Description

How do you apply endurance sports science in practice? Learn the complete process from knowing the balance between evidence-based and experience-based, interpreting and contextualising research, recognising poor research and interpretations, to applying it to improve your triathlon performance.      IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:   The three-legged stool: scientific evidence, coach's experience, athlete's desire and experience.  Don't proclaim yourself "evidence-based" and disregard experience (yours or others') for the sake of it Interpreting research studies, understanding different study designs and terminology, like statistical significance and effect size Statistically significant does not equal the absolute truth - research results is the observation of what happened, not the prediction of what will happen in the future. The importance of context (demographic, environmental, athletic ability, etc.) The importance of humility - don't be so quick to criticize. A great training plan is based on improving the individual athlete's performance, not on pegging them into the hole of the average research subject response.  If you're not measuring you're not managing.      SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts104/     THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com     SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration. Take Precision Hydration's FREE sweat test and learn how you should hydrate. Use the discount code THATTRIATHLONSHOW and get your first box for free!    Triathlon Corner - The new online home of shopping the best triathlon products in the world to great prices. Ships worldwide. Brands include Garmin, Stages Power, Café du cycliste, Zipp, Mako, Zone3, Hoka One One to name just a few. Use the discount codeTHATTRIATHLONSHOW to get 10% off.      LINKS AND RESOURCES:    The Enemy of a Good Plan is the Dream of a Perfect Plan with Dean Golich | EP#104   "Should your hydration strategy change as you get older?" - Article by Andy on Precision Hydration RATE AND REVIEW:If you enjoy the show, please help me out by subscribing, rating and reviewing: www.scientifictriathlon.com/rate/     CONTACT: Want to send feedback, questions or just chat? Email me at mikael@scientifictriathlon.com or connect on Twitter - my handle is @SciTriat.
