It's a bumper Spotlight in a bumper week of big sports news. To cover it comprehensively, Ross & Gareth are joined by Sean Ingle of The Guardian to discuss the election of Kirsty Coventry to lead the International Olympic Committee. We explore her path to victory, enabled by Thomas Bach's support, and how she might lead the organization through looming challenges, including the integrity of the IOC's bid/host city selection process, and women's sport. On the subject of women's sport, Sean also chats to us about World Athletics' announcement that it will introduce pre-clearance screening for athletes wishing to be eligible for the women's category. It's a move that forms part of Sebastian Coe's declaration to 'doggedly' defend women's sport. We explore how sex screening works, and issues it may raise, and solve.We then shift to cycling to discuss a remarkable Milan-San Remo performance by Tadej Pogacar, showcasing superiority and versatility not seen in cycling for a very long time. It tees up the compound score, accounting for power output and performance in both absolute and relative terms. A few odds and ends thrown in wrap up a big show.Show notesTo become a member of Discourse and be part of the conversation, including driving the content of these shows, here's your link to Patron (no wait, it's Patreon).

As you've seen in the title, today's episode will be all about exercise! We have invited Professor Robert Newton to give us all the information about why exercise is medicine and how it can help with fighting cancer. Kendall (NP from Restorative Sexual Health Clinic) will be joining me as my co-presenter for this episode. So... if you've been putting off adding exercise as part of your treatment plan, Dr Newton's detailed explanation will encourage you to take that leap. As will be explained in the podcast, exercise can play a big role in your recovery, especially with providing an environment that is anti-cancer. Dr Robert has emphasised the importance of using highly targeted exercises to address various issues. To help you understand this better, he has provided a great example that we hope will make this clearer. Further into the discussion, Dr Rob shares valuable tips about: types of exercise that is most beneficial inflammation-how exercise fights this statistics from his own research on how powerful the effect of exercise is to improve recovery (50-60% increase on survival) t-cells, myocoids, and other cells that get activated when we exercise the correlation of survival and muscle mass (not fat mass) ideal number of repetitions for exercise how to reach out to an exercise specialist and a lot more These all might sound a bit scientific but Dr Rob will elaborate on these things to make it easy for everyone to understand. In summary, exercise has the power to supercharge your immune system. How? Dr Robert will explain all. But how about sexual function? Well, you must listen to the podcast to know his answer to that! Enjoy listening and we hope you get to learn a lot about the importance of exercise to your life. As always, we encourage you to share this episode to the people you feel who needs it too.

Vi tar en fot i bakken med siste nytt på vår kant før en liten sommerpause og denne episoden snakker vi om væske og salter. Å få i deg væske i varmen er viktig, både for prestasjonsevnen og for å ha god helse ved å unngå alvorlig dehydrering, eller overhydrering for den saks skyld. Ikke bare skal det inntas væske i forbindelse med trening og konkurranse, men innholdet i drikken har også betydning for effekten av den. Hva påvirker hvor mye vi svetter? Er det individuelle forskjeller på hvor mye vi svetter? Hvordan måle væsketap/svetterate? Hvilke tiltak bør du gjøre for å ivareta god væskebalanse?

Horses are dangerous, but we have gear in place to lessen the risk. This week we take a look at the research behind helmets and air vests. Which are the best on the market, who has done the most studies and testing, and if they provide the level of protection we believe they do...or have we been lulled into a false sense of security. Unfortunately, both helmet and cross country vest research took a horrifying turn when we discovered both have involved cadavers.

S4P Radio, sleep science audio abstract review 11: Sleep practices implemented by team sport coaches and sport science support staff. In our latest S4P audio abstract, we look at a new publication from the journal of science and medicine in sport titled “Sleep practices implemented by team sport coaches and sports science support staff: A potential avenue to improve athlete sleep?”. Written by Kathleen Miles, the aim of the study was to assess sleep hygiene knowledge of high-performance team sport coaches and sports science support staff, the sleep practices they implement with athletes; and the barriers to the more frequent use of these practices. You can access Kathleen’s paper at the link below, along with some important information from the Sleep Health Foundation, on good sleep habits and how to achieve them!

Back again (sorry). This time talking about PFP. A lot of people confuse the subtle differences of all the factors that underlie the heading "strength". Many are not interchangeable and should be thought about as separate constructs. This episode looks at how rate of force development may be a large factor in rehabilitation, specifically regarding PFP. Hip rate of force development and strength are impaired in females with patellofemoral pain without signs of altered gluteus medius and maximus morphology. Nunes GS, Barton CJ, Serrão FV.

