Join DiscourseDiscourse is our VIP community where listeners share insights, opinions and perspectives on the stuff we love to talk about. You can become a member by making a small monthly pledge hereShow notesIn a packed edition of Spotlight, we start our Discourse Digest segment with a dive into the men's 5000m, where non-African athletes have taken control of the rankings and victories so far in 2025. Is this an aberration, or the beginning of a trend in distance running? We discuss what might be shifting in the sport to close the gap.Next, we explore the phenomenon of athletes switching national allegiance—this time with Jamaican sprinters now competing for Turkey. Ross and Gareth look at historical examples from track, rugby, cricket and football, while defending the right of athletes to make these switches, and the necessity for sport to minimize them. Discussion shifts to the case of a trans cricketer who has claimed “no advantage” based on test results and comparisons to females. Both the science and logic behind the appeal are bluntly rebutted by Ross, who explains how the science is being misused, and that these "data snapshots" actually reveal a mediocre male with advantage rather than a trans athlete without advantage. We also return to youth sport after Gareth flagged eye-catching performances by 10- and 13-year-olds in the UK. While their talent is undeniable, we ask whether early hype might do more harm than good?In Ross Replies (30:00), Ross has an 'off-week', because listener Ewan Morris' fascinating insights carry the segment. He explained how some young athletes experience an expiratory flow limitation during breathing, because lung growth outpaces airway development, as yet another challenge that adolescent athletes experience in the journey to adulthood.In Listener Lens (33:51), we respond to Sean's question about muscle cramps in an ultrarunner he coaches. Ross breaks down two theories—electrolytes vs. fatigue-induced failure of neural regulation—and explains why cramp is far more about the nervous system than sodium and magnesium. We also learn the fascinating reasons why pickle juice may work... but not for the reasons people think, and offer suggestions for what Sean might consider adding to the plan.In Center Stage (53:33), we revisit sports science's replication crisis. Gareth shares his frustration at the sciences, while Ross explores the structural issues behind shaky science, and offers a partial defence of the failures to produce robust science.And Finally (1:15:16), we look ahead to Faith Kipyegon's attempt at a sub-four minute mile, which haunted Ross' dreams, and we make our predictions.Some linksDistance running shifts: Aberration or a narrowing gap?A review exploring the causes of muscle crampsStudy showing that electrolyte loss is not associated with muscle crampThe pickle juice effect Hosted on Acast.

We're here! It's race week for the Western States 100. This episode talks through how we're feeling before the moonshot. Hopefully there are helpful similarities to all of the big, scary things in your lives!We also break down a new study that feels like the Manhattan Project of sports science, testing "replicability" in the field. You know it's serious when there are 99 authors! It found low replicability rates, particularly related to effect size, with massive implications for how we think about interpreting research.Finally, we answer a question about building belief in life. Thank you so much for being here along the journey! A year ago, this would have seemed unthinkable. But with the love and support of so many people lifting us up, here's what we've learned in that time:All big scary goals are unthinkable before they happen.Training is the test, and racing is the celebration. Time to celebrate! “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.” -Mary Oliver (Ollie's namesake)BELIEVE.WILDLY.PRECIOUSLY.-David and MeganFollow Huzzah for scholarship details and more! https://www.instagram.com/thehuzzahhub/Click "Claim Reward" for free credit at The Feed here: thefeed.com/swap Check out the least expensive carb mix on the market from TheFeedLab: https://thefeed.com/products/the-feed-lab-high-carb-drink-mixBuy Janji's amazing gear: https://janji.com/ (code "SWAP")For weekly bonus podcasts, articles, and videos: patreon.com/swap

In this episode, we're joined by Dr Joe Warne, founder of the Sports Sciences Replication Center (SSRC) and senior author of a landmark new study that should send shockwaves through the world of sports and exercise science. Joe and his team undertook an enormous replication effort—repeating the methods of previously published research to see if the results hold up. The outcome? Just 28% of the studies could be replicated. Even more striking, the effect sizes dropped by an average of 75% when replicated.This isn't just a dent in confidence—it's a crater. Scientific journals are trusted as sources of truth, yet Joe's work shows that the majority of findings in this field don't hold water. Perhaps even more concerningly, only 14% of original study authors were willing to share data or collaborate on replications.We dig into how the SSRC pulled off this monumental study, why so many findings failed to replicate, and what it reveals about the deep structural issues in the field. From academic incentives to publish fast and flashy, to the natural resistance researchers have to being challenged and falsified, we explore how these forces fuel unreliable and unreproducible science.Finally, we ask the tough question: what should coaches, athletes, and practitioners do when research can't be trusted? Joe shares his candid thoughts on how science must change—and what needs to happen to restore faith in the evidence base.This is a must-listen conversation on one of the most pressing issues in science today.LinksMore of Joe - if you join Discourse by making a small monthly pledge here, you can be like the cool kids and hang out with Joe in our VIP Community!Meta analysis in Strength and conditioningA webinar Joe Warne did on these issuesThe three replication papers:The proposal that outlines the selection of papers in more detailThe 28% paper that outlines the findingsReflections from Joe and some of the team on the process and findings Hosted on Acast.

