Bas van Hooren is a sport scientist, sport science consultant, and a runner with multiple national championship medals. In this interview we discuss a number of topics Bas has researched, including practical applications of these findings.  

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

-Are cool-downs necessary? 

-Is there a physiological or biomechanical difference between treadmill and outdoor running? 

-What do we know about the physiology and training characteristics of the best older athletes in the world (70+)? 

-Are there "sensitive periods" and what are the issues with the Long-Term Athlete Development model? 

-Strength and conditioning science and application for runners and endurance athletes

-Devices and technology
