Genetics and exercise in health and performance with Dr Claude Bouchard
Inside Exercise
Fly fishing, career in genetics and exercise
Exploring the challenges and joys of fly fishing, as well as the speaker's extensive experience in the sport and their background in genetics and exercise research.
Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Claude Bouchard about Genetics and exercise in health and performance. He recently retired at 82 yrs from the Louisiana State University Pennington Biomedical Research Center. He had made an amazing contribution with an H index of 191 and 173,000 citations!! (Google scholar).

Inside Exercise brings to you the who's who of exercise metabolism, exercise physiology and exercise’s effects on health. With scientific rigor, these researchers discuss popular exercise topics while providing practical strategies for all.
The interviewer, Emeritus Professor Glenn McConell, has an international research profile following 30 years of Exercise Metabolism research experience while at The University of Melbourne, Ball State University, Monash University, the University of Copenhagen and Victoria University.
He has published over 120 peer reviewed journal articles and recently edited an Exercise Metabolism eBook written by world experts on 17 different topics (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-94305-9).
