In this episode we continue our discussion with Dr. Dajo Sanders (part 2 of 2), an individual whose skill and expertise in the realm of cycling performance are well developed. Dajo is a prolific researcher in many aspects of endurance training and specializes in the very distinct research cohort that is well-trained high-performance cyclists. He is also a member of the performance group at Team DSM where he uses his experience and knowledge to help World Tour cyclists perform at their absolute best.In this episode we discuss with Dajo his research and practice in monitoring training load in cyclists and also what cycling performance research he is excited about.Guest panelist:Dajo Sanders, PhDTwitter: @DajoSandersResearchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dajo-Sanders-2LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dajo-sanders-ph-d-59112794/The podcast co-hosts:Jason Boynton, Ph.D.boyntoncoaching.comDamian Rusesemiprocycling.comCyrus Monkcyclistscientist.comInstagram: @cyclingperformanceclubFacebook: @cyclingperformanceclubTwitter: @cyclingclubpodLinkedIn: The Cycling Performance Club PodcastReferences:Methods of Monitoring Training Load and Their Relationships to Changes in Fitness and Performance in Competitive Road Cyclistshttps://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijspp/12/5/article-p668.xmlMaintaining Power Output with Accumulating Levels of Work Done Is a Key Determinant for Success in Professional Cyclinghttps://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/2021/09000/Maintaining_Power_Output_with_Accumulating_Levels.12.aspxHeat acclimation improves exercise performancehttps://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00495.2010?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.orgHeat training increases exercise capacity in hot but not in temperate conditions: a mechanistic counter-balanced cross-over studyhttps://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpheart.00138.2015?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org
