Podcasts about research roundup

In today's Research Roundup we bring you four recent studies. How world-class Norwegian endurance coaches programme strength and speed, the factors determining how a runner's physiology holds up over two and a half hours of running, a defence of the critical power model written by the people who built it, and a polarised versus high-intensity trial in cyclists with a result neither of us expected.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:Strength and speed training across eight Olympic endurance sports (including triathlon, swimming, cycling and running), from 12 world-class Norwegian coaches whose athletes have won over 400 international medals. How many hours a year each sport does, and which sport sits at the bottom of the table.What those sessions look like: exercises, sets, reps and how close to failure the athletes are taken, which is a long way from what randomised trials prescribe. Plus the 10 hours a year of speed training every sport did, and what it looks like.How Daniel and Mikael each place strength and speed work in a real training week, where they differ from the Norwegian model, and why an age-group athlete in their forties is a different case from an Olympic athlete in their twenties.Physiological resilience (durability) during two and a half hours of continuous unfed running, with thresholds, running economy and VO2max retested at the end. Which variables fall most, which barely move, and how runners of different ability differ.Mikael sets the running economy decline against what a pair of carbon shoes buys you and asks which is bigger. Plus the two qualities that separated the runners who held up, one aerobic and one from the gym.Ten common criticisms of the critical power model, answered by the group that built it: whether CP is just FTP renamed, whether the model claims you can hold CP forever, whether a power law fits the curve better, and where the authors concede most.Critical power as a moving number rather than a fixed one, what that does to how you prescribe a threshold session, and the gap between the test durations the paper recommends and the ones Mikael actually uses.Polarised against high intensity with the hard sessions held identical, three a week for six weeks, one group adding four hours a week of easy riding. What the time trial showed, and why Mikael thinks the result is wrong (a strong statement!).SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:Follow Daniel Rowland and Endurance Ideas and Implementation on his website, Substack and Instagram.The shownotes for today's episode can be found here.The full podcast episode archives (including category filters) can be found here.Related episodes:New Research on Torque Training, Ketones, Carb Loading and Pacing | Daniel Rowland | EP#698The 10% Rule Applies to Your Long Run, Not Your Week | Research Roundup | EP#709Is VO2max more important than lactate threshold? | Research roundup | EP#705[Triathlon Science] Durability decoded – a 2025 perspective with Michele Zanini, PhDStudies discussed:Strength and Speed Training Practices for Olympic Endurance Sports: Insights From World-Class Coaches - Haugen et al. 2026Determinants of Physiological Resilience Among Recreational-To-Competitive Endurance Runners - Malinen et al. 2026Ten Common Criticisms of the Critical Power Model Revisited - Black et al. 2026The effectiveness of polarized versus high-intensity training in moderately trained cyclists: a randomized parallel-design study - Moran-MacDonald et al. 2026Best-Practice Training Characteristics Within Olympic Endurance Sports as Described by Norwegian World-Class Coaches - Sandbakk et al. 2025Strength Training Improves Running Economy Durability and Fatigued High-Intensity Performance in Well-Trained Male Runners: A Randomized Control Trial - Zanini et al. 2025Effects of Exercise Training on Mitochondrial and Capillary Growth in Human Skeletal Muscle: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression - Mølmen et al. 2024 SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration produce our favourite gels, sports drinks, and electrolyte and carbohydrate products here at That Triathlon Show and Scientific Triathlon.

Today on the Yoga Medicine Podcast, Tiffany Cruikshank and co-host Katja Bartsch explore the latest research on strength training during pre- and post-menopause. Using a newly published systematic review and meta-analysis of 126 studies involving more than 4,000 women, they unpack what the evidence actually says about building strength and improving body composition in different stages of reproductive aging. Together, Tiffany and Katja separate common myths from current research, discussing progressive overload, lean muscle, body composition, estrogen, and why strength gains remain possible well into midlife and beyond. They also explore why consistency and enjoyment may be just as important as the specific type of resistance training you choose, offering practical takeaways for yoga practitioners, teachers, and anyone looking to age well.  "When we intervene, when we start to create a plan... the capacity to build strength is the same." — Tiffany Cruikshank. — What You'll Learn: Overview of the latest research on strength training across the female lifespan [01:25] Why strength gains remain possible after menopause [08:47] Body composition changes with strength training [16:25] Why enjoyment and consistency are key to long-term success [21:36] Current research gaps and unanswered questions [27:07] Shifting the focus from weight loss to feeling and functioning your best [31:08] How yoga complements strength training for lifelong health [32:34] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Isenmann E, Geisler S, Havers T, Siegert F, Hemke F, Held S.

