In this episode, Greg Bennett, along with co-hosts David Vogel and Barry, welcomes physiologist Tristan Starling-Smith to discuss the application of physiology in both high-performance sports and everyday life. Tristan shares his background and explains exercise physiology, detailing the equipment used in their performance lab, including in-body composition analysis, biomechanical testing, and metabolism testing. The group discusses metabolic health, resting metabolic rate tests, and how the body reacts under load during exercise. They explore the lactate test, comparing elite athletes to individuals with metabolic challenges, and also discuss zone training, wearable technology like Garmin watches, and the importance of understanding one's body and energy systems. The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of sleep, exercise, nutrition, and mental performance, as well as an overrated/underrated segment on cold plunging, static stretching, and supplements.
