Rethinking Exercise Selection with Algorithmic Thinking

Dr. Pat Davidson introduces his unique approach to exercise selection known as 'rethinking the big patterns,' focusing on an algorithmic way of thinking to tailor exercises to individual goals. This method emphasizes making precise exercise choices based on specific needs, catering to elite athletes or anyone aiming to enhance fitness levels. By delving into examples like comparing a gold medal-winning skateboarder to an NFL nose tackle, Davidson highlights the importance of selecting exercises aligned with the demands of different sports and athletes.

My guest is Dr. Pat Davidson, an exercise physiologist, strength and conditioning coach, bestselling author, and host of the Pat Davidson Podcast. In this episode, we discuss Pat's model - Rethinking the Big Patterns, an algorithmic way of thinking that aids in precise exercise selection to accomplish specific goals. We also discuss how constraints (i.e., environmental, individual, task) improve training outcomes and provide a roadmap for long-term exercise/training progressions. These principles can be applied to anyone pursuing improved performance, from elite athletes to recreational exercisers.
