Episode 57 Exploring the Science of HRV and Strength Training with Dr. Mike T Nelson

Sports Science Dudes

Dr. Mike T Nelson is a researcher with a PhD in exercise physiology and a master's degree in mechanical engineering, Mike walked us through the intricate details of heart rate variability (HRV). Tapping into his expertise, we discussed its potential in predicting overtraining in athletes and the challenges involved in its accurate measurement. But that's not all! We also ventured into the mysterious world of fasting, exploring its potential benefits and the difficulties of assessing its effects scientifically.
Mike T. Nelson, PhD, MSME, CSCS, CISSN, is a research fanatic who specializes in metabolic flexibility, heart rate variability, and human performance. He has spent 20 years of his life learning how the human body works. He has a PhD in Exercise Physiology, and a MS in Mechanical Engineering (biomechanics). He's an Associate Professor at the Carrick Institute, university instructor at Rocky Mountain University, creator of the Flex Diet Certification & Physiologic Flexibility Cert and a Human Optimization Specialist with the Special Forces Experience. He also is the Research and Human Performance Science Advisor at Tecton -makers of a unique ketone ester, and performance analysis with Rapid Health. He has published research in both physiology and engineering peer-reviewed journals. He's even been called in to share his techniques with top military agencies. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife, lifting odd objects, going to metal concerts, and kiteboarding. Find out more at www.miketnelson.com
