Episode 30 - Dr. Trisha Scribbans - Sprint Interval Training vs. Endurance Training, Responders vs Non-Responders to Exercise

This week David had the honour of being joined by Dr. Trisha Scribbans. 

 

Dr. Trisha Scribbans’s research interests include identifying strategies of improving patient clinical outcomes following athletic therapy (AT) and other allied health care treatments/therapies and advancing the role of ATs and kinesiologists within the Canadian health care system. She is also interested in the mechanisms underlying the ability of high-intensity interval training/exercise (HIT) to elicit comparable improvements in local (e.g. skeletal muscle) and systemic metabolism as moderate-intensity extended duration exercise (i.e. endurance training), variability in individual responses to exercise training, and the development of anatomical and educational models for the improvement of manual skill acquisition in novice health care providers.

 

In this episode David & Dr. Scribbans discuss:

 

Topic 1: Exercise Adaptations and Training Intensity

 

Q1. What is Vo2 max & how significant a role does ones Vo2 max play in their health status? 

 

Q2. How is the exact definition of high intensity training? (Is there a difference between HIT and SIT?)

 

Q3. Can HIT elicit the same adaptations as conventional endurance training? Is one form of training superior to the other in terms of increasing Vo2 Max and performance?

 

Q4. What are the underlying mechanism that allow similar benefits to be achieved from HIT training as from endurance training?

 

Topic 2: Individuality and responses to exercise protocols

 

Q5. What role does inter-individual response play in exercise response and adaptations? Do we all respond to exercise training in a similar way?

 

Q6. What factors might lead to these response differences?
