Ep 25 - Gregory duManoir Talks Cardiovascular Physiology and the Science Behind Energy System Development (Part 1)
In this week’s episode, we dive into the science behind exercise, or more specifically, the science behind cardiovascular physiology with our guest, Dr. Greg duManoir.
Dr. duManoir is a tenure track instructor within the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. He holds a B.Sc. (Kinesiology) and a M.Sc. from the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta and a PhD from the University of Western Ontario.
Dr. duManoir has held several teaching-related positions including Sessional Instructor at the University of Alberta and College Professor in the Human Kinetics Diploma Program at Okanagan College. While his training is in cardiovascular physiology, he has a wide breadth of knowledge on the interaction and response of human physiology during exercise.
Greg and I discussed the role of altitude training, the efficacy of training masks, the different adaptations that occur within the body as a result of different stimuli as well as several other topics. I learned a lot during our discussion and was also reminded about how much I have forgot since my years in undergrad, so I know there will be a lot of practical information for you as well.
In his free time, Dr duManoir enjoys wine, hitting the slopes, and long bike rides down muddy mountain trails.
Without any further adieu, let’s dive right in.
