle health with lifelong exercise" which measured the benefits of lifelong participation in exercise by studying a population of 70 year-olds who have participated in exercise for a large majority of their adult lives. In addition, the study compared the physiology of the 70 year-olds to 20-somethings to see how the physiology of the older adults - effected by years of regular exercise - compared to the younger adults and the results were AMAZING! On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Trappe, the director of the Ball State Human Performance Laboratory and the lead author of the study, joins me to discuss the research. Dr. Trappe provides important insights on the findings and shares his tips for how you can receive the long-term benefits of regular exercise. If you needed any additional motivation to get sweaty, this episode will have you reaching for your workout gear and heading for your favorite fitness facility!

In this podcast, Shawn and I nutrient timing. Some of the topics we discuss are: (03:00): Is there a population where nutrient timing post-exercise becomes very important? (06:00): In recent years there has been some studies concluding that nutrient timing is not of great importance as long as total protein for the day is covered, or protein is consumed prior to exercise. What are your thoughts regarding these studies? (39:30): You and your group recently published a review on this topic. What was the conclusion in that review? (42:00): Is there other times except for peri-workout where it can be beneficial to focus on consuming sufficient amounts of protein? (45:40):What is the take home message?

 When it comes to setting up classrooms for children, we get it. Everything in the school, including the restrooms, are kid sized, because we understand they are not adult-sized. Why do we continue to insist on full-size fields, big equipment, and adult rules when it comes to youth sports?

On today’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Andrew Vigotsky joins me to answer audience questions and translate biomechanics literature to clinical practice. Andrew is currently a Master's student in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, concentrating on musculoskeletal biomechanics. His thesis work aims to elucidate the relationship between the shear-wave velocity of muscle, as measured using Supersonic Shear Imaging, and muscle stiffness in vivo. In this episode, Andrew answers: -What is your biggest surprise on engaging clinical practitioners with research evidence? -How much do you feel biomechanics matter when looking at injury and pain development across various exercises? -If you were building your own program to maximize muscle hypertrophy what parameters would you use? -What can we draw from EMG studies and what conclusions are fair to make? -And so many more!   The goal of biomechanics research is to ultimately translate results to the clinic and enhance how clinicians treat their patients. Andrew states, “It’s only after you find those answers that you really understand what your results mean and how your question can affect society.”   Despite the large amount of research done each year in university labs, very little reaches practioners. Andrew notes, “There is a time lag from research to practice in the medical field of about 17 years.” Andrew believes clinicians can improve this transmission rate through a greater focus on science literacy and improved dissemination of new findings.   Best evidence based practice encompasses all elements of a biopsychosocial framework. Andrew believes, “Biomechanics still matters… It’s just in what context does it matter. From the people that are purely biomechanical, the neurophysiological and the pain science stuff matters a lot and we can’t ignore that.”   For more information on Andrew: Andrew is currently a Master's student in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, where he is concentrating on musculoskeletal biomechanics. His thesis work aims to elucidate the relationship between the shear-wave velocity of muscle, as measured using Supersonic Shear Imaging, and muscle stiffness in vivo. He is completing this work in two different labs: the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory and the Neurobionics Lab, under Drs. Sabrina Lee and Elliott Rouse, respectively. Before attending Northwestern, Andrew graduated with a BS in Kinesiology from Arizona State University (ASU). It was during those undergraduate studies that he started getting involved in research; Erin Feser supervised him in ASU's Motion Analysis Laboratory, where he carried out two data collections that resulted in three publications. The studies investigated the effects of load on good morning kinematics and EMG amplitude, the acute effects of anterior thigh foam rolling, and the validity of the modified Thomas test. In addition to Erin's mentorship, I also grew close to Dr. Rick Hinrichs, who taught me a lot about biomechanics both inside and outside of the classroom.  While at ASU, Andrew was also able to secure an internship under Dr. Bret Contreras while he was completing research for his Ph.D. Bret has had a profound impact on how he thinks about movement and sports science. Together, they have published over a dozen papers related to strength, muscle hypertrophy, and physical performance, and have much more in the pipeline. Moreover, he has introduced Andrew to other great minds and researchers, such as Chris Beardsley and Dr. Brad Schoenfeld. After graduating from ASU, Andrew completed pre-requisites for graduate school (i.e., math, physics, and engineering courses) at a local community college while splitting time between two laboratories: the Leon Root, MD Motion Analysis Laboratory, at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and the Human Performance Laboratory, at CUNY Lehman. At HSS, he worked under Dr. Andrew Kraszewski to develop a 3D-mesh model of the gluteus maximus. At CUNY Lehman, he worked under Dr. Brad Schoenfeld to train participants and collect data for a training study, and also designed and carried out a cross-sectional study that investigated the determinants of squat strength, which is currently in peer-review.   If you are interested in learning more about what Andrew has done or reading works that he has published, you can check out it out at ResearchGate, Google Scholar, PubMed, or my CV.   Resources discussed on this show: Andrew Vigotsky Twitter Movement Science Blog   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

