Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
If you want to fulfil your life ambitions as a human, never mind an athlete, you need to have a strong heart and cardiovascular system. As endurance athletes, we spend a lot of time improving the oxygen transport system (heart, lungs, blood, and blood vessels) to supply more O2 to the muscles so that we can go faster and longer. Sadly the heart is like any other machine and it occasionally ceases to function exactly as it should. Endurance athletes are not immune from heart problems (although perhaps we like to think we are).
In today's call, I’m delighted to be chatting with Prof. Graham Stuart, a cardiologist who has a research interest in exercise and heart disease and has worked in Sports Cardiology for over 10 years. Prof. Stuart has an MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine from the University of Exeter and is currently a Consultant Cardiologist in Bristol and has specialised in congenital heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias for close to 25 years. He is also Medical Director of Sports Cardiology UK and is a keen long-distance triathlete.
In this episode, the professor shares his wisdom on this subject and outlines how we can all make sure that we can take care of this most precious organ.
Topics covered include:
