Summary

Callum Brownstein, PhD, is a lecturer in exercise physiology at Newcastle University. Callum has conducted extensive research in fatigability, and the mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue in (among others) endurance exercise. In this interview, we dive deep into the mechanisms and applications of neuromuscular fatigue in an endurance sports context.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is fatigue?  -Differentiating between impairments in contractile function ("peripheral fatigue") and voluntary activation ("central fatigue") -How can fatigue and its underlying mechanisms be measured?  -Different fatigue mechanisms in cycling vs. running -Differences in magnitude of fatigue and fatigue mechanisms between the different intensity domains -The impact of exercise duration on fatigue -Practical applications for triathletes and endurance athletes SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts355/ 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.

Hey hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast

0:23.3

presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm my host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview

0:28.6

Dr. Callum Brownstein. Callum is a lecturer in exercise physiology at Newcastle University, a role

0:34.4

that he's actually just taking up in the, well, or has taken up

0:39.4

by the time we listened to this in the last couple of weeks or so.

0:42.8

He has conducted extensive research in fatigability and the mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue

0:47.6

in endurance exercise and also in some other contexts.

0:51.4

But for this interview, we of course focus on the endurance sports context

0:55.2

and the mechanisms and applications of neuromuscular fatigue but before we get into this episode

1:01.2

a big thanks to our sponsors roca roca produce exceptional quality triathlon wetsuits trisuits

1:06.9

swimskins goggles performant sunglasses and and prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses.

1:11.7

If you want to go faster in the water, then look to Roka's range of wetsuits.

1:15.9

From the entry level to the top of the line wetsuits, all of them come with arms of technology

1:19.5

and exceptional quality and comfort in the water.

1:22.2

Roka's trisuits work perfectly together with the wetsuits as they two come with arms up technology

1:26.9

to really maximize your shoulder mobility for the swim and on the bike and run they are

1:31.7

optimized for aerodynamics and comfort roka's range of sunglasses and prescription glasses is

1:36.7

also packed with innovation with patented technologies such as the geico anti-slipped technology