Join Discourse for moreDiscourse is the best Sports Science community on the internet, and yes we are biased. But if you want to see for yourself, membership is a monthly pledge away, and then you too can gain access to opinion, insight and analysis from The Real Science of Sport army!Show notesThis week in Spotlight, we kick of with a Discourse Digest exploring the UCI's equipment rules — most notably, 40cm minimum handlebar width. It may seem like a technical tweak, but the implications are significant: many female cyclists will now have to widen their bars to comply, sparking criticism that the rule is not only arbitrary but discriminates against women. We dig into what it says about decision-making at the UCI, and how governance in the sport appears to be crying out for systematic, deliberate and openly communicated processes.In Listener Lens (11:56), we tackle a great Discourse question from Liam, a coach working with a 13-year-old female runner whose progress has stalled. We explore why this happens to young athletes, especially girls, and how the short-term incentives we create in youth sports cause challenges for the most well-intentioned coaches and parents. It's a conversation about patience, perspective, and reframing our expectations to accept that sporting development is very rarely linear.Then, in a new Ross Replies segment (29:20), a question from Nicol on how the body switches from fat to carbs during exercise opens the door to a deep dive into metabolic regulation. We break down what controls fuel selection during exercise, and why a new paradigm has emerged: instead of trying to promote fat oxidation to spare carbohydrates, elite athletes are now trying to minimize it. Why? To enhance performance by maximizing oxidation efficiency with carbs.In Center Stage 51:57), we discuss some of the tech details that have emerged in support of Faith Kipyegon's sub-4:00 mile attempt, and wonder what the quiet collapse of the Grand Slam Track series means for the sport? And finally (64:54) Gareth notes that Mondo Duplantis' pole vault dominance shows no signs of abating, leading us to wonder why some dominance is lauded, while others are doubted, and to reflect on huge sporting mismatches.LinksArticle on the UCI's handlebar decisionPaper from Norway comparing how boys and girls improve in athletic events during the teenage yearsThe article that shows how rare it is to be top 100 ranked at 18, 20 and as an adult, and that most successful adults aren't at the same level as juniorsArticle covering fundamentals of adolescent development and its implications for sportHow the body shifts from fat to carbs (Discourse member access only)Sean Ingle described some of the tech Nike is putting into the sub-4 mile attempt Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Grant Elliott, aka RehabFix, to dive deep into something every entrepreneur battles at some point: back and neck pain. As someone who's dealt with a ruptured C5-C6 and L5-S1, I wanted answers—and Grant delivered. We talked about how movement, not surgery or rest, is often the real cure. He broke down why those “random” injuries (like mine from rolling in bed or standing up on a plane) actually aren't random at all, and how small daily habits stack up to chronic pain. If you're an entrepreneur who travels, sits too much, skips workouts, or just wants to future-proof your spine, this one is a must-listen.

In this week's episode of the Science for Sport podcast, host Richard Graves is joined by Leicester Tigers' Head of Performance, Matt Parr, a former professional rugby player turned strength and conditioning expert with experience across both rugby union and league. Matt shares his fascinating journey from the pitch to the performance department, offering valuable insights drawn from his time at Leicester Tigers and Catalan Dragons. With a career that's spanned both codes of rugby, Matt dives into the key physical demands of each sport and how training must adapt to meet them. He also lifts the lid on what really goes into building strength, power, and robustness across a long and gruelling season. In this episode, you'll learn: * The real physical differences between rugby union and rugby league – and why it's not just “the same shaped ball” * How to build meaningful preseason plans that lay the foundation for success * Why strength underpins everything, and how it connects to power and injury prevention * The importance of athlete conversations over just relying on data * How Matt handles return-to-play protocols and balances performance with player wellbeing Whether you're a coach in pro sport or working at grassroots level, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways and thought-provoking reflections on what it really takes to keep athletes performing at their best.

