Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/tonyrich/ep-47-the-pseudoscience-of-sport-health- Nick B. Tiller Ph.D. is a senior researcher in exercise physiology at Harbor-UCLA and author of The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science which was named one of Book Authority's "Best sports science books of all time". Tiller is a columnist at Skeptical Inquirer magazine, a columnist at Ultra-Running Magazine, and associate editor at the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. For over a decade, Tiller has been scrutinizing the commercial health and wellness industry through the critical lens of scientific skepticism. Nick is a renowned authority on the physiology and pathophysiology of ultra-endurance exercise. Nick ran his first marathon in 2001 at the age of 18 years and contested Ironman triathlon (Frankfurt; European Championships) in 2009. In 2010, he ran his first ultramarathon. Since then, Nick has contested some of the world's toughest endurance races including the Marathon Des Sables (Sahara Desert) and several 100-mile trail races. In recent years, Nick has unified his personal passion for ultra with his professional work in physiology, contributing numerous original research and review papers to premier exercise science journals. In addition to peer-reviewed research, Tiller contributes articles to mainstream outlets, and writes a monthly column in Ultra-Running Magazine. We have a conversation about his many of the topics that’s in his book The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science, Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry. Professor Tiller discusses the placebo effect and breaks it down for the listener. We discuss the common “placebo effect is still an effect so what’s the big deal” response. We also talk about the potential downsides to placebo effect particularly with unproven methods. We have a conversation about acupuncture, cupping and dry needling, and why we’ve seen motivation of such alternative medicine among athletes and whether or not there is any demonstrated efficacy of such methods beyond placebo. We talk about nutrition and in particular fad diets and supplements driven by heuristics and biases that have led populations to seek quick fixes for weight loss under an increasing obesity epidemic. We discuss the efficacy of a myriad of athlete recovery protocols including, cold immersion, cryotherapy, massage or robot massage, compression garments and whether or not there is anything that has been scientifically demonstrated to meaningfully expedite performance or recovery. Finally, we talk about logical fallacies that are typically made by people and Professor Tiller discusses his response to such fallacies.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/tonyrich/ep-45-the-endurance-enthusiast-s-heart-w A conversation with Professor Graham Stuart, MSc. Professor Stuart is a congenital heart cardiologist. He also has a clinical interest in cardiac electrophysiology in children and adults with congenital heart disease. He runs a clinic for inherited cardiac conditions and has a research interest in exercise and the heart and sports cardiology. He is an Honorary Associate Professor in Sports and Exercise Cardiology at the University of Bristol and an Honorary Research Associate at the University of Exeter. He is an avid endurance enthusiast with multiple IRONMAN and marathon finishes and he is also an avid rower. Professor Stuart discusses how the heart works and describes what's happening with the heart during an endurance event. He discusses differences in heart size by sex and populations. We talk about the latest findings in cardiology about the perceived long-term effects of training for endurance events like marathons and IRONMAN distance triathlons, and whether there is any evidence for long-term adverse effects with such training. We have an exchange about athletes who suddenly die during endurance events and what may be some of the typical causes. We discuss the type of heart related issues that should give an athlete pause or concern. We talk about the precautions that athletes should take with age and whether wearable technology can help spot potential issues. Professor Stuart discusses the latest in cardiology about the impact of COVID on athletes, whether there is any more clarity on “long COVID” and a cardiologist recommended return to sport protocol for athletes that have had COVID. Finally, Professor Stuart gives his perspective on the future with heart technology and whether we will ever see any form of a fully implantable replacement heart either mechanical or organic that can run on its own battery for a long period of time.

