Summary

Filip Larsen, PhD, is Associate Professor at the Swedish School of Sports and Health Sciences as well as Chief Science Officer at Silicon Valley Exercise Analytics (SVEXA). In this interview, we discuss research conducted by Filip and his team on finding the line between enough and too much training using various physiological and cellular markers, and how to take these findings from the lab and apply them in the field.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Effects of intensified training on performance and cardiovascular parameters -Effects on mitochondrial parameters, including impaired mitochondrial respiration -Effects on glucose tolerance and substrate utilisation -Effects on glycolytic pathway and muscle glycogen adaptations -Implications for training, including when and how to do high-intensity training, how often to plan in rest cycles among load cycles, and more SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts340/ SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/ SPONSORS: Precision Fuel & Hydration - Optimise and individualise your fueling and hydration strategy using the free online Sweat Test and Quick Carb Calculator on precisionfuelandhydration.com.
