VLaMax, Polarised training, Fatigue and Complexity with Mark Burnley, PhD | EP#331
Mark Burnley, PhD, is an exercise physiologist at the University of Wolverhampton. In this episode, we discuss the VLaMax, polarised training (and it not being optimal for endurance athletes), and using measures of complexity to assess fatigue. This is part two of a two-part interview with Mark.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-VLaMax: the background, reason for recent surge to popularity, and the mechanistic and practical issues with measuring it
-Polarised training is not optimal for endurance athletes: the arguments against polarised training being an "ideal" training intensity distribution, and why quantifying training intensity distributions may not be the smartest thing to do in the first place
-How measures of complexity (e.g. Approximate entropy ApEn, alpha-exponent of Detrended Fluctuation analysis DFA) can be used to assess fatigue, and the potential applications thereof

The science of hydrogels in endurance sports with Andy King, PhD | EP#333
Andy King, PhD, is an exercise physiologist at the Australian Catholic University. Andy joins us to discuss the science and application of hydrogel products like Maurten and SiS Beta Fuel. Do they work, how do they work, and is it worth paying the premium compared to regular sports nutrition products?
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-What are hydrogels, and how are they different from regular gels?
-The theory behind how hydrogels could work to improve endurance performance
-What does the science say? Do hydrogels improve endurance performance, metabolic markers, or gastrointestinal symptoms compared to regular gels?
-Practical recommendations: is it worth it to use hydrogels?
-Glucose and fructose - is there an ideal ratio for sports nutrition products?
-How to maximise carbohydrate intake (e.g. taking in 120 g/h of CHO)
