Train What You NEED for Your Sport and Not Just for the Gainz - With Matt Nichol
You can be a GREAT ATHLETE and have AMAZING physical abilities… or not😎. There are many top level athletes who are not that well “trained” — and that’s ok!
Matt Nichol wants you to understand that skill is most important to FOCUS 🔍 on in team sports, and make everything in your practice hyper-focused to make you better at enhancing that - rather than just looking at numbers 📊 in your S&C sessions!
In the 60th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Matt discuss
🎯 the differences between sports with a HYPER FOCUS on SKILLS vs PHYSICAL ABILITIES, and how it matters in training design;
📉 how you should never OVERDO your work on the “SUPER ATHLETE”. Make sure that the physical training is specific to the sport and the individual you are working with;
😝 how your should TRY to INVESTIGATE new trends in sport and tech yourself, directly with your athletes, but without overthinking the implementation.

360 Degree Approach to Performance & Technology Is Not What You Think It Is - With Chris Tombs
You DON’T NEED to keep pumping the GYM NUMBERS if you reach certain levels of physical fitness! GO OUTSIDE and play YOUR SPORT!
Chris Tombs wants you to understand that not all athletes need to keep adding more targets in pure “fitness” areas of their skills spectrum, and it is completely fine to even at some point REDUCE the amount of training time in the gym!
In the 59th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Chris discuss
📜 how LESS can be MORE when it comes to sports training, and why you want to probably work towards taking things out of your programme, rather then putting more in;
🐣 how to deal with different opinions, disagreements, and character types in your work space, and still progress towards SOLUTIONS;
🤷♂️ what OPTIMAL assessment, prescription, dosage and execution can EASILY look like for VELOCITY BASED training.

The ROAD TO PRO: The Road to Pro: Balancing Long-Term Development Versus Short-Term Performance - With Paul White
NOPE! Heart rate monitoring only is EXTREMELY limited in what it tells you about HIGH SPEED RUNNING 🙁
Paul White wants you to understand that although heart rate can be useful for a variety of training measurements, periodisation, as well as prescription and monitoring, it kind of misses the biggest aspect that is currently trending in most sports: the mixed contribution of neural 🧠 and peripheral aspects (like muscles 💪🏼, duh!) - also mysteriously called neuromuscular factors.
In the 58th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Paul discuss
📜 how the academy football structure in England is based on certain documented and mandatory protocols, tests, as well as expectations, and how that can be an advantage;
🐣 considering the management of short-term results (at academy level) versus training and planning the long-term development of your young players
🤷♂️ what is football fitness and how can almost ANYONE without SPECIFIC knowledge apply it to their football coaching practice?!
_____________________
If you want to TRULY monitor NEUROMUSCULAR loads, you probably need something called “anaerobic speed or power reserve” - NOW you will truly get an INDIVIDUALIZED profile of all your players!

Strength & Endurance: Impossible to Train Together?! Are All the Hybrid YouTube Athletes Wrong?! - With Dr Jackson Fyfe
Good old specificity also APPLIES to TASK SPECIFIC RESIDUAL NEUROMUSCULAR FATIGUE! Yes, big long words, that basically means that your jump fatigue testing might not apply that well to running ;).
Dr Jackson Fyfe highlights that any type of interference effect between strength and endurance training will be strongly dependent on the residual neuromuscular fatigue (more neural and brain related vs peripheral muscle stuff!), and that it is specific to your activity. Or put simply — related directly to the task performed during the activity!
In the 57th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Jackson discuss
💥 whether intensity of your CARDIO matters or not on the effect on your strength GAINS,
🎯 how neuromuscular factors seem to be key when it comes to the potential interference of combined strength and metabolic conditioning training,
📝 as well as what are the mechanisms and factors that cause residual neuromuscular fatigue - so that you can be prepared for it, and do something about it!
_____________________
So you do CARDIO, WEIGHTS and almost everything else, but your MAIN GOAL is to be FAST & EXPLOSIVE?

20+ Years of Football: Applying the Intricate Science to Human Players - with Dr Miguel Angel Campos
You CANNOT apply all the data and science protocols 100% into your sport! ALWAYS try to adapt whatever you find to YOUR CONTEXT!
Dr Miguel Angel Campos wants you to understand that you definitely need to stay up to date with the newest findings, treat them as your FUNDAMENTALS, but then you need to adapt it to whatever you do and whoever you are working with.
In the 56th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Martin and Miguel discuss
💥 in Spain you you are part of a SMALL team, so everyone matters even more - but at the same time you also are bound to whole staff movements when the club is successful or not.
🎯 balance the workload the exercise periodization in the gym together with the one on the pitch - they CANNOT be separate!
📝 despite the players having lots of POWER in most teams, it is POSITIVE that we can now INDIVIDUALIZE our PRACTICE and give responsibility, choice back to them, and thus increase THEIR AUTONOMY (essential for motivation and adherence)!

Fiber Types Ain’t Just for Geeks & Nerds -> Use It Right Now to Optimize Your Athletes Everything - With Dr Phil Bellinger
FAST & SLOW might be more similar than you think😄! Yet, there are still significant differences THAT MATTER in terms of daily training prescription, periodization, recovery and EVEN PACING⏳ !
Dr Phil Bellinger wants you to consider that you CANNOT work to the same daily training model across athletes with different MUSCLE FIBER typology. These differences matter for so many aspects of training, but also offer an opportunity to figure out STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES.
In the 55th episode of The Training Science Podcast, Paul and Phil discuss
💥 how you can use NON-INVASIVE methods to establish muscle fiber composition, and thus
🎯 figure out what TYPE of athlete you have in front of you, which allows you to INDIVIDUALIZE their training to the highest possible level, as well as
📝 figuring out the type of work to do in KEY and ESSENTIAL training sessions to optimize for performance, recovery, as well as race pacing.

EVERY athlete, independent of their fiber type, needs to be able to go fast. This comes down to their “CEILING” which is the anaerobic SPEED or POWER 💪🏾 reserve.
