Our next guest on The Athlete’s Compass is none other than Dr. Stephen Seiler, the pioneer of polarized training who’s now turning his scientific spotlight on breathing for performance.
Your job:
Comment ONE (yes, just one!) burning question you want Dr. Seiler to answer about breathing—think breathing rate, nasal vs. mouth, breathing-rate wearables, hyperventilation tricks, or anything else that helps everyday athletes train smarter.
One question per listener. Read the thread first; if someone already nailed your question, smash that “like” instead of posting a duplicate.
Deadline: Friday, July 18 @ 12 PM CT .
Ready? Inhale creativity, exhale your best question, and drop it below!
How much can breath training (using a device or other method) impact endurance performance and perceived exertion during a long event such as a marathon or Ironman…
How do the manufactures of wearables detect the breath depth and calculate the different Lung volume types (IV, TV, EV=VC) of an athlete without spirometry??
Or does the volume not matter at all?
Awesome! My ALL-TIME favorite podcast guest in endurance sports by far. He’s just always the one person who can explain really scientific topics in a really easy to follow plain-spoken way. Actually, a podcast he was on as a guest with Paul (that played clips of an even EARLIER podcast of them together) is what initially led me to Athletica. I’ve also been looking into the breathing wearable company he’s been working with but haven’t fully jumped it… yet! I’ll try to think up a good one question this week.
