Discussing three of the latest sports science research trends (with professional cycling coach and PHD researcher Luca Filipas)
02/15/24 • 49 min
In this podcast we talk with Sports Science Masters and PHD graduate from the University of Milan about some of the research he has done and his experience coaching in a professional cycling team to date.
Effects of 16 weeks of pyramidal and polarized training intensity distributions in well-trained endurance runners is the first bit of research we talk and dive into the results looking at the practical implications of applying these training methods in conjunction with one another. There is a bigger picture to this concept that Luca shares with us.
The Day-by-Day Periodization Strategies of a Giro d’Italia Podium Finisher is the second piece of research we talk about where Luca collaborated with his co-authers, to reveal how the worlds best athletes train from day to day.
Mental fatigue impairs time trial performance in sub-elite under 23 cyclists is the final research we talk about and dive into how these results may affect the average day cyclist training with mental fatigue.
