Description
Dr Kate Baldwin of Endurance Movement shares her expertise in performance improvement and injury prevention for triathletes. Learn how activation exercises enhance the warm up phase and help boost performance in your main set. Plus, we learn whether it should be shoes on or off when you're in the gym.
We explore the benefits of heavy strength training for improving economy and promoting better utilization of fuel and oxygen in the muscle. We also hear how increased maximal strength can delay the use of less efficient type two muscle fibers resulting in a glycogen-sparing effect.
And lastly, we discuss the significance of the stretch shortening cycle in running and how plyometrics and heavy strength training can improve tendons, bone density and minimize fatigue in athletes.
