Podcasts about samuele marcora

Most triathlon training focuses on physiology and skills. Dr. David Spindler argues that the brain is the missing piece, and that you can (and should) train your brain to better process pressure, adapt under stress, and execute under fatigue. This episode will teach you how to do this. Dr. David Spindler is a neuroscientist and cognitive performance specialists who has worked with athletes at the very highest level (including with Sir Mark Cavendish, Sam Laidlow, Chelsea Sodaro, Katie Courtney, and Tom Evans) and across sports from cycling, triathlon and trail running through soccer and Formula 1.  HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS:  The brain's central role in athletic performance: coordination, decision-making, focus, emotional regulation, fatigue perception, and recovery. Allostatic load: why amateur triathletes carry far more cognitive stress than professionals, and how to account for it in training. How the brain controls pacing, and why perceived effort rises and the efficiency of firing muscles drops when the brain decides an effort isn't sustainable. Self-efficacy vs. confidence: why they are different, and how to address a lack of self-efficacy as a triathlete. Self-regulation: why understanding how your brain and body behave under stress matters, and how poor self-regulation undermines both triathlon training and the athlete-coach relationship. Joy and happiness as recovery tools: why they are the most effective mediators of cortisol, and how to find joy and happiness in training and life (it's not the same as dopamine hits)   DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode.  The shownotes for today's episode can be found at https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts699/ LINKS AND RESOURCES:  Psychobiology of fatigue during endurance exercise - book chapter containing much of the seminal work of Prof. Samuele Marcora.

No importa cuán fuerte estés, no puedes correr hasta el infinito sin que llegue un punto en que no puedas más. Eso es la fatiga, el momento cuando tu cuerpo dice "basta" y paras de correr. Lógicamente, si corres a ritmo fuerte, ese momento crítico llegará pronto, pero, incluso si el ritmo es fácil, la fatiga llegará también tarde o temprano. Así pues, tenemos un límite, pasado el cual no podemos sostener el esfuerzo. Por eso toda actividad por encima de los 40 segundos es deporte de resistencia: debes resistir el impulso de parar y seguir apretando y apretando hasta que no puedas más. La gran pregunta que abordamos hoy es ¿por qué surge la fatiga? ¿Por qué nos paramos? Y, que conste, no es una pregunta baladí. Porque, en contra de lo que puedas pensar, no paramos porque el cuerpo se quede sin energía, ni porque las fibras musculares se agoten, ni porque el ácido láctico nos salga por las orejas, ni porque el corazón no pueda bombear lo suficiente ni porque tengamos hipertermia. De hecho, incluso los y las medallistas en una olimpiada, que se han dejado absolutamente todo en la pista hasta cruzar la línea de meta, no colapsan allí: siguen corriendo y saludando a la grada y se acercan hasta el cronómetro para fotografiarse junto a la marca conseguida. Entonces, si el cuerpo puede dar siempre un poco más de sí, ¿por qué nos paramos? Creo que ya estás intuyendo la respuesta: en efecto, el determinante último de la fatiga está en tu cabeza. Por supuesto, puedes ser tan cabezota de empujar y empujar tu cuerpo al extremo hasta agotarlo por completo y romperlo. O sea, que el cuerpo tiene un límite real, no imaginado. Pero, aproximarnos a ese límite objetivo o llegar a alcanzarlo depende, como acabo de sugerir, de tu cabezonería. Tú eliges forzar la máquina un poco más o no y, de ese modo, abandonar en medio de una carrera, llegar a la meta haciendo podio, batir tu MMP o hasta morir por golpe de calor y el consiguiente fallo multiorgánico. Comprender cómo funciona exactamente la fatiga, ese diálogo cuerpo-mente, según veremos hoy, nos dará las claves para manejarla. Hoy vamos a entender la fatiga y vamos a repasar cinco estrategias para retrasarla. Porque ¿quién no quiere aprender a retrasar la fatiga? Resistir un poco más puede marcar la diferencia entre ganar o perder, lograr o no una marca personal o incluso aprobar o suspender una prueba física. La tabla de contenidos de hoy es ésta. Primero, vamos a revisar el modelo fisiológico clásico de la fatiga, vamos a repasar sus limitaciones y vamos seguidamente a conocer la explicación alternativa vigente, que es el Modelo Psicobiológico de Samuele Marcora. En segundo lugar, vamos a comprender a fondo los elementos clave del Modelo Psicobiológico: percepción del esfuerzo y motivación. Por último, pertrechados ya con la comprensión del proceso de fatiga, podremos examinar cinco estrategias para mitigarla. Ah, y que sepas de antemano que las cinco son gratis; como de costumbre, nada de prendas compresivas, polímeros de glucosa de enrevesada estructura molecular, mediasuelas con nitrógeno inyectado ni otras parafernalias similares. Sin más dilación, vamos al turrón. --- Sígueme en https://www.instagram.com/correrporsenderos/ donde publico píldoras sobre trail running y deporte endurance a diario en Stories .

