Peter Leo is an applied exercise physiologist and high performance coach from Austria. Peter has done extensive research in profiling performance and physiological characteristics of U23 cyclists which we discuss in this interview. We also discuss power profiling and using Critical Power.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Best practices for power profiling (e.g. formal testing vs. raw training data) and methodological considerations
-What is Critical Power, and why use that as a main physiological marker over others (such as MLSS and FTP)
-Power changes in U23 cyclists across a season
-How training characteristics (e.g. training intensity distribution as well as added load from racing) impacted the change in power profile across the season
-Practical takeaways from these studies - what can we learn when thinking about how we go about our own training and racing across an entire season?

Professor Melitta Mcnarry of Swansea University has recently published a meta-analysis on the health and mortality (all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer) consequences of an elite sporting career. Here, she discusses the findings and the potential implications.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Reasons for conducting the meta-analysis, including questions marks around whether a high amount of exercise might be detrimental rather than beneficial for health and longevity
-The significantly reduced mortality in elite athletes, in particular endurance athletes and team sport athletes
-Potential reasons for the reduced mortality
-The relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and protection against cardiovascular disease
-Potential reasons for why elite endurance athletes had greatly reduced cardiovascular disease mortality, but no difference compared to the general population for cancer mortality

In this episode, Professor Robert Lamberts (Stellenbosch University) and Annemiek Roete (University of Groningen) discuss their recent systematic review on (noninvasive) markers of functional overreaching in endurance athletes. We also discuss the Lamberts Submaximal Cycle Test (LSCT), and it's application in triathlon as a monitoring tool as well as its application as a performance indicator.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Physiological (VO2max, submaximal power output, PPO), heart rate (resting, max, submax, HRR, HRV), and subjective (RPE, POMS, DALDA) markers of functional overreaching
-Which markers are the best for assessing non-functional overreaching, and how many (or how few) should you be monitoring?
-Is functional overreaching necessary or beneficial for endurance adaptations?
-What is the LSCT (Lamberts Submaximal Cycle Test) protocol?
-The LSCT as a performance predictor in triathlon
-The LSCT as a method to monitor training adaptations and overreaching

José Ramón Lillo, PhD is a researcher at the University of Alicante. In this interview, we discuss a study where Functional Threshold Power (FTP, as measured by 95% of the average power from a 20-minute all-out time trial) was compared to maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) and other physiological markers.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Definitions of testing protocols for FTP and MLSS
-How does FTP compare to MLSS according to Dr. Lillo's research?
-How does the warm-up protocol of the FTP-test (Coggan and Allen proposed a long, intense warm-up including a 5-minute time trial) impact the measured FTP?
-Recommendations for a lower correction coefficient than the original 95% to get a better estimate of MLSS
-General testing recommendations for field and lab testing

Phil Bellinger, PhD, is a researcher and lecturer at Griffith University, Australia. His work includes training interventions, nutritional interventions, and more recently using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to non-invasively assess muscle fibre typology and investigate how it relates to performance and training adaptations. He has also recently published a literature review on functional overreaching in endurance sports.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Fundamentals of different muscle fibre types, and muscle fibre type distribution
-How an athlete's muscle fibre typology impacts recovery within and from high-intensity exercise
-How an athlete's muscle fibre typology impacts adaptations to training resulting from periods of "overload training" (increased volume)
-The differences between acute fatigue, functional overreaching, and non-functional overreaching
-Is functional overreaching necessary to induce training adaptations?
