The ROAD TO PRO: The Road to Pro: Balancing Long-Term Development Versus Short-Term Performance - With Paul White and Martin Buchheit

NOPE! Heart rate monitoring only is EXTREMELY limited in what it tells you about HIGH SPEED RUNNING 🙁Paul White wants you to understand that although heart rate can be useful for a variety of training measurements, periodisation, as well as prescription and monitoring, it kind of misses the biggest aspect that is currently trending in most sports: the mixed contribution of neural 🧠 and peripheral aspects (like muscles 💪🏼, duh!) - also mysteriously called neuromuscular factors.In the 58th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Paul discuss 📜 how the academy football structure in England is based on certain documented and mandatory protocols, tests, as well as expectations, and how that can be an advantage;🐣 considering the management of short-term results (at academy level) versus training and planning the long-term development of your young players🤷‍♂️ what is football fitness and how can almost ANYONE without SPECIFIC knowledge apply it to their football coaching practice?!_____________________ If you want to TRULY monitor NEUROMUSCULAR loads, you probably need something called “anaerobic speed or power reserve” - NOW you will truly get an INDIVIDUALIZED profile of all your players!We got ALL the science and practical applications of it bundled up for you 📦!🚀  https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/power-speed-guru-bundle 🚀_____________________ Today’s speakers:Dr Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/  Paul White https://uk.linkedin.com/in/paul-white-1940a659

Strength & Endurance: Impossible to Train Together?! Are All the Hybrid YouTube Athletes Wrong?! - With Dr Jackson Fyfe and Paul Laursen

Good old specificity also APPLIES to TASK SPECIFIC RESIDUAL NEUROMUSCULAR FATIGUE! Yes, big long words, that basically means that your jump fatigue testing might not apply that well to running ;). Dr Jackson Fyfe highlights that any type of interference effect between strength and endurance training will be strongly dependent on the residual neuromuscular fatigue (more neural and brain related vs peripheral muscle stuff!), and that it is specific to your activity. Or put simply — related directly to the task performed during the activity!In the 57th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jackson discuss 💥 whether intensity of your CARDIO matters or not on the effect on your strength GAINS,🎯 how neuromuscular factors seem to be key when it comes to the potential interference of combined strength and metabolic conditioning training, 📝 as well as what are the mechanisms and factors that cause residual neuromuscular fatigue - so that you can be prepared for it, and do something about it!_____________________ So you do CARDIO, WEIGHTS and almost everything else, but your MAIN GOAL is to be FAST  & EXPLOSIVE?We got ALL the science and practical applications of it bundle up for you 📦!🚀  https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/power-speed-guru-bundle 🚀_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr Jackson Fyfe https://twitter.com/jacksonfyfe _____________________

This comes down to their “CEILING” which is the anaerobic SPEED or POWER 💪🏾 reserve. Anyways:We got ALL the science and practical applications of it bundle up for you 📦!🚀  https://hiit-science.thinkific.com/bundles/power-speed-guru-bundle 🚀_____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.com/ Dr Phil Bellinger https://experts.griffith.edu.au/9188-phil-bellinger _____________________
