Episode 48: Nick Hart - The Altitude Centre

In this episode, we meet with Nick Hart from the Altitude Centre. Nick is a specialist in extreme environment physiology and brings this knowledge into the discussion with our head Coach Philip. This conversation explores the basics of physiological testing, altitude and heat training. All of these are services available at the Altitude Centre in London.

First, we discuss how physiological testing enables athletes to understand their signature or blueprint of their physiology. This can illuminate training efficiency opportunities. 

We also cover altitude training methodologies and the best practices for athletes to use altitude training to boost performance or time spent training. We consider how home rental of altitude tents and exercise machines can be a viable alternative for athletes wanting to maximise their time or recover effectively from injury.

Finally, we look into the importance of heat adaption and training for heat tolerance. This new service in their centre impacts more athletes than you would have realised.

This is one of those episodes where you want to keep diving deeper, but for now, we will scratch the surface and explore more of this in subsequent episodes.
