Science of Endurance Hydration

Don't let hydration continue to slow you down.Andy Blow, founder of Precision Hydration, learned about the impact hydration issues can have on performance the hard way: by spending time in the medical tent during multiple races in hot, humid conditions. But, through a lot of research and plenty of trial and error, Andy uncovered some important truths about the science of hydration and has been working with coaches and athletes to spread his knowledge ever since.He has implemented his knowledge at the highest levels of sport. First through his role as Team Sports Scientist at the Renault and Benetton Formula One racing teams and then through his work with elite athletes in pro sports teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League and beyond, as well as in endurance sports like triathlon, cycling and ultra running.You should consider this course if you're a coach who wants to help athletes avoid common hydration mistakes during training and racing. Athletes who frequently run into GI and cramping issues during activity or just want to improve their performance can benefit from this course too.By the end of the course, students will be familiar with the complicated history of hydration science, have a good understanding of the science of hydration for endurance athletes, and also have the tools and know-how to build personalized hydration strategies for training and racing. Meet your instructorAndy Blow has a degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Bath and was once the Team Sports Scientist for the Renault and Benetton Formula One racing teams.

Introduction to Heart Rate Variability

Stop overtraining with heart rate variability. Overtraining leads to injury, illness and diminished performance. The body can endure only so much continual physical stress before it begins to break down. So how do you know what to train and when to rest? The answer is heart rate variability (HRV). This online course will cover the important principles of balancing training and other life stressors with recovery to maximize the adaptive response necessary for the body to get stronger. It will explain what HRV is, how it is measured, and how it should be used in order to time your intensive sessions to take advantage of the body’s ability to adapt. Research showing the effectiveness of training with HRV will be complemented with case studies that show what to look for in your data to get consistently good performances while remaining healthy.