Research Round-Up: Sterols and Bile Acids by Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease

Daniel Rowland and Mikael are back for another research roundup with four recent studies. What blood biomarkers do and do not tell you about training load in elite triathletes, why two athletes with the same VO2max can have very different thresholds, what actually predicts running injuries in a cohort of 5,200 runners, and whether supersets deliver the same strength gains in a third less gym time. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: VLaMax (maximal glycolytic flux) and metabolic thresholds: the first evidence in real athletes that at a given VO2max, a higher glycolytic rate means a lower threshold power. How VLaMax is measured, why sprint power on its own tells you little to nothing, and whether you can and should measure it and base training decisions off it. How much running is too much: in 5,205 runners tracked over 18 months, a single run 10 to 30% longer than the longest run of the previous 30 days came with a 64% higher injury risk, and bigger jumps than that led to injury risk increasing by well over 100%. Why the acute:chronic workload ratio and the classic weekly 10% rule showed little or no relationship with injury, and why you should never use the performance management chart for controlling running load. Practical long run progression for a marathon or an Ironman, and the one TrainingPeaks chart Mikael looks at more than any other. Four seasons of blood urea and creatine kinase in 20 elite (some world class) triathletes: urea tracks training load, CK does not, and a single reading against a reference range means almost nothing. Why the ratio of objective to subjective training load may be the most useful signal a coach has, and a heuristic for using it in practice. Supersets versus traditional sets: the same strength, hypertrophy, power and body composition gains in 36% less time, 44 minutes per session against 69, and how to apply that to a triathlete's lower body dominant strength programme.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) was one of the first inherited metabolic disorders to be recognised, but there is still plenty to discover. Silvia Radenkovic and Rodrigo Starosta are joined by Dr Cary Harding and Dr Wendy Smith to discuss evolving treatments, updated management guidelines and where PKU research is heading next. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of their institutions or organisations.

A research roundup episode, where Dr. Gabriele Gallo (of KnowledgeIsWatt) and myself cover four recent research papers and how they might help us train better and improve our understanding of triathlon and endurance performance HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  Do the same training program twice - get different results? (and how Gabriele and I disagree slightly on the conclusions to draw from this study) Strength training is beneficial for cycling performance, but how beneficial is it really? And is it beneficial for everybody? Finally, how should you structure your strength training program to make it so?  A massive review on the impact of different types of endurance training on mitochondrial and capillary growth, and VO2max improvements.  What separates athletes of different performance levels is not how high they can push their threshold as a percentage of VO2max, but how high the VO2max is in the first place.  SHOWNOTES, LINKS, RESOURCES AND RELATED EPISODES:  Follow Gabriele and KnowledgeIsWatt on his website, Substack and Instagram The shownotes for today's episode can be found here.  The full podcast episode archives (including category filters) can be found here.  Limited reproducibility of individual physiological adaptations to repeated endurance exercise training - Odden et al. 2026 Heavy strength training effects on physiological determinants of endurance cyclist performance: a systematic review with meta-analysis - Llanos-Lagos et al. 2025 Effects of Exercise Training on Mitochondrial and Capillary Growth in Human Skeletal Muscle: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression - Mølmen et al. 2024 Elite Aerobic Endurance Performance: Is It Really Related to Lactate Threshold Expressed Relative to Peak Oxygen Uptake? - Johansen et al. 2025 Strength training improves performance and pedaling characteristics in elite cyclists - Rønnestad et al. 2014 Five-Minute Power-Based Test to Predict Maximal Oxygen Consumption in Road Cycling - Sitko et al. 2022 SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration produce our favourite gels, sports drinks, and electrolyte and carbohydrate products here at That Triathlon Show and Scientific Triathlon.

Back from the ADSA annual meeting in Milwaukee, Brad shares highlights from several calf-focused dairy studies. This episode covers new research on colostrum management for beef-on-dairy crossbred calves, including how feeding practices differ between retained dairy heifers, beef-on-dairy calves, and calves not kept on farm.Brad also reviews a study comparing fixed-age weaning with starter-intake-based weaning in Holstein and Angus-Holstein calves, plus new work using ear tag sensors to track calf behavior, rumination, eating, and activity through 150 days of age. The episode wraps up with research from the University of Florida on colostrum yield, quality, and genetics, including how season, parity, calf sex, gestation length, and days dry can influence colostrum outcomes.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

In this Research Roundup episode of the Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, we dive into the long-standing gaps in women's sports science and why female athletes have been consistently underserved in research, coaching, and performance conversations. From hormone fluctuations and menstrual cycle myths to underrepresentation in clinical studies, this episode unpacks how outdated research models have shaped the way women are trained, fueled, and supported in sport. We explore the real-world impact this has on performance, recovery, injury risk, and long-term health, while highlighting the growing movement toward better science and more individualized approaches for female athletes. If you've ever felt like training advice wasn't built with women in mind, this conversation is for you.   Episode Highlights: ✅ Why women have historically been excluded from sports research ✅ How hormonal cycles impact training, recovery, and performance ✅ Common myths about female athletes and strength training ✅ The consequences of using male-based research for women's programs ✅ Injury risk, recovery, and fueling differences in women ✅ Why individualized coaching matters for female athletes ✅ The future of women-focused sports science and performance research      APPLY FOR COACHING https://10tkto34p7j.typeform.com/to/aI4uHZgU     Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast    Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:  Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/

