Vo2 Max, CP and Lactate threshold Calculators added to The Scientist`s Notebook
We`ve added three field tools that turn hard efforts into usable constraints, not vague zones.
Critical Power and Pacing
Journal Club #001: Challenging Zone 2 Optimality for Mitochondrial Health and Fitness in General Population
It is not often that a research paper arrives specifically to critically audit a trend currently dominating the applied physiology
Snippet #003: Physiological Complexity Limits the Additive Benefits of Stacking Caffeine and Bicarbonate
Theoretically, combining caffeine and sodium bicarbonate should improve performance because they target different physiological limitations: caffeine stimulates the central nervous
Building the Collective Brain: The Journal Club
One of the main ideas behind The Scientist’s Notebook is that science shouldn’t sit in silos. It should
Entry #005: Comparing whey protein and carbohydrate-based recovery strategies after endurance exercise
Hi Endurance Enthusiast,
For decades, the post-exercise mantra has been simple: "Refuel." We have been conditioned to view
Snippet #002: Separating the Fuel Source From the Fatigue Mechanism During Intensity
During high-intensity effort, skeletal muscle relies on anaerobic glycolysis to generate energy rapidly. While this process produces lactate, research confirms
Entry #004: The ergogenic potential of caffeine and sodium bicarbonate in endurance events
Hi Endurance Enthusiast,
The pursuit of marginal gains in endurance performance often leads athletes toward the pharmaceutical cabinet of evidence-based
Snippet #001: Reducing Oxygen Diffusion Distance Through Capillary Growth
Endurance training stimulates angiogenesis, a biological process that generates new microscopic blood vessels around muscle fibers. This adaptation increases capillary
Science for Your Morning Coffee: Introducing Friday Snippets
As we continue to evolve The Scientist’s Notebook, I want to thank you for being an essential part of
Entry #003: How to prepare for a cycling race, pre-race fueling timeline, 24 hours to the start
Hi Endurance Enthusiast,
Now that we have talked about the long-term aerobic development required to build your engine, we need
