The Basics You NEED to know about HIIT
Designing HIIT workouts isn’t just about the session you put down on paper.You need to first know the important basics of WHY you are doing them, and this relates critically to the CONTEXT! The impact of TIME ⏱️, INTENSITY 🔥 or HOW OFTEN 🖩, you do them is often ignored or forgotten, and these factors need to be implemented in line with CONTEXT (see Episode 1).But can’t you just TRAIN HARD all the time to maximise my GAINS 💰?Well, in our second episode we highlight the 3 major PHYSIOLOGICAL TARGETS 🎯 that you can specifically design HIIT sessions and workouts for👨🏽🏫, and should always be considered.We cover the three big TARGETS as well as the HIIT type effects:Aerobic responses and effects.Anaerobic responses and interaction effects.Neuromuscular responses and interaction effects.Whether you are just after weekend-warrior goals 💪, training more seriously for any SPORTS 🏆, or are a coach, sports scientist or other practitioner yourself - you need understand WHY you are doing what you are doing._____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.comDr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/_____________________ References:Buchheit M, Laursen PB.

The ONE Thing Sport Scientists and Coaches Are Missing
In fitness 💪, sports, training and sport science, you must both think and do to achieve your goals 🥅.But what is the ONE key factor that should influence your decisions when planning and executing your workouts and training 😵?In our very first episode of the Training Science Podcast 🎤🎬 we showcase one of the major factors for successful performance coaching 👨🏽🏫! After a combined experience of 45 years, Martin and Paul have seen 🙈 it all in professional sports - as athletes, sports scientists, coaches and sports performance consultants. We’ve arrived at the point where we believe there is no one single magic bullet. If we had to pick one however, it would be the appreciation of CONTEXT. Context around your sport, training, sleep management, nutrition, load management, etc. Context is always more important than the content.Context means we must look into all the factors that can influence training and workout design, periodization and execution🔎. All must be established before we pencil in any training prescription content if we are to be effective.What is a type of CONTEXT 👁️🗨️ in training, sport science, coaching or generally sports that you believe is important?_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.comDr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/_____________________ Icons: By "Freepik" from https://buff.ly/2G0sQtN⠀ _____________________
