This episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast sees Rob speak to Women’s Physical Performance Coach at The Football Association, Matt Cuthbert to explore the world of microdosing in resistance training.
Microdosing, a concept borrowed from pharmacology, involves prescribing small, individualized doses of resistance training to athletes. Cuthbert, a leading researcher in this area, sheds light on how this approach can optimize performance and manage athlete fatigue effectively, especially in the high-stakes world of international football.
The podcast delves into the nuts and bolts of microdosing, discussing the potential benefits of individualization and tailored training for athletes of various skill levels and playing positions. Cuthbert also highlights the crucial role of collaboration between strength and conditioning coaches and technical coaches to ensure seamless integration into team training.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into Cuthbert's research and experiences, making this episode a must-listen for coaches and sports scientists looking to stay at the forefront of cutting-edge training techniques. As Cuthbert explains, microdosing allows for a fine balance between a minimum effective dose and planned overreaching, providing athletes with the right stimulus for optimal adaptation.
With a focus on maximizing athletic potential, this podcast showcases the potential of microdosing in revolutionizing the way we approach resistance training in football and potentially other sports.
Join Rob and Matt Cuthbert for a captivating discussion on how microdosing can take performance enhancement to a whole new level.
