Highlights / Spontaneous Ecologization through Everyday Walking? Prof. Sigmund Loland (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

In contemporary physical activity promotion, a quantitative and instrumental approach is the predominant perspective. From this view, physical activity needs to be promoted as a means to prevent various threats to physical and mental health produced by our sedentary lifestyles.
With Professor Sigmund Loland, we explore alternative framings that could help us imagine human movement, including mundane activities such as walking to work, in a different way. What if these activities, in addition to their well-documented health benefits, could help us develop a deeper sense of environmental interconnectedness, and the disposition to live and act in more sustainable ways?
Our conversation draws on Prof. Loland's recent article The poetics of everyday movement: Human movement ecology and urban walking.
Sigmund Loland is a professor of sport philosophy and ethics at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH), Oslo. He has published extensively in the area of sport philosophy and ethics, including questions about meaning in movement and ecological perspectives on sport.

Heart Rate Variability and Training Readiness in Athletes - Dr. Daniel Boullosa (Pt2)

How can heart rate variability help athletes optimize training? What role does post-activation performance enhancement play in endurance and power sports? In this episode, Dr. Daniel Boullosa and Dr. Olli Tikkanen explore cutting-edge research on athlete monitoring, fatigue management, and neuromuscular readiness.
Dr. Boullosa discusses the significance of heart rate variability (HRV) in assessing recovery, readiness, and overall training load, explaining how HRV responses vary depending on the type of sport and individual athlete characteristics. The conversation covers the importance of subjective feedback, emphasizing how simple athlete-coach communication can sometimes be the best performance indicator. The episode also delves into post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) and how different training stimuli impact endurance and power athletes. Dr. Boullosa shares findings from his research, revealing that endurance athletes often improve performance after prolonged exercise, while power athletes may experience the opposite effect.
This episode provides valuable insights for sports scientists, coaches, and athletes looking to refine their training and recovery strategies. Learn how physiological monitoring and personalized warm-ups can enhance athletic performance across different disciplines.
