In this episode of the Critical Oxygen podcast, Dr. Robert Jacobs and I discuss the use of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in endurance training. We explore the application of Moxy Monitor, a near-infrared spectroscopy device (NIRS), for physiological testing and monitoring. We cover topics such as the limitations of models and training plans, the use Moxy Monitor for coaches and athletes. We also touch on the recent controversies in college football and share our thoughts on the Michigan Football's National Championship performance. We discuss the benefits of indoor training, the challenges of FTP testing, and the future of physiological monitoring. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the role of coaches in the AI era and the importance of adaptability and human connection in the face of advancing technology.

TAKEAWAYS
1) Machine learning and artificial intelligence are being leveraged in the field of endurance training to optimize performance.

2) Moxy Monitor, a near-infrared spectroscopy device, can be used for physiological testing and monitoring during training.

3) The integration of Moxy Monitor with software platforms like FulGaz allows for real-time visualization of physiological data.

4) The use of AI in training plans, such as TriDot, can provide personalized and optimized training recommendations for athletes. AI and machine learning have the potential to optimize training by balancing stress and recovery.

5) Continuous physiological monitoring, such as SMO2 and metabolic devices, may offer more accurate and real-time data for training.

6) Coaches can focus on the interpersonal aspects of coaching, while AI technology handles training plan adjustments.

Enjoy!
