1Matt Walker : Sleep is your superpower

Matt Walker : Sleep is your superpower

May 12, 2019

This 20 minute Ted talk is definitely worth listening to and sharing with anyone worrying about summer exams, work deadlines or health in ageing. I have written about sleep before in my posts ‘sleep for performance’ and ‘sleep nutrition’ and believe research categorically shows that good sleep is really important for performance and beneficial for […]

2Sunshine and Beetroot. Performance and health benefits of nitric oxide.

Sunshine and Beetroot. Performance and health benefits of nitric oxide.

Mar 15, 2016

In 1998 the Nobel Prize for medicine was given to three American pharmacologists for their discovery, that inside the body the  gas nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator of a wide variety of vital bodily functions. At the time this was an amazing discovery and their initial work, done in the 1980s resulted in a […]

3An ugly font, an awkward stranger and a random move. How mess may help you achieve amazing things.

An ugly font, an awkward stranger and a random move. How mess may help you achieve amazing things.

Jan 12, 2016

I have read many articles, books and scientific papers that promote the value of assimilating marginal gains, the process of making a change, testing that change and then improving on it, slowing increasing performance. This type of process has been credited with the breakaway performance of UK Cycling over the last decade and is now used […]

4The myth of talent and the power of practice.

The myth of talent and the power of practice.

May 22, 2015

Matthew Syed is a British journalist and broadcaster, who has worked for The Times newspaper since 1999. Before this he was an English table tennis international, England’s number one and competed at two Olympic Games. He is a wonderful public speaker and for the last decade has studied, written and talked about the relationship between talent and training in the creation of elite sports […]

5One more reason to get a good night’s sleep……

One more reason to get a good night’s sleep……

Oct 22, 2014

We spend about a third of our lives asleep but until recently we have known virtually nothing about why we do. For decades sleep disturbance has been known to effect academic and athletic performance as well as health but how has not been clear. Jeff Iliff’s concise 12minute Ted talk describes how his groups research is coming closer […]

6Beating the odds – Does height really matter ?

Beating the odds – Does height really matter ?

Oct 9, 2014

In last years post ‘So you want to be an Olympian’, I discussed talent identification and the research that looks at body type, size and genetics, trying to determine whether it is possible to pick out a future olympian before all the training. My conclusion was that although there have been some very successful talent identification […]

7Stitches and Cramps…. What we know and links to nutrition.

Stitches and Cramps…. What we know and links to nutrition.

Sep 5, 2014

Cramps and stitches are very common. At some time or other, every athlete and school team player has suffered and cramp can severely compromise performance and cause individuals to worry about future events. WHAT DO WE KNOW…… The 4minute video summary below gives a good overview on the causes of sport related cramping and side stitches. Given by […]

8Adversity and Rivalry Found to Boost Performance.

Adversity and Rivalry Found to Boost Performance.

Jul 24, 2014

An article published this week in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport concluded that  “Adversity-related experiences are vital in the development of superior Olympic Performances”. It suggested that carefully managed adversity can provide the perfect growing conditions for elite development. The research reminded me of a speech given in 2008 by JK Rowling to graduating […]

9Are athletes really getting faster, better, stronger? – David Epstein

Are athletes really getting faster, better, stronger? – David Epstein

Apr 30, 2014

David Epstein is an investigative reporter who covers sports, science and medicine and how they interact. In this very entertaining 15minute video for Ted, he looks at sporting achievements over the last decades, from which it seems like humans have got faster, better and stronger in nearly every way. Yet as David Epstein points out we […]

10Music and Performance – Is there a role for music in competition and exams ?

Music and Performance – Is there a role for music in competition and exams ?

Apr 11, 2014

In 1998, the iconic Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie said he had been able to break the 2000m record by “synching his (running) cadence with the beat of the pop song Scatman” (by Scatman John), which was playing during his race at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena. At the time the benefits of using music to […]
