159: How to train for, prime and preserve power in performance with Liam Kilduff
In this episode, Steve Ingham sits down with Liam to dive into the cutting-edge science behind athletic performance. From strength training and speed development to the critical role of muscle temperature, this conversation covers everything you need to know about optimising performance for elite athletes.
Discover how post activation potentiation (PAP) can prime athletes for competition, why recovery is often underestimated, and how individualised training programs lead to better results. Liam also shares insights into future trends in sports science, particularly the use of data strategies to drive performance outcomes.
🔍 Key Takeaways:
Maintaining muscle temperature during competition is crucial.
Strength training is the foundation for developing speed and power.
Recovery and hypertrophy phases are essential for maximising results.
Athletes thrive when they have ownership over their training.
Collaboration and data strategies are shaping the future of sports science.