What's it really like behind the scenes of an England Rugby Six Nations campaign? How do you fuel elite athletes to perform at their peak, and recover just as hard? This week, host Richard Graves is joined by the brilliant Dr. James Morehen,lead performance nutritionist for England Rugby and founder of the Performance Nutrition Network. With a career that's taken him from snowboarding in Canada to backstage of international test matches, James brings a fascinating, no-nonsense look at the art (and science) of elite-level nutrition. If you're a coach, athlete, nutritionist or just curious about what fuels champions, this episode is packed with practical insights, powerful stories, and a few grassroots tips that could change your game. In this episode, you'll learn: * How to fuel for optimal performance and recovery during high-stakes tournaments like the Six Nations * The importance of preparation, trust, and consistency in elite sports nutrition * Why carbohydrates aren't the enemy, and how they're periodised to match training loads * How halftime nutrition strategies can make or break a second-half performance * The real-world challenges of fuelling players during international travel and changing environments * Simple, effective advice for grassroots players and coaches to improve fuelling and recovery on a budget * Why Jaffa Cakes and chocolate milk still have a place in post-match recovery * What inspired James to go from aspiring S&C coach to becoming one of the top performance nutritionists in UK sport * The importance of building trust with athletes and the subtle art of sideline communication * James' thoughts on balancing consistency with cultural curiosity when travelling with elite teams Whether you're working at the elite level or coaching an U16s team on Sundays, this episode offers something for everyone.

Here comes the heat! Turned on the AC in the house yesterday and it's a nice 64° inside. Thankfully, it's going to cool off tomorrow with some showers & thunderstorms expected in the area. In the news this morning, multiple injuries in a "targeted attack" in Colorado, RIP to Loretta Swit, an update on some of the road construction happening in the La Crosse area, a UTV crashed into a K9 squad car, and the Bloomer Brewing Company closed it's doors over the weekend. In sports, the Brewers have won 7 in a row…including a weekend sweep of the Phillies, the Pacers beat the Knicks on Saturday to advance to the NBA finals, the Stanley Cup final begins on Wednesday, Ryan Blaney won in Nashville last night, the Rockies set new record for futility in MLB, and Zion Williamson has been accused of rape & abuse by an ex-girlfriend. Elsewhere in sports, Scott Hanson will be back on RedZone this year, John Brenkus from ESPN's "Sports Science" has died, and the world of boxing has new "sex testing" policies. Talked about what's on TV today and some of the trailers that came out this weekend, including "Happy Gilmore 2" and the new "Frankenstein" film. Plus, the schedule for the final season of "Stranger Things". Very cool story about a recent high school grad who had to work his shift at Burger King right after his graduation ceremony, and another great story about a toddler that was rescued by police after it got onto the luggage belt at an airport. Today is "National Leave Work Early Day", so we looked at some popular excuses for cutting out of work early…and we also discussed a list of things that happened a decade ago. Some food stuff this morning, including jalapenos in your wine, a caviar & cocktail combo that costs $33,000, Starbucks looking for influencers to fly around the world, Did you catch Peyton Manning playing golf this weekend with Scottie Scheffler? Needless to say, it didn't go well for the former Colts QB. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked flight attendant, a bunch of bees that escaped from a semi-truck, a woman who was stealing items from graves in cemeteries, a woman who woke up to a stranger sucking on her toes in Sacramento,and a snake that bit a dude's wiener when he was trying to take a piss.

Rob and Lonzo talk Sports Science and Interview Jon Blau from the Post and Courier