From his extraordinary 1978 run across the U.S. to benefit the Jimmy Fund to serving as technical director then race director of the BAA Boston Marathon since the 1980s, McGillivray has helped organize more than 1400 mass participatory events while raising millions for worthy causes close to his heart. We have a conversation about his book, The Last Pick, The Boston Marathon Race Director’s Road to Success, and the inspiration for the book. We also talk about his goals with his 3 children’s books. We talk about his athletic accomplishments including running across America, the IRONMAN triathlons, running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days in the World Marathon Challenge and recently completing his 50th consecutive Boston Marathon. Dave tells the story about what made the events unique and challenging in their own way. Dave fields the question about his “end game” and whether he’d ever see an end to being an endurance enthusiast or will he continue to complete endurance events as long as he can. Finally, Dave talks about memorable experiences in his 50 Boston Marathon finishes and his thoughts on what the next 50 years will bring.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/tonyrich/ep-43-factors-impacting-swimming-partici A conversation with Carol Irwin PhD, one of the key researchers for more than a decade around the issue of swimming competence among populations. We discuss her research teams latest qualitative report “Factors impacting Swim participation and Competence,” which aims to understand why we see lower swimming proficiency rates in underserved populations. Dr. Irwin has PhD in Curriculum and Instruction/Health Education and an MA Sport Pedagogy. She is an associate professor of physical education, teacher education in the College of Health Sciences at the University of Memphis. Dr. Irwin has been the Principal Investigator for several USA Swimming research studies, including “Constraints Impacting Minority Swimming Participation.” This nation-wide study was the first research to determine minority youth swimming ability, and to dig deeper to explore possible reasons why these underserved populations drown at such high rates. She has also taken action to solve the problem by becoming research chair of Splash mid-south, a community-based program that supports diversity in swimming as well as decreasing drowning rates. Dr. Irwin discusses her background and what drove her and the other members of the research team to prioritize study of this phenomenon. She discusses the research methodology, of the May 2020 qualitative report, how it built off previous work, and some of the limitations. We review the key findings of the report including the insights that allow understanding about why we lower swimming competency in underserved populations and in what direction are the numbers moving. Finally, Dr. Irwin provides insight into potential solutions.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/tonyrich/ep-42-the-racing-weight-question-w-coach A conversation with endurance sports coach, author, and nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald. He is the author of 31 books including Racing Weight, How to Get Lean for Peak Performances and Race like a Pro, (Even if You’re Slow). Just released this month. We discuss endurance athletes and the concept of achieving an optimal performance weight or what athletes colloquially call “Race Weight.” We have a science and evidence-based discussion on why and when body composition matters with respect to bodies in motion. We discuss Matt’s motivation for writing the book Racing Weight and the 6 step plan he outlines for endurance athletes looking to become better recreational athletes or maximize performance. We talk about circumstances where this can go wrong and lead to counterproductive strategies or disordered eating and how to make sure you avoid such pitfalls in training. We discuss the difference between dieting and performance weight management for athletes and what athletes need to think about, up and above the conventional dieter, when it comes to daily nutrition and fueling strategies. We talk about how Matt has changed his approach with male and female coached athletes after over 10 years since he wrote the first edition of Racing Weight. Matt is the co-founder of 80/20 Endurance, and in addition to authoring 31 books. Matt is an acclaimed nutritionist. Matt’s writing also appears regularly in magazines and on websites such as Women’s Running and outsideonline.com. His online training plans have helped thousands of athletes of all experience and ability levels achieve their goals. Certified by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, Matt has consulted for numerous sports nutrition companies and he is the creator of the Diet Quality Score (DQS) smartphone app. A lifelong athlete, he speaks frequently at events throughout the United States and internationally.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/tonyrich/ep-40-the-fastest-u-s-born-black-maratho A conversation on MLK day with Nathan Martin, the fastest U.S. born black marathoner ever. Nathan set the record for the fastest marathon time by a black man born in the United States at the 2020 Marathon Project with a time of 2:11:05 besting a 41-year-old record held by Herman Atkins. He is also a coach and substitute teacher. He also qualified for the Olympic Marathon trials in 2016 and 2020. This past November he finished 8th at the 2021 New York City Marathon, while also being the third American finisher. We talk about his origin story running as a youth, through his college career at Spring Arbor University and how his running developed into the marathon event. We talk about his performance in the 2020 Olympic Marathon trials and what he learned that helped him run a personal record of 2:11:05 at the 2020 Marathon Project where he broke the 1979 record held by Herman Atkins. Nathan gives his thoughts about the significance of that accomplishment and also his thoughts on why we don’t see as many American runners under 2:10, and what Americans can do to compete on the international stage. We talk about his performance at the 2021 New York City Marathon where he came in 8th right behind Kenenisa Bekele and was the third American Overall. Nathan gives his thoughts as an elite runner and coach to the Endurance Experience marathon listeners about the attributes that he believes are important to get faster in the marathon. Finally, as a cross country coach Nathan gives his coaching philosophy and provides advice to youths and parents on considering running as a sport.

We have an exchange about the issue governing bodies are facing with regards to the women’s category of sport and try to break it down for the listener and talk about some of the high-level statistics. We have an exchange about fairness, how fairness has historically been defined and she offers her opinion on how it should be defined. We touch on some of the interactions and discussions she’s had with some of the high-profile former female athletes that have talked publicly about the issue and whether she thinks some of them have evolved. Finally, we walk through the new guidelines released by the IOC, what she agrees with and what she disagrees with and discuss the implications for the sport governing bodies.
