EP2 Longevity 101: The Science Of Your Cardiovascular Health

Join us in today's episode as we delve into cardiovascular fitness - a crucial aspect of the first pillar of the Framework - Athleticism. Our hosts, Martin and Kat, science enthusiasts, unravel several studies highlighting the intricate relationship between cardiorespiratory markers and mortality risk, such as VO2 max. But wait, there's more! We'll also reveal the surprising truth about the widely used MET values in research, and why they may not be relevant to female athletes. As we dive deeper into the complexities of cardiovascular training, we ask the thought-provoking question: Can too much of a good thing be bad? You'll discover the latest research that uncovers the delicate balance between volume vs. intensity and how it may affect the health of our blood vessels. And, if that's not enough, Martin, an elite sport chiropractor and lifelong athlete, provides practical tips for optimal health and performance. Don't miss out on this exciting episode!

The health and fitness community is oversaturated with misinformation and wayward advice that leaves many struggling to find the correct and simple knowledge for their health and fitness journey. In the Framework Podcast, hosted by post-doctoral researcher Dr. Katarina Miteva and WorldTour Cycling sports chiropractor Dr. Martin Kumm, we aim to merge decades of academic and clinical knowledge to create a framework for solving common problems athletes or health-orientated people may encounter. The framework for better performance will be laid down through 5 pillars: Athleticism, Biomechanics, General Health, Recovery and Nutrition.