Season 2 of the JIMD Research Round-Up begins with a deep dive into classical homocystinuria (CBS deficiency). Hosts Silvia Radenkovic and Rodrigo Starosta are joined by two internationally recognised experts, Dr Andrew Morris (Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, UK) and Professor Kim Chapman (Children's Hospital Los Angeles, USA). In this episode, they explore: - The clinical spectrum of homocystinuria, from childhood presentations to adults diagnosed after thrombosis - Why the condition is still frequently missed or misdiagnosed - The overlap with Marfan syndrome and the unanswered questions surrounding disease mechanisms - The strengths and limitations of current newborn screening programmes - Dietary treatment, pyridoxine responsiveness, and the challenges faced by patients and families - Emerging therapies including enzyme substitution therapy, chaperone therapies, and ongoing clinical trials - Why there is genuine optimism for the future of homocystinuria care and research A fascinating discussion covering six decades of progress in homocystinuria and the next generation of treatments that may transform care.

In this episode, Yoga Medicine founder Tiffany Cruikshank and Katja Bartsch take a deep dive into the latest stretching research and what it means for yoga teachers, athletes, and movement professionals. Together, they unpack the latest recommendations around stretching for flexibility, stiffness, strength, hypertrophy, vascular health, recovery, and injury prevention while exploring the limitations of stretching as a standalone tool. Tiffany and Katja discuss why prolonged static stretching before explosive activity may impair athletic performance, how longer-held yin-style stretches may influence tissue stiffness, and why emerging vascular research around stretching is generating so much interest. They also explore why yoga recovery likely involves far more than just stretching mechanics, including nervous system regulation, breathwork, and relaxation. "We do not overestimate or underestimate what stretching can do." — Katja Bartsch. — What You'll Learn: What the new 2025 stretching consensus paper reveals about flexibility research [02:57] • Definitions of static, dynamic, and PNF stretching in both research and yoga practice [06:00] • Acute vs. chronic stretching effects on range of motion and mobility [13:54] • Recommendations for improving long-term flexibility and maintaining mobility with age [20:09] • The "Goldilocks" principle of tissue stiffness and athletic performance [27:24] • Why longer yin-style holds may influence connective tissue adaptation [32:12] • How stretching impacts strength, explosive performance, and warm-ups [34:32] • Research on stretching for strength gains and muscle hypertrophy [37:36] • Emerging evidence around stretching and vascular health [42:01] • Breathwork, nervous system regulation, and yoga's broader therapeutic effects [51:24] • Why stretching alone may not improve recovery or prevent soreness [54:07] • The limitations of flexibility-only approaches for injury prevention [1:00:13] • Why individualized mobility, stability, and strength work matter in yoga practice [1:01:40] • Final takeaways on stretching frequency, recovery, and long-term mobility [1:04:32] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Warneke K, Thomas E, Blazevich AJ, Afonso J, Behm DG, Marchetti PH, Trajano GS, Nakamura M, Ayala F, Longo S, Babault N, Freitas SR, Costa PB, Konrad A, Nordez A, Nelson A, Zech A, Kay AD, Donti O, Wilke J.

Send us a textThe quest for better outcomes in pediatric IBD has taken significant strides forward, and Dr. Jeremy Adler returns to Bowel Moments to guide us through the most promising research developments of the past year. Dr. Adler is a clinical Professor in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Michigan and serves as the Interim Director of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Center. We discuss how medication dosing strategies have evolved dramatically, with compelling evidence showing that body surface area measurements work better than traditional weight-based dosing for younger children. This seemingly simple adjustment yields dramatically better results, particularly as children grow and develop through puberty. Regular therapeutic drug monitoring—checking medication levels every 6-12 months or more frequently during growth spurts—has also proven critical for maintaining disease control in the pediatric population.Prevention emerges as the cornerstone of Dr. Adler's research and clinical philosophy. The fascinating GEM study has identified changes in gut permeability that occur before IBD diagnosis, potentially opening doors to early intervention before symptoms appear. Meanwhile, Dr. Adler's own groundbreaking research demonstrates that early, aggressive treatment with anti-TNF medications can prevent serious complications like perianal fistulas, fistulas, and abscesses—complications that significantly impact quality of life and body image.We navigate the complex terrain of treatment barriers, from insurance denials to psychological resistance to "stronger" medications. Dr. Adler challenges common misconceptions, noting that injectable or infusion medications often have better safety profiles than some oral options that patients perceive as "less intense." The conversation turns to normalizing surgical options like ostomies when needed, with Dr. Adler advocating for early introduction to surgical teams—not because surgery is imminent, but because establishing relationships reduces trauma if intervention becomes necessary.With new medication mechanisms emerging and genetic markers helping to personalize treatment approaches, the research landscape offers real hope for children with IBD. Join us for this candid, informative discussion about protecting children from the worst outcomes of IBD through early intervention, personalized treatment, and collaborative care models that address both physical and mental wellbeing.Links: Research article- Preventing Fistulas and Strictures Among Children with Crohn's DiseaseJournal Article referenced- National Perspectives of Barriers by Insurance and Pharmacy Benefits Managers in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseImproveCareNowLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!
