The Science Behind Going Slow to Be Fast
The concepts of central and peripheral conditioning help explain why an effective training base period leads to speed and durability in the race season.
Humans aren’t machines—we’re much more complicated. Exercise physiology involves changes in the body from exercise and rest.
From anaerobic threshold to environmental acclimatization, from FTP to PGC-1 alpha, we explore the science of human performance.
The concepts of central and peripheral conditioning help explain why an effective training base period leads to speed and durability in the race season.
Find out all the dos and don’ts of physiological testing as we break down VO2max and lactate/ramp testing.
We explore the physiology of race season—how to find top-end fitness, how long it takes, and the best ways to do it.
Your lactate threshold may not be what you think it is. Coach Trevor Connor explores the true definition of this physiological turn point.
It can be difficult for male coaches to know their role in helping female athletes navigate performance in context of the menstrual cycle and hormones. Coach Bevan McKinnon shares his experience and learning on this topic and some helpful tools.
Dr. Stephen Seiler shares the “holy trinity” of training feedback in this live presentation at a rowing conference.