Over the last 12 months, Nordics have become a key criterion and point of progression for most of our athletes. In today's episode, we go deep on why we love them, - why they are better than a deadlift and RDL for brute eccentric hamstring strength - the mistake we made regarding Corelfits - why the Nordic isn't quite perfect - why sport doesn't serve the hamstring well - how eccentrics affect the collagen and titan in your muscles - and how you can start adding them in without being sore for a week Some resources: This video from David Opar should provide a great summary of all things hamstrings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48MAhno35Lg David Opar and the hamstring injury research group have done a heap of work on the Nordic and its effect on injury risk (this link will take you to a heap of their academic papers which you can read for free) https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=david+opar+hamstring&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXoPXP6rjSAhXDEpQKHefTBAkQgQMIFzAA Also the Nordbord website: https://valdperformance.com/ Fascicle length: http://www.jsams.org/article/S1440-2440(12)00580-4/abstract More on Titin (not Titan): http://jeb.biologists.org/content/217/16/2825.long And collagen content of muscles: http://jap.physiology.org/content/97/1/197.long (a small study but Jacob seems to be onto something)
Rugby is often maligned in the press for its inevitable relationship with concussion, with numerous high-profile incidents only compounding the issue. If your reading is restricted to the newspapers, you’d be forgiven for thinking that a culture of denial is in place, however when you delve deeper, there are numerous examples of innovative and powerful research, all of which is already leading to law & policy changes. One leading light in the sport is the Rugby Football Union (RFU), who are actively conducting policy-informing research, and using this to shape the game in order to maximise player welfare. Steffan Griffin, of the BJSM, caught up with Dr Simon Kemp (CMO), Dr Matt Cross (Professional Rugby Medical Research Officer), and Dr Mike England (RFU’s Community Rugby Medical Director), who provide an insight into their work, which is not only shaping the way the game is played, but provides a fantastic blueprint for other sports to follow. This is Part 1: in the build up to the Berlin Consensus Conference. Timeline: 01:15: Can you give us some insight into the scale of concussion in Rugby Union? 04:00: Are the rising rates due to increased incidence or due to people being more likely to recognise and report it nowadays? 06:45: What is the RFU’s general approach to the management of Concussion? 08:45: Can you tell us a little about the ‘recognise, remove, recover and return’ campaign? 14:00: So the aim is to remove as many concussed players from the pitch as soon as possible: what else is the RFU doing to try and ensure this? 19:15: you have published a number of papers in the BJSM – one of which showed a relationship between concussion and subsequent musculoskeletal injuries – could you please elaborate? 21:50: What does this mean about the return to sport following concussion? How could this influence practice?

Studies: Study 1: What Doesn’t Kill Me: Adversity-Related Experiences are Vital in the Development of Superior Olympic Performance Study 2: Resilience training in the workplace from 2003 to 2014: A systematic review Abstract: Study 1: Objectives: Recent research suggests that experiencing some adversity can have beneficial outcomes for human growth and development. The purpose of this paper was to explore the adversities that the world's best athletes encounter and the perceived role that these experiences play in their psychological and performance development. Design: A qualitative design was employed because detailed information of rich quality was required to better understand adversity-related experiences in the world's best athletes. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Olympic gold medalists from a variety of sports. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: The findings indicate that the participants encountered a range of sport- and non-sport adversities that they considered were essential for winning their gold medals, including repeated non-selection, significant sporting failure, serious injury, political unrest, and the death of a family member. The participants described the role that these experiences played in their psychological and performance development, specifically focusing on their resultant trauma, motivation, and learning. Conclusions: Adversity-related experiences were deemed to be vital in the psychological and performance development of Olympic champions. In the future, researchers should conduct more in-depth comparative studies of Olympic athletes’ adversity- and growth-related experiences, and draw on existing and alternative theoretical explanations of the growth-performance relationship. For professional practitioners, adversity-related experiences offer potential developmental opportunities if they are carefully and purposely harnessed. Study 2: Over a decade of research attests to the importance of resilience in the workplace for employee well-being and performance. Yet, surprisingly, there has been no attempt to synthesize the evidence for the efficacy of resilience training in this context. The purpose of this study, therefore is to provide a systematic review of work-based resilience training interventions. Our review identified 14 studies that investigated the impact of resilience training on personal resilience and four broad categories of dependent variables: (1) mental health and subjective well-being outcomes, (2) psychosocial outcomes, (3) physical/biological outcomes, and (4) performance outcomes. Findings indicated that resilience training can improve personal resilience and is a useful means of developing mental health and subjective well-being in employees. We also found that resilience training has a number of wider benefits that include enhanced psychosocial functioning and improved performance. Due to the lack of coherence in design and implementation, we cannot draw any firm conclusions about the most effective content and format of resilience training. Therefore, going forward, it is vital that future research uses comparative designs to assess the utility of different training regimes, explores whether some people might benefit more/less from resilience training, and demonstrates consistency in terms of how resilience is defined, conceptualized, developed, and assessed. Practitioner points: Despite conceptual and theoretical support for resilience training, the empirical evidence is tentative, with the exception of a large effect for mental health and subjective well-being outcomes. Most programmes utilize a cognitive-behavioural approach to developing resilience .At this stage, there is no definitive evidence for the most effective training content or format, but it would appear wise to include an element of one-to-one training and support based on individual needs.
