Dr. Gregory Haff, an Associate Professor at Edith Cowan University and President of the NSCA, dives deep into the complexities of athletic training. He discusses the 'Holy Grail' of training residuals, shedding light on how different training qualities decay over time. The nuances of fatigue management, including recovery techniques and individual athlete variability, are examined. Greg also highlights innovative training strategies, addressing the balance and potential interference between strength and endurance training, ensuring athletes achieve optimal performance.

Episode notes
Dr. Haff's Interest in Fatigue
- Dr. Haff finds the concept of fatigue in training particularly interesting.
- He has written about stimulus, fatigue, recovery, adaptation, fitness-fatigue, and training residuals.
Training Residuals Research
- Training residuals and delayed training effects are under-researched areas in sports science.
- Individual responses to training stimuli vary based on genetic potential and recovery capacity.
Over-Monitoring Athletes
- Over-reliance on monitoring technologies may hinder athletes' ability to perform under fatigue or stress.
- Heart rate variability, velocity-based training, and session RPE have limitations in practice.
