Humans in the era of abundance-
Universal basic income.
Self directed learning as a hobby to keep the brain healthy.
Less ego centric focus and more community driven purpose.

📌 Conclusion
Across a large heterogeneous cohort:
- V̇O₂max + economy explain ~95% of performance variance
- Fractional utilisation has limited discriminative power
- LT could be estimated somewhat accurately from LTP

🚨Heat Training Survey🚨
Massive thanks to @CASESsocial for putting the word out regarding my PhD survey!
If you’re a practitioner prescribing heat training for national to elite level athletes, we’d love to hear from you! 🔥🏃♂️🏆
Please share to get the word out 🙏👇
We have been made aware of a survey investigating current heat acclimation and heat acclimatisation practices within high-performance sport. If this sounds like something you would be interested in completing, please head to the link to find out more: bit.ly/43RDgtv
