@Alan_Couzens My experience testing "time limited" endurance athletes with HRV, is the vast majority (80%+) show/showed a more sympathetic dominance, had poor sleep, and were not improving in either training or race day. There is a large cost to be paid, when most of your training is hard
@DrJN_SportsMed@ClevelandClinic Best wishes, I've been following your journey from afar and have enjoyed reading your reflections both professional and personal. Good to hear of your progress and praying for your continued recovery 🙏
@gerdy_mac I struggle to understand the rationale behind some of these types of gym sessions I've seen at various football clubs, even given a particular context. Is this type of training seen as optimal?

Eg. Job 1 v 21
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Delighted to have passed my PhD viva.

I'm incredibly grateful to my supervisors Dr Liz Simpson, @JacqMcCormack & @PamelaMagee13 for their guidance and support throughout
Dr. Benjamin Levine is a legend in the field of exercise physiology
He ran a study you should know about...
Here's the low-down:
As we age, the heart tends to get smaller and stiffer
This impacts its efficiency, reducing exercise capacity and potentially elevating heart failure risk
But remarkably...
2 years of vigorous exercise in sedentary 50-year-olds reversed some of the heart's age-related structural changes and stiffness by up to 20 years
Meaning... exercise gave these sedentary 50-year-olds hearts akin to those of 30-year-olds
That's the power of exercise
Astonishing, really
