Summary

Durability can be defined as the time of onset and magnitude of deterioration of physiological performance parameters over time during prolonged exercise. Dr. Ed Maunder (Auckland University of Technology) and Dr. Stephen Seiler (University of Agder) join us to discuss their recent publication and the overall scientific knowledge on the topic of durability, as well as best practices for assessing and developing durability.        IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is durability, why is it important, and what are the implications of it in racing and in training? -What do we know about durability and the mechanisms of it from the scientific literature?  -How to assess and quantify durability in the lab or in the field?  -How to train to develop and improve durability? -What is high-intensity repeatability and how does it relate to durability?  -Practical recommendations for athletes and coaches    SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts295/   SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/   SPONSORS: ROKA - Exceptional quality triathlon wetsuits, trisuits, swimskins, goggles, performance sunglasses as well as prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.  Online vision test for prescription updates and home try-on options available for eyeglasses.

0:27.3

I'm our host Michael and on today's episode, I interview Dr. Ed Monder and Dr. Stephen

0:31.6

Seiler. Ed and Stephen join us to discuss the concept of durability, which they've discussed and investigated

0:39.0

in a recent research paper from this year, from 2021. Durability essentially means how little

0:46.3

or how much your physical performance deteriorates over the course of prolonged endurance

0:52.6

exercise. Also, when does that happen? Does it happen after two

0:55.7

hours or after five hours? We will discuss the ins and outs of durability from both a theoretical

1:01.2

scientific standpoint, but importantly we'll get into plenty of practical tips and takeaways

1:06.2

like how do you actually train to improve durability, which I think is a really important message

1:12.4

from this episode. I just want to give you a heads up that for a large part of the interview,

1:16.5

it's just Dr. Edmonder and myself, and then Dr. Stephen Seiler joins pretty late in the

test for prescription updates, and they have home tri-on options available for eyeglasses.