In this podcast, Shawn and I discussed Physique vs Sports Nutrition. Some of the topics we discuss are: 1.How you look and how you perform can be two separate things. Working with athletes, do you feel that the focus to look fit can be detrimental for performance in some athletes? 2.When it comes to body composition measurements, people often get obsessed with the numbers, striving to hit a certain body fat percentage. Do the exact numbers really matter that much or is it more of an assessment tool to track body composition? What are the limitations? 3.Do you feel that a lot of the sports nutrition recommendations gets misinterpret when it comes to physique nutrition? For example, carbohydrates and glycogen restoration? 4.Athletes are always looking for what can maximize their performance, while there is a trend in todays fitness industry of: “what’s the least you can do to get results”. What are your thoughts about this trend?

My guest today is Patrick Wilson, PhD and RD. He is Assistant Professor of exercise science in the Human Movement Sciences Department at Old Dominion University, in Norfolk, VA, where he also directs the Human Performance Laboratory. He earned a Ph.D. in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota, where he also received training in the areas of public health and epidemiology. He completed his post-doctoral research training at the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory, specializing in sport nutrition applications for collegiate athletes. And, he is also credentialed as a registered dietitian.    He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications covering a wide variety of sport nutrition-related topics. He has conducted both laboratory- and field-based research examining the effects of nutrition on endurance exercise performance, including the effects of carbohydrate composition on gastrointestinal distress and performance during prolonged running. His studies have included marathon runners, ultra-endurance runners, and Ironman competitors.   In this episode, we cover all the angles on gastrointestinal (GI) distress as it applies to ultra runners. You learn the major factors that influence GI distress and how to maximize your chances of keeping your GI tract happy.   In the wrap-up, he answers two key questions. 1. What is the biggest mistake athletes make regarding food/drink intake and GI distress? 2. What take-home recommendation would you give for athletes to reduce their chances of developing GI distress in ultra events?

