In this lecture, you will learn about the common definitions of fatigue before understanding how different mechanisms of fatigue can be measured using
lab-based stimulation techniques.
Thereafter, the interplay of such mechanisms of fatigue will be covered, I will use an evidenced-based approach to cover athletic performance, sex differences, and extreme environments (altitude & heat).
Most of the data will be drawn from the sport science area but inferences will be made to clinical populations throughout.
Whether you're a physical therapist, athlete, coach, or fitness professional, understanding training specificity is critical to optimising movement performance and recovery. This lecture dives deep into the principles of specificity - how training that closely mimics your goal activity can dramatically enhance outcomes, while poorly matched interventions can stall progress or even lead to injury.
Known as 'the powerhouse of the cell' mitochondria are crucial cellular components responsible for energy release from food, cell signalling and metabolic regulation. This talk will explore the latest understandings of the role of mitochondria in ageing, human well-being, performance and cancer. In addition, the role of diet and exercise in optimising mitochondrial number and function will be discussed.
This event will introduce the field of functional neurosurgery, where targeted incisionless interventions within neural circuits are used to modulate brain function and treat disorders of movement, pain, and mood.
The session will focus on how these interventions work, when referral is appropriate, and what is known about their safety and effectiveness.
Special attention will be given to focused ultrasound - a technology that combines imaging and energy delivery to offer functional neurosurgeons a precise, incisionless therapeutic option.