In this episode, I talk with Prof Samuele Marcora about how the brain regulates performance, and what we can do about this to go Faster. Prof Marcora is well known in the world of sports science and considered an expert in this subject. He has a Bachelor in Physical Education from the Higher Institute of Physical Education of Lombardy (Italy). A MSc in Human Performance at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (USA), and a PhD in Exercise Physiology at the University of Wales-Bangor (UK). He has taught at the Bangor University (UK) and the University of Kent (UK) , where he was made an honorary Professor. Prof Marcora's research integrates exercise physiology with motivation psychology and cognitive neuroscience to better understand fatigue, endurance performance and physical activity behaviour. He is the author of Sport and the Brain: The science of preparing, enduring and winning, and has over 185 scientific articles, being cited over 10,000 times. He has been a consultant for many organisations including British Ministry of Defence, Juventus, MAPEI Sport and ASICS, and in 2018 he began his post at the University of Bologna, where he teaches applied physiology and training methodology. What we cover in depth How the brain regulates performance What is the difference between pain and fatigue How his model differs from the classic understanding of fatigue, e.g central governor theory What’s going on ‘inside’ when we are racing at the limit and we ‘hear’ the voice inside saying counter productive messages Recommendations for masters rowers to prepare to do their best in a maximum test/race Interventions to maintain/increase performance when feeling fatigued How would you incorporate the application and training plan design How to integrate brain endurance training with traditional training sessions Advice to masters rowers looking to integrate this... a lot of science How brain endurance ties into recovery strategy, role of sleep and the role of meditation The most effective primers to ward off fatigue Recommended visual and audible cues Fatigue mediation/mitigation strategies, any good stories from power/endurance sports? Samuele recommends the following books Endure by Alex Hutchinson Sport and the Brain: The science of preparing, enduring and winning

The PodiumRunner Endurance Podcast is hosted by Ian Sharman, a professional ultra runner and coach with over 200 marathons or ultra finishes and more than 50 wins (www.sharmanultra.com, @sharmanian). We discuss training and racing topics with leading sports scientists and how to practically apply research findings for marathoners and ultra runners. Episode 11: Professor Samuele Marcora and the Psychobiological Model of Endurance Performance This episode, we're talking to exercise physiologist Samuele Marcora. •  We discuss Marcora's psychobiological model of endurance performance and how the limiting factor for how hard and long you can push is the brain, not the body. •  He explains how increased fitness is vital, but mainly through the mechanism of reducing perceived effort, and that perceived effort is what matters most. •  We also discuss motivational intensity. •  We close on practical takeaways to improve your running and racing in the real world. •  Also, we mention the Brunel Mood Scale (or BRUMS) and its applications for athletes. Professor Marcora has studied and worked in the US, UK and Italy and holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Wales-Bangor. He currently teaches applied physiology and training methodology at the University of Bologna and his research integrates exercise physiology with motivation psychology and cognitive neuroscience to better understand fatigue, endurance performance and physical activity behavior. Professor Marcora has authored numerous high-impact scientific publications and he has been a consultant for many organizations including Juventus Football Club, MAPEI Sport and ASICS. In 2013, he rode a BMW GS1200 bike from London to Beijing to investigate fatigue in motorbike riders. You can follow Prof. Marcora on Twitter at @samuelemarcora or visit his website.

Gudiol och Valkeaoja går på djupet kring de olika förklaringsmodeller som finns kring vad det är som begränsar vår fysiska prestation. I det här avsnittet får du bland annat en djupare presentation av den arge italienaren som du så ofta fått höra om i avsnittet. Du kommer också att få höra om en rad väldigt coola och intressanta studier där man har visat att du kan påverka människors prestation bara genom att påverka deras uppfattning över hur jobbigt någonting är. På Tyngre Träningssnacks instagram kan du hitta bilder relaterat till detta (och tidigare) avsnitt.

Mental Fatigue; Brain Endurance Training; Re-broadcast  Can brain training make substantial improvements in endurance performance? Is self-talk really effective? The results from preliminary research are highly encouraging. This week’s guest is the man leading the studies, Professor Samuele Marcora. He is director of research at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University […]

In episode eight of Complementary Training Podcast I am talking to Samuele Marcora. Samuele is a Professor at the University of Kent, investigating the role of mind/brain in endurance performance, fatigue and physical activity. This is a pretty long episode, but full of actionable insights. Some of the topics we are covering are the following:Different models of performance/fatigue – The end of “brainless” physiology?The difference between sense of effort and sense of exertion/exhaustion?The basis of psychobiological model of performance/fatigue and it’s distinction to Noakes/Tucker Central Governor model?Can both models be right? Conscious motivational intensity theory vs. subconscious regulationDifferent constraints at work (volitional/motivational – subconscious – peripheral): e.g. 30sec Wingate, TT in the heat, 80% pVO2max to exhaustionWhat is mental fatigue?The role of mental fatigue in team sports? How to assess it and how to minimize it?Suggested reading for S&C/Sport scientistsSo definitely worth your time if you are interested in the novel research on fatigue and its application in real life settings. Samuele shared novel findings on mental fatigue research and its application in training, especially team sports. Samuele can be find on Twitter @SamueleMarcora and Research Gate. Enjoy!