My guest today is Scott Trappe, PhD   Dr. Trappe is the Director of the Human Performance Laboratory and John and Janice Fisher Endowed Chair in Exercise Science at Ball State University. He received his undergraduate training at the University of Northern Iowa where he was captain of the swim team. He worked for US Swimming at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs while obtaining his  M.S. at the University of Colorado. His PhD training was with Dr. David Costill at Ball State University followed by post-doctoral training in muscle physiology with Dr. Robert Fitts at Marquette University. For the past 20 years, he has been working with NASA to help optimize the exercise prescription for astronauts.  His work has also been supported by the NIH. Concurrent to the work with NASA, he’s conducted exercise training studies in older adults, aging athletes and various college and elite athletes. Using a whole body to gene approach, he and his colleagues have gained a better understanding of muscle plasticity. He is an expert in the area of adaptations to training and to disuse - or detraining. And, he joins us today to talk about that plasticity, specifically in the area of balancing training with detraining as it may apply to tapering.   In today’s episode Dr. Trappe and I talk about training adaptations, then detraining, then put those together to come to some conclusions about the tapering period where we try to balance these.   The questions I posed to Dr. Trappe include:   Training Genetics. There was a belief that genetics provide each person with a particular range of possibility and that there is a limit set by those genetics for each person such that one person’s maximal potential may be below another’s lower spectrum. Is that correct and to what degree do genetics compare with training for our endurance capacity. What is the time-course for the various adaptations: capillarity, mitochondrial capacity, power, neuromuscular control, etc.? [for clarity, capillarity is the density of capillary blood vessels within skeletal muscle - which is important for oxygen and nutrient delivery ; mitochondrial capacity is the sum of the tools a cell uses for generating ATP while utilizing oxygen] - it will vary based on the volume and intensity but we talk generally about the components. What components continue to develop over years of training and what components of adaptation to endurance are maximized, if any, relatively early (like in the first year or so of regular serious training) - e.g., we don’t continue increasing capillarity indefinitely. Training prescriptions are often designed so that a given hard day of training is maximized while still low enough in density so that the next training day (perhaps 2 days later) can be completed with equivalent volume/intensity. How do we optimize this - there is a spectrum - steady runs every day vs very hard one day that takes many days to recover from…how do we plan for the balance so that we are making the fastest, steady gains in endurance capacity? Some prescription plans cycle three weeks increasing in density (volume or intensity or combination), then back off for a week, then start over with a little increase. Graphically this might look like three steps up and one down, repeat. How does this approach compare to backing off slightly in those three weeks and not stepping down in the fourth week - evening out the 4 weeks so that there is a persistent increase in training density over time. Any benefit of one approach over the other? Cross-training: physiologically useful or can we get more out of staying 100% sport specific and tailoring the workouts carefully (to avoid injury and boredom)? When we evaluate training, the goal is to maximize adaptable stimulus and provide sufficient environment for adaptation. To what extent do easy days (recovery runs) layer onto the stimulus for adaptation: is there a stoking effect that keeps the stimulus maintained until the next tough workout OR do recovery runs somehow promote a more beneficial adaptation environment - where do recovery runs sit in the balance equation of stimulate/adapt? …what do we know about the specific mechanisms of the benefits of easy days (recovery runs) between hard workouts?   Detraining For an endurance runner with capacity X or Y, what is the minimum stimulus required to maintain what they’ve developed; surely this varies for the different components from neuromuscular coordination and control, through muscle bioenergetics…but what do we know about maintaining capacity? Trail running, and many or most ultra marathons are on trails, require both endurance and an endurance in power - due to the elevation changes, both up and down hills. Are these capacities different from a muscle tissue perspective…flat ground endurance vs mountain hills endurance? Do those capacities detrain differently?   Balancing Training Adaptation with Detraining Promoting recovery while resisting losses is the fundamental issue at play in the period called tapering. Whatever you call it, it is the final days or maybe weeks as we approach a key race or event. What are the best practices for tapering for endurance events - what works, what doesn’t? Recovery required from races - 50k-100mile+ all can take a substantial toll on muscle tissue both structurally and functionally. When muscle is trashed - not a lot has been studied in the specific context of ultra marathons but we do know about repeated eccentric loading [eccentric is contraction while a muscle is lengthening - as is required of the quadriceps while running downhill] - what elements of muscle function recover the fastest and what takes the longest to recover? Considerations for races in quick succession (e.g., 100k-100mile 4-6 weeks apart, or 50k 2-3 weeks apart)?   We wrap up with two specific questions: What are the biggest mistakes that Dr. Trappe sees distance runners make in their tapering plans? What three key messages of advice does Dr. Trappe have for ultra marathon runners with regard to tapering?   Should ultra runners use standup desks at work?   LISTEN AND LEARN THE ANSWERS TO THESE PLUS SO MUCH MORE...