C'est une idée qui circule depuis des années dans le monde du sport : porter un maillot rouge augmenterait les chances de victoire. Cela peut sembler anecdotique, voire superstitieux, mais cette affirmation est en réalité appuyée par plusieurs études scientifiques sérieuses. Couleur de la puissance et de l'agressivité, le rouge pourrait avoir un véritable impact psychologique et physiologique, tant sur les adversaires que sur les arbitres… voire sur les athlètes eux-mêmes.Une première étude fondatrice : les Jeux d'Athènes 2004En 2005, une étude publiée dans la revue Nature par Russell Hill et Robert Barton, chercheurs à l'Université de Durham (Royaume-Uni), a analysé les résultats de plusieurs compétitions de taekwondo, boxe, lutte gréco-romaine et lutte libre aux Jeux olympiques d'Athènes en 2004. Dans ces disciplines, les sportifs étaient assignés aléatoirement à porter un maillot rouge ou bleu.Les résultats sont clairs : les athlètes en rouge ont gagné 55 % des matchs, une différence statistiquement significative. Et plus le niveau était élevé (quart de finale, demi-finale, finale), plus l'avantage du rouge se confirmait. Les chercheurs ont conclu que le rouge pouvait augmenter la perception de dominance ou d'agressivité, influençant à la fois l'adversaire… et le jugement des arbitres.Football, rugby… même constat ?Depuis cette étude, d'autres recherches ont exploré l'effet du rouge dans divers sports :En football, une étude de 2008 publiée dans le Journal of Sports Sciences a examiné les résultats des équipes de Premier League anglaise entre 1946 et 2003. Les clubs portant traditionnellement du rouge, comme Manchester United, affichaient un taux de victoire à domicile de 63 %, contre 55 % pour ceux portant du bleu.En rugby, une étude menée sur le Tournoi des Six Nations a également montré que les équipes en rouge gagnaient légèrement plus souvent, mais les résultats restent discutés.Pourquoi le rouge aurait-il un tel effet ?Les explications avancées sont multiples :1. Psychologie évolutionniste : dans la nature, le rouge est souvent associé à la dominance (pensons à la coloration de certains primates ou oiseaux). Les humains pourraient avoir hérité de cette sensibilité.2. Effet psychologique sur l'adversaire : le rouge pourrait inconsciemment intimider ou provoquer une surestimation de l'agressivité de l'autre.3. Influence sur les arbitres : des tests ont montré que des juges donnent des scores plus élevés à des sportifs portant du rouge que du bleu, dans des situations visuellement identiques (Hagemann et al., 2007).4. Effet sur la performance du porteur : se sentir plus fort ou dominant en rouge pourrait améliorer la performance, par effet placebo ou confiance accrue.ConclusionIl ne suffit pas d'enfiler un maillot rouge pour gagner, bien sûr. Mais les données montrent que dans certains contextes sportifs, le rouge peut fournir un petit avantage psychologique, notamment dans les sports d'opposition ou lorsqu'un arbitre doit trancher. Une preuve supplémentaire que le sport se joue autant dans la tête que dans les muscles. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The 2025 NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition, an intensive 4-week accelerator programme for student entrepreneurs, which is now in its 11th year, has commenced today at University College Dublin (UCD) with 11 early-stage ventures and 22 participating students. The participating ventures are focused on a wide range of business ideas including; sustainable agriculture, robotics, edtech, smart sensing systems for healthcare, sustainable fashion and music. A €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize, sponsored by Terra Solar, is available for the overall winning venture at the end of this year's competition. The accelerator programme is run by NovaUCD, the innovation and start-up hub, as a framework to support UCD undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to work together to develop and grow start-up companies. The aim of the accelerator is to assist the students in refining their start-up ideas through a series of structured workshops, including taught content from industry experts, interactive workshops, regular mentoring and pitching sessions. Caroline Gill, Innovation Pathway Manager at NovaUCD who manages the competition said, "Over the next month we will be supporting the participating student entrepreneurs as they begin the process of accelerating their business ideas into early-stage start-ups. A key objective of this annual competition is to provide the students with the skills, the confidence, and the opportunity to further develop their ideas and hopefully in time launch their start-ups in Ireland and even internationally." The 4-week accelerator, which uses the Lean Startup and Business Model Canvas approach, includes a series of structured and interactive workshops delivered by Raomal Perera, Lean Disruptor. Topics such as, customer development; value proposition; working in teams; design thinking; prototyping, environment mapping; financial planning and effective fundraising and pitching, will be covered. At a final workshop, to be held in late-June, the participating ventures will pitch to a judging panel. Based on the evaluation of the presentations an overall winner will be selected and will receive the €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize sponsored by Terra Solar. At the end of the 2024 competition physiotherapists Rory Lambe and Ben O'Grady, both then masters students in the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Sports Science, were announced as winners of the Tech Sustainability Prize. Clia, their early-stage venture, aims to make a meaningful difference to the lives of people with cardiovascular disease by combining clinical data with wearable technology to improve its management. Rory is now a PhD student and earlier this year to further develop Clia he was one of several UCD students selected to participate in Conception X, a nine-month venture programme in London, focused on supporting PhD students from the UK and across Europe, to turn their research into deep tech start-ups. Fourteen (14) postgraduate and 8 undergraduate students are participating on this year's accelerator programme. Over 80 early-stage ventures and some 200 students have completed NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competitions to date.

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, host Richard Graves sits down with former Leeds Rhinos captain Stevie Ward, a man who went from teenage prodigy to Grand Final winner, only to have his career cut short by concussion at just 27. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Stevie opens up about: - What it's really like debuting alongside your childhood heroes - The fear and thrill of running out at Wembley at 18 - The brutal highs and lows of elite performance, injury, and recovery - How fear, when embraced, can unlock peak performance - The emotional toll of early retirement and how he's rebuilding his identity beyond sport But this isn't just a story of sport.
