Maximising Hybrid Training Using Physiological Data with Evan Peikon

Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory, where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. I am Dr Phil Price, and in today's episode, we have sports physiologist and coach Evan Peikon.

Evan is back on the podcast, and this time we're discussing his work with NNOXX, where he is a co-founder. NNOXX is a NIRS device that measures muscle oxygenation and saturation and is the first to ever measure nitric oxide non-invasively. In this episode, we discuss the physiological determinants of hybrid athlete performance and how we can use NNOXX to inform our hybrid training.

HMN24 HYDRATE

Hydrate by HMN24, Hydrate is a fast and effective formula to improve hydration by replacing fluid and body salts after an intense training session or after a long night’s sleep. Each sachet contains an optimal ratio of sodium, potassium and magnesium to improve cellular hydration. I highly recommend the citrus flavour, which I always take immediately upon waking. It really sets my day up perfectly. Head to HMN24.com where you can get a month’s supply of 30 sachets and use the code PHIL10 at checkout for 10% off.
